Abstract
In its infancy during the formation of the specialty of critical care medicine, the need for safe and effective nutritional therapy was recognized as a key component of the care for severely ill patients admitted to an intensive care unit. The origin of modern critical care nutrition can be traced back to the invention of total parenteral nutrition, which enabled the delivery of long-term nutritional support to critically ill adults who had insufficient absorption or access to the gastrointestinal tract. This report discusses the rationale for these innovations and summarizes the events leading up to our current state of patient management in critical care nutrition.

Abstract
The interplay between nutrition and infectious diseases has been a central theme in health sciences for the last decades due to its great impact on the pediatric population, especially in immunocompromised patients and critically ill children. As conventional treatment and the development of antimicrobials for most infections standard treatment is either limited or not possible, alternative treatment options should be explored. Recent research shows that early enteral nutrition and nutritional supplements (such as probiotics and symbiotics) could have a pivotal role in promoting a healthy microbiome and subsequently preventing and improving outcomes for certain pediatric infectious diseases. However, understanding the specific mechanism of action and tailoring nutritional interventions remains a significant challenge. The optimal dose range for different probiotic strains and prebiotics and the most effective combination for each treatment indication needs further investigation and is yet to be defined. Additionally, in the era of personalized medicine, goal- and patient-directed treatment are key to optimizing and improving outcomes and minimizing potential complications and side effects, especially in complex and immunocompromised patients. The main objectives of this narrative review are 1. to explore the relationship and the complex interactions between microbiota and the human immune system; 2. to describe the influence of nutrition on infectious diseases; 3. to evaluate the impact of supplementation with probiotics and symbiotics in the prevention and treatment of the most relevant infections in children; and 4. to identify knowledge gaps and potential research priorities regarding the use of these supplements in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Nutrition therapy is important in the management of critically ill patients and is continuously evolving as new evidence emerges. The Japanese Critical Care Nutrition Guideline 2024 (JCCNG 2024) is specific to Japan and is the latest set of clinical practice guidelines for nutrition therapy in critical care that was revised from JCCNG 2016 by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine. An English version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese version. These guidelines were developed to help health care providers understand and provide nutrition therapy that will improve the outcomes of children and adults admitted to intensive care units or requiring intensive care, regardless of the disease. The intended users of these guidelines are all healthcare professionals involved in intensive care, including those who are not familiar with nutrition therapy. JCCNG 2024 consists of 37 clinical questions and 24 recommendations, covering immunomodulation therapy, nutrition therapy for special conditions, and nutrition therapy for children. These guidelines were developed in accordance with the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system by experts from various healthcare professionals related to nutrition therapy and/or critical care. All GRADE-based recommendations, good practice statements (GPS), future research questions, and answers to background questions were finalized by consensus using the modified Delphi method. Strong recommendations for adults include early enteral nutrition (EN) within 48 h and the provision of pre/synbiotics. Weak recommendations for adults include the use of a nutrition protocol, EN rather than parenteral nutrition, the provision of higher protein doses, post-pyloric EN, continuous EN, omega-3 fatty acid-enriched EN, the provision of probiotics, and indirect calorimetry use. Weak recommendations for children include early EN within 48 h, bolus EN, and energy/protein-dense EN formulas. A nutritional assessment is recommended by GPS for both adults and children. JCCNG 2024 will be disseminated through educational activities mainly by the JCCNG Committee at various scientific meetings and seminars. Since studies on nutritional treatment for critically ill patients are being reported worldwide, these guidelines will be revised in 4 to 6 years. We hope that these guidelines will be used in clinical practice for critically ill patients and in future research.

Sci Rep 2025; 15:5577. [PMID: 39955353 PMCID: PMC11829962 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-90366-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2025] [Indexed: 02/17/2025] Open
Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) represents a severe condition in infants, with perforation being a particularly critical pathological manifestation. However, there is an absence of guidelines regarding the refeeding of infants recovering from perforation subsequent to NEC. This study aimed to determine the optimal refeeding method for term infants recovering from perforation after NEC. The study encompassed three aspects: the timing of enteral nutrition (EN) resumption, the progression of EN, and the method of EN resumption. Ninety full-term neonates who developed perforation following NEC and underwent surgical intervention were included. These samples were divided into early enteral nutrition (EEN, < 7 days) and late enteral nutrition (LEN, ≥ 7 days) groups based on the timing of EN resumption; faster increase (FI, ≥ 20 ml/kg/d) and slower increase (SI, < 20 ml/kg/d) groups based on the progression of EN; intact protein formula (IPF), special medical formula (SMF, including EHF and AABF), and mixed feeding (MF) groups based on the method of EN resumption. EEN infants had a lower incidence of intestinal stenosis and reoperation (43.5% vs. 77.6%, p = 0.002; 60.9% vs. 82.1%, p = 0.038), and a shorter duration of hospital stay after surgery and parenteral nutrition (PN) than LEN infants (14 days vs. 20 days, p < 0.001; 11 days vs. 17 days, p < 0.001). Faster increasing feed volumes was associated with shorter duration of hospital stay and parenteral nutrition (15 days vs. 20 days, p < 0.001; 14 days vs. 17 days, p < 0.001), but a slower rate of weight gain (0.020 kg vs. 0.129 kg, p < 0.01). The time to repeat NPO in SMF group is shorter than IPF an MF groups (3 days vs. 4 days and 9 days, p = 0.025). Our study demonstrates the beneficial effects of early enteral feeding and fast advancement of feed volumes in term infants with NEC and perforation after surgery, specifically in reducing short-term complications and the duration of hospital stay following surgery and PN. Additionally, this study suggests that IPF and MF significantly contribute to stimulate intestinal adoption recovery.

In Vivo 2025; 39:335-339. [PMID: 39740890 PMCID: PMC11705135 DOI: 10.21873/invivo.13832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2024] [Revised: 09/30/2024] [Accepted: 10/01/2024] [Indexed: 01/02/2025]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol is adopted in clinical practice worldwide, but a lack of evidence for measurable benefits after upper gastrointestinal (GI) surgeries can be detected especially regarding early oral feeding. PATIENTS AND METHODS A propensity score-matching study was conducted at the Department of Surgery of the University of Pécs between January 2020 and December 2023. The study included patients who underwent upper GI cancer surgery and were treated according to an early oral feeding protocol (EOF). Investigational and control groups were analyzed and compared from prospectively collected datasets. RESULTS We enrolled 72 patients, 36 in the EOF group, and 36 case-matched patients in the traditional late oral feeding (LOF) group. Oral feeding in the EOF group started on an average of 1.94 days postoperatively, while in the LOF group, it began on an average of 5.72 days postoperatively. EOF could reduce the average length of hospital stay. Statistically significant decreases were observed in the EOF group concerning the time until the first bowel movements, and the length of postoperative intravenous fluid therapy. No significant differences were detected regarding mortality, anastomosis insufficiency, inflammation and stricture or seroma formation. CONCLUSION Early oral nutritional support positively impacts the recovery of patients following upper GI surgery without increasing mortality or anastomosis insufficiency rates compared to traditional protocols. Significant improvements were observed in quality of life indicators for patients in the early oral feeding group. This approach aligns with ERAS goals and suggests a valuable strategy for postoperative care in upper GI cancer surgeries.

Management of Traumatic Duodenal Injury: Is There a Role for Early Parenteral Nutrition? J Surg Res 2024; 302:773-777. [PMID: 39216459 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2024.07.119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traumatic duodenal injuries are complex in nature and pose major challenges to trauma surgeons. These injuries are associated with high mortality rates ranging from 18% to 30% and require prompt, comprehensive care. Traumatic injury induces a hypercatabolic state that mobilizes body energy stores, leading to muscle wasting, delayed healing, and potential multi-organ failure. Nutritional support is vital in keeping up with the metabolic demands of traumatically injured patients. However, exactly when and how nutrition should be provided for traumatic duodenal injuries is unclear. We hypothesize that patients who sustain high-grade duodenal injuries (grades III-V) will be unable to tolerate enteral nutrition (EN) and may benefit from early initiation of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). METHODS In this retrospective chart review study, we queried the trauma registry for patients admitted between January 2018 and December 2022 with duodenal injury. Individuals under the age of 18 and individuals who were pregnant were excluded. Twenty-eight patients met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The primary endpoint was median number of days from initial injury to supplemental nutrition. We also evaluated the route used to achieve adequate nutrition based on duodenal injury grade (I-V), mortality based on duodenal injury grade, morbidity based on route of nutrition supplementation (hospital length of stay [LOS], intensive care unit LOS, and ventilator days), and complications based on route of nutrition supplementation. RESULTS Of the 28 patients analyzed, 11 received EN, 10 received TPN (6 of which survived to transition to EN), and 7 died within 3 d of admission and did not receive any form of nutrition. The median number of days post-trauma to toleration of enteral feeding (defined as by mouth or tube feeding that meet total caloric needs based on nutritionist recommendations) was 4 d for those who did tolerate and maintained tolerance of enteral feeding, compared to 7.5 d post-trauma to initiate total parenteral feeding (P = 0.061). Injury grades I and II tolerated EN within a median of 6 d, whereas injury grades III and IV showed inability to tolerate EN until after a median of 22 d or longer (P = 0.02). Mortality increased as injury grade increased. Patients who received TPN were more likely to develop abscesses than those receiving EN (80% vs 27%, P = 0.03) but not more likely to develop a duodenal leak (P = 0.31). Patients who received TPN had longer hospital LOS (35.5 d vs 9 d, P = 0.008), longer intensive care unit LOS (17 d vs 4 d, P = 0.005), and increased ventilator days (9 d vs 1 d, P = 0.005) when compared to patients who received EN. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with higher grade duodenal injuries showed inability to tolerate EN until after a median of 22 d, and therefore, consideration should be given to initiating TPN early to mitigate the catabolic effects of malnutrition. Further studies need to be done with a larger number of patients to evaluate the effects of malnutrition in these patients.

Abstract
An update to the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition guidelines for nutrition provision in critically ill adults was published in 2022. In contrast to the previous set of guidelines published in 2016, the revised guidelines selected only studies meeting specific criteria for scientific rigor and only considered publications reflecting more modern intensive care unit (ICU) practices (studies between January 1, 2001, and July 15, 2020). No consensus recommendations were included. Although these methods limited the number of recommendations made and the applicability to current ICU practices, important implications for patient care were evaluated and acknowledged. The literature supporting guideline recommendations that impact parenteral nutrition management is summarized in this review, along with key studies published after the guidelines were revised. Considerations for practical application of this evidence, along with limitations and future guideline directions, are also described.

Abstract
Malnutrition poses a critical challenge in inflammatory bowel disease, with the potential to detrimentally impact medical treatment, surgical outcomes, and general well-being. Parenteral nutrition is crucial in certain clinical scenarios, such as with patients suffering from short bowel syndrome, intestinal insufficiency, high-yielding gastrointestinal fistula, or complete small bowel obstruction, to effectively manage malnutrition. Nevertheless, research over the years has attempted to define the potential effects of parenteral nutrition on the intestinal barrier and the composition of the gut microbiota. In this narrative review, we have gathered and analyzed findings from both preclinical and clinical studies on this topic. Based on existing evidence, there is a clear correlation between short- and long-term parenteral nutrition and negative effects on the intestinal system. These include mucosal atrophic damage and immunological and neuroendocrine dysregulation, as well as alterations in gut barrier permeability and microbiota composition. However, the mechanistic role of these changes in inflammatory bowel disease remains unclear. Therefore, further research is necessary to effectively address the numerous gaps and unanswered questions pertaining to these issues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Leak following surgical repair of traumatic duodenal injuries results in prolonged hospitalization and oftentimes nil per os(NPO) treatment. Parenteral nutrition(PN) has known morbidity; however, duodenal leak(DL) patients often have complex injuries and hospital courses resulting in barriers to enteral nutrition(EN). We hypothesized EN alone would be associated with 1)shorter duration until leak closure and 2)less infectious complications and shorter hospital length of stay(HLOS) compared to PN. METHODS This was a post-hoc analysis of a retrospective, multicenter study from 35 Level-1 trauma centers, including patients >14 years-old who underwent surgery for duodenal injuries(1/2010-12/2020) and endured post-operative DL. The study compared nutrition strategies: EN vs PN vs EN + PN using Chi-Square and Kruskal-Wallis tests; if significance was found pairwise comparison or Dunn's test were performed. RESULTS There were 113 patients with DL: 43 EN, 22 PN, and 48 EN + PN. Patients were young(median age 28 years-old) males(83.2%) with penetrating injuries(81.4%). There was no difference in injury severity or critical illness among the groups, however there were more pancreatic injuries among PN groups. EN patients had less days NPO compared to both PN groups(12 days[IQR23] vs 40[54] vs 33[32],p = <0.001). Time until leak closure was less in EN patients when comparing the three groups(7 days[IQR14.5] vs 15[20.5] vs 25.5[55.8],p = 0.008). EN patients had less intra-abdominal abscesses, bacteremia, and days with drains than the PN groups(all p < 0.05). HLOS was shorter among EN patients vs both PN groups(27 days[24] vs 44[62] vs 45[31],p = 0.001). When controlling for predictors of leak, regression analysis demonstrated EN was associated with shorter HLOS(β -24.9, 95%CI -39.0 to -10.7,p < 0.001). CONCLUSION EN was associated with a shorter duration until leak closure, less infectious complications, and shorter length of stay. Contrary to some conventional thought, PN was not associated with decreased time until leak closure. We therefore suggest EN should be the preferred choice of nutrition in patients with duodenal leaks whenever feasible. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Despite advancements in pediatric burn care, the profound hypermetabolic response associated with severe burns remains a multifaceted challenge throughout the continuum of care. Understanding the various physiologic disturbances that constitute hypermetabolism is crucial for a thorough evaluation and for implementing appropriate surgical and nonsurgical interventions. In this article, we describe the pathophysiology and treatment of hypermetabolism in pediatric burn patients with a focus on reducing resting energy requirements, minimizing infection, and optimizing nutrition for patients undergoing frequent surgical intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Enteral nutrition (EN) in the prone position for severe respiratory failure is considered possible with care. However, the extent to which it is feasible, especially its association with the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, is unclear. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between the duration of prone position therapy and adequacy of EN delivery and explored factors associated with this relationship in an observational study of critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who were actively treated in the prone position. METHODS This study was a secondary analysis of a worldwide one-day prevalence study in the COVID-19 era. We investigated the care and nutritional therapy provided to critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to ICU, along with ICU-related information. We targeted patients who received only tube feeding and analyzed the relationship between the duration of prone position, length of ICU stays, and nutrition delivery via EN. In addition, a multivariate analysis was performed to examine factors affecting the achievement of EN delivery of 20 kcal/kg/day or more in patients who were placed in the prone position for at least 6 h. RESULTS A total of 399 patients who received only EN, excluding parenteral nutrition and oral intake, were included, of whom 58 % received EN energy delivery of ≥20 kcal/kg/day; this rate increased with the length of ICU stay, regardless of the duration of prone position. In a multivariate analysis of 121 patients who were in the prone position for at least 6 h, the presence of dedicated dietitians in the ICU (OR = 6.91, 95 % CI = 1.98 to 24.1, p < 0.01) was associated with a higher energy delivery. Conversely, the use of muscle relaxants (OR = 0.32, 95 % CI = 0.11 to 0.98, p = 0.04) and presence of nutrition protocols (OR = 0.24, 95 % CI = 0.07 to 0.77, p = 0.02) was associated with a lower energy delivery. CONCLUSIONS Patients with COVID-19 received adequate nutrition by EN even during prone position. Target EN delivery would be achieved with the introduction of prone position.

Abstract
Japan is becoming a superaged society, and nutrition therapy for the elderly population is very important. Elderly individuals often have multiple diseases and are prone to malnutrition. Furthermore, functional constipation, diarrhoea, faecal incontinence, etc., may occur despite no organic abnormality of digestive tract function. Due to these disabilities, the resulting malnutrition, and the slow recovery, it is often difficult for elderly individuals to reintegrate into society. Secondary or incorrect nutritional management increases complications, decreases physical function and worsens the prognosis. Previous statistical research suggests that in-hospital mortality is significantly higher among hospitalised patients aged ≥65 years who ingest less than half of their caloric needs. Therefore, appropriate nutritional management from an early stage is essential for elderly individuals. Moreover, functional excretion disorders, dementia, and sarcopenia (muscle-wasting disease) are attracting attention as pathological conditions unique to elderly individuals, and it is essential to undergo rehabilitation early with nutritional management. Being elderly does not preclude nutritional management, and it is necessary to reconsider appropriate nutritional therapy even in the terminal stage and in advanced physical and mental illnesses. This review explores the relationship between dietary intake and FGIDs, with a focus on elderly adults.

Abstract
Objectives Review of the current and relevant literature to develop a list of evidence-based recommendations that can be implemented in head and neck surgical practices. To provide rationale for the multiple aspects of comprehensive care for head and neck surgical patients. To improve postsurgical outcomes for head and neck surgical patients. Methods Extensive review of the medical literature was performed and relevant studies in both the head and neck surgery and other surgical specialties were considered for inclusion. Results A total of 18 aspects of perioperative care were included in this review. The literature search included 276 publications considered to be the most relevant and up to date evidence. Each topic is concluded with recommendation grade and quality of evidence for the recommendation. Conclusion Since it's conception, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have continued to push for comprehensive and evidence based postsurgical care to improve patient outcomes. Head and neck oncology is one of the newest fields to develop a protocol. Due to the complexity of this patient population and their postsurgical needs, a multidisciplinary approach is needed to facilitate recovery while minimizing complications. Current and future advances in head and neck cancer research will serve to strengthen and add new principles to a comprehensive ERAS protocol. Level of Evidence 2a.

Abstract
PURPOSE Parenteral nutrition (PN) has been shown to be a safe method of feeding in the intensive care unit with modern infection prevention practices, but similar analysis in the hematology-oncology setting is lacking. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 1,617 patients with hematologic malignancies admitted and discharged from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania during 3,629 encounters from 2017 to 2019 was undertaken to evaluate the association of PN administration with risk of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). Proportions of mucosal barrier injury (MBI)-CLABSI and non-MBI-CLABSI were also compared between groups. RESULTS Risk of CLABSI was associated with cancer type and duration of neutropenia but not with PN administration (odds ratio, 1.015; 95% CI, 0.986 to 1.045; P = .305) in a multivariable analysis. MBI-CLABSI comprised 73% of CLABSI in patients exposed to and 70% in patients not exposed to PN, and there was no significant difference between groups (χ2 = 0.06, P = .800). CONCLUSION PN was not associated with increased risk of CLABSI in a sample of patients with hematologic malignancy with central venous catheters when adjusting for cancer type, duration of neutropenia, and catheter days. The high proportion of MBI-CLABSI highlights the effect of gut permeability within this population.

Abstract
Background The enteral route is commonly utilised to support the nutritional requirements of critically ill patients. However, there is paucity of data guiding clinicians regarding the appropriate method of delivering the prescribed dose. Continuous enteral feeding is commonly used; however, a bolus or intermittent method of administration may provide several advantages such as minimising interruptions. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to compare a continuous versus an intermittent or bolus enteral nutrition administration method. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed with studies identified from the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases. Studies were included if they compared a continuous with either an intermittent or bolus administration method of enteral nutrition in adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Study quality was assessed using the PEDro and Newcastle–Ottawa scoring systems. Review Manager was used for performing the random-effects meta-analysis on the outcomes of mortality, constipation, diarrhoea, increased gastric residuals, pneumonia, and bacterial colonisation. Results A total of 5546 articles were identified, and 133 were included for full text review. Fourteen were included in the final analysis. There was an increased risk of constipation with patients receiving continuous enteral nutrition (relative risk 2.24, 95% confidence interval 1.01–4.97, p = 0.05). No difference was identified in other outcome measures. No appreciable bias was identified. Conclusion The current meta-analysis has not identified any clinically relevant difference in most outcome measures relevant to the care of critically ill patients. However, there is a paucity of high-quality randomised controlled clinical trials to guide this decision. Therefore, clinicians may consider either dosing regimen in the context of the patient’s care requirements.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Placement of feeding tubes in elderly patients has not been studied in elderly trauma patients. The objectives of this study were to determine in-hospital mortality in elderly trauma patients receiving operative feeding tubes and to identify factors associated with in-hospital mortality. METHODS A retrospective study utilizing 2017 National Trauma Data Bank data was conducted. Trauma patients aged 65 and older with operative feeding tubes were included. Demographic, injury, comorbidity, and general hospital course data were analyzed. Two cohorts were constructed: survival and non-survival to hospital discharge. Bivariate analysis and logistic regression were performed to determine factors independently associated with in-hospital mortality. RESULTS A total of 3,398 patients were analyzed with 331 (9.7%) dying during hospitalization. Patients had a median age of 75 years and sustained severe injuries (median ISS 17). Patients who died were older (76 vs. 75 years, p = .03), more severely injured (ISS 22 vs. 17, p < .001), had a higher geriatric trauma outcome score (134 vs. 121, p < .001), and had lower rates of dementia (8 vs. 13%, p = .01). Multivariate regression showed male sex, lower admission GCS, higher Charlson Comorbidity Index, and an Advance Directive Limiting Care (ADLC) were independently associated with in-hospital mortality. Dementia diagnosis was negatively associated with in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS The in-hospital mortality rate for elderly trauma patients with operative feeding tubes placed was notably high. Identifying factors associated with in-hospital mortality will serve to assist providers in counseling patients and caregivers about the outcomes of operative feeding tube placement in this patient population.

Abstract
Parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD) refers to a spectrum of conditions that can develop cholestasis, steatosis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis in the setting of parenteral nutrition (PN) use. Patient risk factors include short bowel syndrome, bacterial overgrowth and translocation, disturbance of hepatobiliary circulation, and lack of enteral feeding. A growing body of evidence suggests an intricate linkage between the gut microbiota and the pathogenesis of PNALD. In this review, we highlight current knowledge on the taxonomic and functional changes in the gut microbiota that might serve as noninvasive biomarkers. We also discuss the function of microbial metabolites and associated signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of PNALD. By providing the perspectives of microbiota-host interactions in PNALD for basic and translational research and summarizing current limitations of microbiota-based approaches, this review paves the path for developing novel and precise microbiota-based therapies in PNALD.

Appl Nurs Res 2022; 63:151545. [PMID: 35034702 DOI: 10.1016/j.apnr.2021.151545] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Revised: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enteral nutrition support plays a key role in minimizing malnutrition in critically-ill patients, and its provision is originally a nurse's responsibility. Thus, nurses need to have a sufficient knowledge and a positive attitude with regard to enteral nutrition. In Palestine, literature regarding nurses' knowledge, practices, and attitudes of enteral nutrition is rare. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate Palestinian nurses' knowledge, practices, and attitudes regarding enteral nutrition. METHOD Interview based pre-tested questionnaire was used during data collection procedure. Cronbach Alpha was also used to determine the reliability of knowledge, attitude and practice questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and ANOVA were performed. RESULTS A total of 325 registered nurses were involved in the final analysis. The mean of the knowledge score is (9.6 ± 2.8) out of 20. It was confirmed that sociodemographic characteristics has no influence on nutrition knowledge score among nurses. The findings also reveal that certain aspects of enteral nutrition practices were consistent with the current guidelines such as flushing the tube and backrest elevation. On the other hand, certain practices showed inconsistency and differences with international guidelines such as checking gastric residual volume. Results also showed that nurses attitudes were positive towards enteral nutrition. CONCLUSION It was found that nurses' have inadequate knowledge regarding enteral nutrition. The findings also showed that enteral nutrition practices among nurses were somewhat incongruent with best current evidence. However, it was noted that they have positive attitudes towards enteral nutrition. Promoting research utilization is highly needed as well as establishing evidence-based guidelines.

Abstract
Traumatic duodenal injuries are rare and often challenging to diagnose and treat. Management of these injuries remains controversial and continues to evolve. Here, we performed a review of the literature and guidelines for the diagnosis and management of traumatic duodenal injuries. A common recommendation in more recent literature is primary, tension-free repair of duodenal injuries when possible if surgical repair is necessary. Conversely, if duodenal injuries are unamenable to primary repair, more complex procedures such as Roux-en-Y duodenojejunostomy or pancreaticoduodenectomy may be necessary. Regardless of injury grade or type of surgical repair, the literature continues to support wide extraluminal drainage. Over time, the management of complex duodenal injuries has evolved to favor simple primary repair whenever possible. According to recent studies, more complex procedures are associated with higher rates of post-operative complications and should be reserved for severe injuries when primary repair is not possible.

Abstract
Objective Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is a comorbidity of ischemic stroke related to clinical outcomes. Early enteral nutrition (EEN; within 48 hours) reduces the incidence of infection and length of intensive care unit (ICU)/hospital stay. The relationship between EEN and critical care outcomes, including SAP, in patients with ischemic stroke has been insufficiently studied. Methods We recruited 499 patients in this retrospective observational study. We evaluated SAP incidence within 14 days from admission. Patients were divided into an EEN group and a late EN group (LEN; start later than EEN). We compared groups regarding background and length of ICU/hospital stay. Results EN was started within 48 hours in 236 patients. SAP was diagnosed in 94 patients (18.8%), with most in the LEN group (28.1% vs. 8.5%). Median [interquartile range] lengths of hospitalization (22 [12–30] days vs. 35 [20–45] days) and ICU stay (4 [2–5] days vs. 6 [3–8] days) were longer in the LEN group. EEN reduced the incidence of SAP. By contrast, consciousness disturbance and worsening consciousness level increased the SAP incidence. Increased age and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score were associated with start of prolonged EN. Conclusions We found that EEN may reduce SAP risk.

The prevalence and possible causes of enteral tube feeding intolerance in critically ill patients: A cross-sectional study. JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES 2021; 26:60. [PMID: 34729068 PMCID: PMC8506243 DOI: 10.4103/jrms.jrms_689_20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2020] [Revised: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Background: Enteral tube feeding intolerance (ETFI) is one of the most common complications of enteral nutrition (EN), which may lead to increased mortality and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ETFI and effects on feeding intolerance on nutrition and clinical outcomes in Iran. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019 at the three general ICUs of Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad, Iran, during 7 days on 245 patients. The collected data included demographic characteristics, primary diagnosis, the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE ІІ) score, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, duration of mechanical ventilation, and length of ICU stay. Feeding intolerance was assessed using daily questionnaires for 7 days. ETFI was determined as the interruption of EN based on gastrointestinal causes, including large gastric residuals, abdominal distension, vomiting, diarrhea, and subjective discomfort. Results: Overall, 245 critically ill patients (122 males and 123 females) were included in this study, with a mean age of 58.43 ± 19.2 years in three general ICUs. The highest prevalence rate of ETFI was 91.8%, which occurred on the 2nd day although the rate decreased in the following days. The minimum ETFI was observed on the last day (38.8%). Feeding intolerance was associated with the increased APACHE II scores (P = 0.04), SOFA scores (P < 0.001), and duration of mechanical ventilation (P < 0.001) compared with the tolerant patients. The most common causes of ETFI in the patients admitted to the ICU were gastric residual volume (GRV), large GRV, vomiting, and distension. Conclusion: ETFI was prevalent in almost two-third (66%) of the critically ill patients receiving EN based on the GRV. ETFI was associated with deteriorated nutritional status and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The intestine plays a fundamental role as a regulator of the mucosal immune response, mostly through the production and secretion of secretory Immunoglobulin A (sIgA) by the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Enteral stimulation, a balance between the commensal microbiota and pathogenic microorganisms, in addition to an adequate nutritional status is required for the optimal immune function of the intestine. Fasting subjects or those supported only with parenteral nutrition, show a progressive anatomical and physiological deterioration of the GALT, triggering a series of alterations resulting in a decrease in the intestinal immune response, modification in the type of microbiota, and changes that lead to or aggravate malnutrition. Patients with malnutrition present an increase in the rate of nosocomial infections, hospital length of stay, and mortality. An adequate nutritional assessment at hospital admission and avoiding long periods of fasting are paramount to prevent these unfavorable outcomes. Herein, we present a mini-state of the art review on the role and importance of enteral stimulation by GALT-mediated immune response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parenteral nutrition (PN) is an available option for nutritional therapy and is often required in the hospital setting to overcome malnutrition. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess whether PN is associated with an increased risk of mortality or infectious complications in all groups of hospitalized patients compared with those receiving other nutritional support strategies. METHODS For this systematic review and meta-analysis MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central, Scopus, clinicaltrials.gov, and Web of Science were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies with parallel groups that explored the effect of PN on mortality and infectious complications, published until March 2021. Two independent reviewers extracted the data and assessed the risk of bias. Fixed-effects meta-analysis was performed to compare the groups from RCTs. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was used to identify whether the results were sufficient to reach definitive conclusions. RESULTS Of the 83 included studies that compared patients receiving PN with those receiving other strategies, 67 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. PN was not associated with a higher risk of mortality (RR: 1.01; 95% CI: 0.95, 1.07). On the other hand, PN was associated with a higher risk of infectious events (RR: 1.23; 95% CI: 1.12, 1.36). PN was specifically associated with abdominal infection and catheter infection. The TSA showed that there were sufficient data to make numerical conclusions about mortality, any infectious event, and abdominal infectious complications. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that although PN is not associated with greater mortality in hospitalized patients, it is associated with infectious complications. Through TSA, definite conclusions about survival and infection rates could be made.This review was registered at www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/ as CRD42018075599.

ESPEN practical guideline: Clinical nutrition in surgery. Clin Nutr 2021; 40:4745-4761.

Abstract
Early oral feeding is the preferred mode of nutrition for surgical patients. Avoidance of any nutritional therapy bears the risk of underfeeding during the postoperative course after major surgery. Considering that malnutrition and underfeeding are risk factors for postoperative complications, early enteral feeding is especially relevant for any surgical patient at nutritional risk, especially for those undergoing upper gastrointestinal surgery. The focus of this guideline is to cover both nutritional aspects of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) concept and the special nutritional needs of patients undergoing major surgery, e.g. for cancer, and of those developing severe complications despite best perioperative care. From a metabolic and nutritional point of view, the key aspects of perioperative care include the integration of nutrition into the overall management of the patient, avoidance of long periods of preoperative fasting, re-establishment of oral feeding as early as possible after surgery, the start of nutritional therapy immediately if a nutritional risk becomes apparent, metabolic control e.g. of blood glucose, reduction of factors which exacerbate stress-related catabolism or impaired gastrointestinal function, minimized time on paralytic agents for ventilator management in the postoperative period, and early mobilization to facilitate protein synthesis and muscle function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major burns complicated by stress ulceration and perforation of the stomach or duodenum is a recognized clinical phenomenon. Colonic perforation in burns patients is not common, and the overall incidence, diagnosis, intervention undertaken and mortality is incompletely described in the literature. METHOD We performed a systematic review of the literature on severe burns resulting in colonic perforation during the initial admission period. Relevant studies from January 1975 to June 2020 were retrieved from MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. Patient demographics, co-morbidities, total body surface area (TBSA) and anatomical region of burn, site of colonic perforation and management, nutrition, sepsis and microbiology, length of stay and overall outcome were extracted. We present a case series of five burns patients who had colonic perforations in our Specialist Burns Center. RESULTS We identified 54 studies, of which nine (two case series and seven case reports) met the inclusion criteria. Colonic perforation following burns was most common in middle-aged male patients with a proportion of patients having a history of mental health issues. In most cases, the TBSA associated with a colonic perforation was ≥30% (11/16 patients, 69%). Perforations mainly affected the right side of the colon (12/16 patients, 75%), usually occurring after the second week of admission (13/16 patients, 81%). Right-sided colonic perforations were associated with an increased mortality rate compared to left-sided perforations (42% vs 25%). CONCLUSIONS The current literature is mainly limited to case series and case reports and confirms that colonic perforations in burns patients are rare. Colonic perforations are related to the systemic effect of burn injuries including sepsis and gastrointestinal stasis. We have identified patients who are at higher risk of developing colonic perforations and have described the common findings in these patients. Through greater awareness early diagnosis and prompt intervention may be achieved to improve outcomes and reduce associated morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Diarrhea and pneumonia are common and serious complications in hospitalized patients requiring nasogastric enteral feeding. Our study aimed to compare the risk of diarrhea and pneumonia between intermittent nasogastric enteral feeding (IEF) and continuous nasogastric enteral feeding (CEF). We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane for relevant articles published from August 9, 1992, to September 1, 2019. A total of 637 IEF and CEF patients were included in our meta-analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) with associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the effects of diarrhea and pneumonia. We showed that hospital patients that required IEF had an increased risk of diarrhea compared with CEF. In the subgroup analyses, similar conclusions were identified in the non-China group and small sample size group (size < 100). However, our results showed no significant differences in the China group or large sample size group (size ≥ 100). Furthermore, our analysis showed that no significant association was observed for the risk of pneumonia between IEF and CEF patients. For inpatients requiring nasogastric enteral feeding, CEF is a better method of enteral nutrition compared with IEF, of which patients experience a significantly increased risk of diarrhea.

Abstract
The Chinese guidelines for IAI presented here were developed by a panel that included experts from the fields of surgery, critical care, microbiology, infection control, pharmacology, and evidence-based medicine. All questions were structured in population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes format, and evidence profiles were generated. Recommendations were generated following the principles of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system or Best Practice Statement (BPS), when applicable. The final guidelines include 45 graded recommendations and 17 BPSs, including the classification of disease severity, diagnosis, source control, antimicrobial therapy, microbiologic evaluation, nutritional therapy, other supportive therapies, diagnosis and management of specific IAIs, and recognition and management of source control failure. Recommendations on fluid resuscitation and organ support therapy could not be formulated and thus were not included. Accordingly, additional high-quality clinical studies should be performed in the future to address the clinicians' concerns.

Alsharif DJ, Alsharif FJ, Aljuraiban GS, Abulmeaty MMA. Effect of Supplemental Parenteral Nutrition Versus Enteral Nutrition Alone on Clinical Outcomes in Critically Ill Adult Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Nutrients 2020; 12:E2968. [PMID: 32998412 PMCID: PMC7601814 DOI: 10.3390/nu12102968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2020] [Revised: 09/16/2020] [Accepted: 09/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Enteral nutrition (EN) is considered the first feeding route for critically ill patients. However, adverse effects such as gastrointestinal complications limit its optimal provision, leading to inadequate energy and protein intake. We compared the clinical outcomes of supplemental parenteral nutrition added to EN (SPN + EN) and EN alone in critically ill adults. Electronic databases restricted to full-text randomized controlled trials available in the English language and published from January 1990 to January 2019 were searched. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Jadad scale, and the meta-analysis was conducted using the MedCalc software. A total of five studies were eligible for inclusion in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Compared to EN alone, SPN + EN decreased the risk of nosocomial infections (relative risk (RR) = 0.733, p = 0.032) and intensive care unit (ICU) mortality (RR = 0.569, p = 0.030). No significant differences were observed between SPN + EN and EN in the length of hospital stay, hospital mortality, length of ICU stay, and duration of mechanical ventilation. In conclusion, when enteral feeding fails to fulfill the energy requirements in critically ill adult patients, SPN may be beneficial as it helps in decreasing nosocomial infections and ICU mortality, in addition to increasing energy and protein intakes with no negative effects on other clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated clinical and nutritional outcomes according to multidisciplinary team involvement in nutrition support in a regional trauma intensive care unit (TICU). METHODS We retrospectively compared the outcomes for 339 patients admitted to the TICU for >5 days depending on nutrition support team (NST) involvement (n=176) and non-NST involvement (n=163). RESULTS The mean age and injury severity score (ISS) were 57.3±16.7 years and 18.6±9.7, respectively. Fifty-three patients (15.6%) had shock on admission and 182 (53.7%) underwent surgery during TICU admission. Some patients were admitted to neurosurgery (46%), general surgery (35.4%), and other (18.6%) departments. There were significant differences in the ISS, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score, shock on TICU admission, and initial laboratory results. After propensity score matching, the total delivered/required caloric ratio and total delivered/required protein ratio were significantly higher in the NST group than in the non-NST group (calorie: 80.4% vs. 66.7%, P=0.007; protein: 93.1% vs. 68.3%, P<0.001). The NST group had an adequate protein supply more frequently than the non-NST group (protein: 48.0% vs. 25.8%, P=0.002). There was no significant difference in survival, even after adjustment for risk factors using Cox proportional hazard analysis. CONCLUSIONS The results of our study suggest that multidisciplinary team involvement in nutrition support in TICU patients may improve nutritional, but not clinical, outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to identify trauma patients who would benefit from surgical placement of an enteral feeding tube during their index abdominal trauma operation. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients admitted to 2 level I trauma centers between January 2013 and February 2018 requiring urgent exploratory abdominal surgery. RESULTS Six-hundred and one patients required exploratory abdominal surgery within 24 hours of admission after trauma activation. Nineteen (3% of total) patients underwent placement of a feeding tube after their initial exploratory surgery. On multivariate analysis, an intracranial Abbreviated Injury Scale ≥4 (odds ratio [OR] = 9.24, 95% CI 1.09-78.26, P = .04) and a Glasgow Coma Scale ≤8 (OR = 4.39, 95% CI 1.38-13.95, P = .01) were associated with increased odds of requiring a feeding tube. All patients who required a feeding tube had an Injury Severity Score ≥15. While not statistically significant, patients with an open surgical feeding tube compared with interventional radiology/percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placement had lower median intensive care unit length of stay, fewer ventilator days, and shorter median total hospital length of stay. CONCLUSIONS Trauma patients with severe intracranial injury already requiring urgent exploratory abdominal surgery may benefit from early, concomitant placement of a feeding tube during the index abdominal operation, or at fascial closure.

Abstract
Nutrition plays a vital role in health and the recovery process. Deficiencies in macronutrients and micronutrients can impact the development and progression of various disorders. However, malnutrition screening tools and their utility in the clinical setting remain largely understudied. In this study, we summarize the importance of nutritional adequacy and its association with neurological, cardiovascular, and immune-related disorders. We also examine general and specific malnutrition assessment tools utilized in healthcare settings. Since the implementation of the screening process in 2016, malnutrition data from hospitalized patients in the Geisinger Health System is presented and discussed as a case study. Clinical data from five Geisinger hospitals shows that ~10% of all admitted patients are acknowledged for having some form of nutritional deficiency, from which about 60-80% of the patients are targeted for a more comprehensive assessment. Finally, we conclude that with a reflection on how technological advances, specifically machine learning-based algorithms, can be integrated into electronic health records to provide decision support system to care providers in the identification and management of patients at higher risk of malnutrition.

Abstract
Aim To assess the feasibility, tolerance and effectiveness of enteral nutrition in critically ill patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in the prone position for severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Methods Prospective observational study conducted in a multidisciplinary critical care unit of a tertiary care hospital from January 2013 until July 2015. All patients with ARDS who received invasive mechanical ventilation in prone position during the study period were included. Patients' demographics, severity of illness (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) score), baseline markers of nutritional status (subjective global assessment (SGA) and body mass index), details of nutrition delivery during prone and supine hours and outcomes (Length of stay and discharge status) were recorded. Results Fifty-one patients met inclusion criteria out of whom four patients were excluded from analysis since they did not receive any enteral nutrition due to severe hemodynamic instability. The mean age of patients was 46.4 ± 12.9 years, with male:female ratio of 7:3. On admission, SGA revealed moderate malnutrition in 51% of patients and the mean APACHE II score was 26.8 ± 9.2. The average duration of prone ventilation per patient was 60.2 ± 30.7 h. All patients received continuous nasogastric/orogastric feeds. The mean calories (kcal/kg/day) and protein (g/kg/day) prescribed in the supine position were 24.5 ± 3.8 and 1.1 ± 0.2 while the mean calories and protein prescribed in prone position were 23.5 ± 3.6 and 1.1 ± 0.2, respectively. Percentage of prescribed calories received by patients in supine position was similar to that in prone position (83.2% vs. 79.6%; P = 0.12). Patients received a higher percentage of prescribed protein in supine compared to prone position (80.8% vs. 75%, P = 0.02). The proportion of patients who received at least 75% of the caloric and protein goals was 37 (78.7%) and 37 (78.7%) in supine and 32 (68.1%) and 21 (44.6%) in prone position. Conclusion In critically ill patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in the prone position, enteral nutrition with nasogastric/orogastric feeding is feasible and well tolerated. Nutritional delivery of calories and proteins in prone position is comparable to that in supine position.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-output double enterostomies (DESs) and enteroatmospheric fistulas (EAFs) of the small bowel account for substantial patient morbidity and mortality. Management may include parenteral nutrition (PN) and prolonged admissions, at high cost. Reinfusion of chyme into the distal bowel is a proposed therapeutic alternative when the distal DES limb is accessible; however, standardized information on this technique is required. This review aimed to critically assess the literature regarding chyme reinfusion (CR) to define its current status and future directions. METHODS A systematic search of medical databases was conducted for articles investigating CR in adults. Articles reporting indications, methods, benefits, technical issues, and complications resulting from CR were reviewed. A narrative synthesis of the retrieved data was undertaken. RESULTS In total, 24 articles reporting 481 cases of CR were identified, although articles were heterogeneous in their structure and reporting. CR was most frequently performed for remediation of high-output DES and intestinal failure and for proximally located DES. Effluent output collection was commonly manual, with distal reinfusion more commonly automated, and with few dedicated systems. Multiple benefits attributed to CR were reported, encompassing weight gain, cessation of PN, and improvements in liver function. Technical problems included distaste, labor-intensive methods, reflux of contents, and tube dislodgement. No serious AEs or mortality directly attributable to CR were reported. CONCLUSIONS CR appears to be a promising, safe and well-validated intervention for small bowel DES and EAF. However, more efficient and acceptable methods are required to promote greater adoption of the practice of CR.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the major reasons of mortality in the worldwide. There is clear evidence that some amino acids such as arginine can improve CRC and its complications. Hence, in this systematic review we evaluated the association between arginine intake and CRC improvement. We searched the PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar databases by using proper keywords to find the relevant literatures, published to March 2019. Nine human studies of 523 screened articles were included in present systematic review. The majority of studies have found a positive association between consumption of arginine and CRC improvement. Increased inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase expression and subsequently increasing the NO concentration in the tumor and/or serum, after arginine intake may be responsible for these protective effects. Also, arginine consumption may reduce cell proliferation in CRC and it can enhance immune function after remove the tumor. Although the benefits of arginine consumption in CRC patients were reported in previous trials, the finding need replication in well-designed studies before final conclusion.

Abstract
The efficacy of early enteral nutrition after esophageal cancer surgery has been reported. However, the choice of formula and management of diarrhea are important to achieve the goal of enhanced recovery after surgery. The aim of this study is to assess the frequency of diarrhea/completion rate of enteral nutrition regimen as primary endpoints and the postoperative nutritional status/body composition analysis/operative morbidity as secondary endpoints was compared between the two nutrition groups. Among the 122 patients who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal cancer between December 2015 and September 2017, 67 patients who met the eligibility criteria were randomly assigned to receive enteral nutrition with either HINE E-GEL® (HINE group; n = 33) or MEIN® (MEIN group; n = 34). The incidence of diarrhea was significantly lower in the HINE group (18.2 % vs. 64.7 %, P < 0.001). The score of Bristol scale of POD 6/7 was significantly lower in the HINE group (P = 0.019/P = 0.006, respectively). The completion rate of enteral nutrition regimen was significantly higher in the HINE group (97.4 % vs. 86.6 %, P = 0.002). The Controlling Nutritional Status scores and total protein levels at 6 months after surgery were significantly better in the HINE group (P = 0.030 and P = 0.023, respectively), indicating improved tendency in nutritional status in the HINE group. However, there were no significant differences in Prognostic Nutritional Index values, blood test results, rapid turnover proteins, body mass index, or body composition between the two groups. HINE E-GEL compared with MEIN may reduce the frequency of diarrhea, enabling patients to adhere to the scheduled enteral nutrition plan. Also, maintenance of nutritional status with HINE E-GEL was comparable or potentially better in some nutrition components to that with MEIN, indicating that HINE E-GEL can be an option for enteral nutrition following esophageal surgery to achieve the goal of successful completion of scheduled enteral nutrition and smooth transition to the normal diet.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The indications for surgical feeding tube (SFT) placement in trauma patients are poorly defined. Patient selection is critical as complications from SFTs have been reported in up to 70% of patients. A previous analysis by our group determined that 25% of the SFTs we placed were unnecessary and that older patients, patients with head and spinal cord injuries, and patients who needed a tracheostomy were more likely to require long-term SFTs. Following this study, we modified our institutional guidelines for SFT placement. We hypothesized that a more selective placement strategy would result in fewer unnecessary SFTs. METHODS A retrospective review of all adult patients from 2012 to 2016 with an intensive care unit length of stay longer than 4 days and an SFT placed during admission was conducted. This group was compared to data collected prior to our change in practice (2007-2010). Data from 2011 were excluded as a washout period. "Necessary" SFT use was defined per established guidelines as either daily use of the SFT through discharge or for 28 days or longer and "unnecessary" SFT use as all others. RESULTS Two hundred fifty-seven SFTs were placed from 2007 to 2010 and 244 from 2012 to 2016. Following implementation of our selective SFT placement strategy, unnecessary SFT placement decreased from 25% in 2007 to 2010 to 8% in 2012 to 2016 (p < 0.0001). Significant predictors of necessary SFT placement by univariate regression were as follows: increasing age (odds ratio [OR] 1.03/year; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.04), head injury (OR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.71-4.60), cervical spinal cord injury (OR, 4.42; 95% CI, 1.34-14.50), and need for tracheostomy (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 2.21-7.67). The overall complication rate was 11% (9% in the selective group vs. 13% in the preselective group, p = 0.2574) and was highest following open SFT placement (22%). CONCLUSION A selective placement strategy for SFTs in our trauma population resulted in fewer unnecessary SFTs and a trend toward fewer complications. Surgical feeding tubes should be placed through a percutaneous approach whenever possible. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic study, level IV.

Abstract
Malnutrition is frequently seen among patients in the intensive care unit. Evidence shows that optimal nutritional support can lead to better clinical outcomes. Recent clinical trials debate over the efficacy of enteral nutrition (EN) over parenteral nutrition (PN). Multiple trials have studied the impact of EN versus PN in terms of health-care cost and clinical outcomes (including functional status, cost, infectious complications, mortality risk, length of hospital and intensive care unit stay, and mechanical ventilation duration). The aim of this review is to address the question: In critically ill adult patients requiring nutrition support, does EN compared to PN favorably impact clinical outcomes and health-care costs?

The primary outcome was mortality, the secondary outcomes were gastrointestinal complications, bloodstream infections, organ failures, length of stay in ICU and hospital. We performed a predefined subgroup analyses to explore the treatment effect by mean age, publication date and disease types. MAIN RESULTS The result showed no significant effect on overall mortality rate (OR 0.98, 95%CI 0.81 to 1.18, P = 0.83, I2 = 19%) and organ failure rate (OR 0.87, 95%CI 0.75 to 1.01, P = 0.06, I2 = 16%). The use of EN had more beneficial effects with fewer bloodstream infections when compared to PN (OR 0.59, 95%CI 0.43 to 0.82, P = 0.001, I2 = 27%) and this was more noteworthy in the subgroup analysis for critical surgical patients (OR 0.36, 95%CI 0.22 to 0.59, P < 0.0001, I2 = 0%). EN was associated with reduction in hospital LOS (MD -0.90, 95%CI -1.63 to -0.17, P = 0.21, I2 = 0%) but had an increase incidence of gastrointestinal complications (OR 2.00, 95%CI 1.76 to 2.27, P < 0.00001, I2 = 0%). CONCLUSION For critically ill patients, the two routes of nutrition support had no different effect on mortality rate. The use of EN could decrease the incidence of bloodstream infections and reduce hospital LOS but was associated with increased risk of gastrointestinal complications.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of the current study was to report the surgical outcome and complications of jejunostomy with enteroenterostomy for enteral nutrition (EN) in critically ill trauma patients with prolonged nasogastric (NG) nutrition. Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out in a level I trauma center in Shiraz, southern Iran during a one-year period from 2016 to 2017. We included a total number of 30 patients with severe trauma admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with more than three months NG nutrition and bowel atrophy. We performed a novel jejunostomy with an enteroenterostomy procedure for providing a route for enteral nutrition in all 30 patients. The rate of complications, such as dislodgement, clogging, obstruction, leakage, mucosal bleeding, and infection, were recorded and reported. We also recorded the hospital and ICU length of stay (LOS). Results We included a total number of 30 patients with a mean age of 35.64 ± 8.91 years, and there were 23 (76.6%) men and seven (23.4%) women among the patients. Overall, 14 (46.6%) patients experienced complications related to the jejunostomy with enteroenterostomy. The most common complication was nausea and vomiting (33.3%) and distention (33.3%), followed by surgical site infection (30.0%). The mean ICU LOS and hospital LOS was found to be 16.8 ± 3.7 and 24.3 ± 4.1 days, respectively. The overall mortality rate was 17 (56.6%), which was secondary to the primary injury and was not related to the procedure. Conclusion Jejunostomy with enteroenterostomy is a safe and feasible method for providing a route for EN in critically ill trauma patients with prolonged NG nutrition and bowel atrophy.

Abstract
Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who develop chronic critical illness significantly stress the clinical capacity and financial resources of healthcare systems. Although vast improvements have been made in critical care management, outcomes for this ICU subset remain poor. A hallmark for patients who progress to chronic critical illness is the development of persistent inflammation and immunosuppression. The risk factors associated with the development of chronic critical illness include increased age, medical comorbidities, severe injury, septic shock, and malnutrition. Interestingly, each of these clinical states bears strikingly similar immune defects, often resulting in the activation of a persistent inflammatory state. Strategies aimed at the prevention or early recognition of this state of immune compromise may help improve outcomes for these individuals and minimize the number who progress to chronic critical illness. This review explores the current knowledge regarding the immune defects associated with the development of persistent inflammation, the ways in which it can manifest clinically, attempted therapeutic interventions to date, and future insights into improving outcomes for this patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimising nutrition support in critically ill patients with an open abdomen is challenging. OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to (i) quantify the amount and adequacy of nutrition support administered and (ii) determine any relationships that exist between mode of nutrition support delivery and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with an open abdomen. METHODS A retrospective review of critically ill patients mechanically ventilated for at least 48 h with an open abdomen in a mixed quaternary referral intensive care unit. Enteral and parenteral nutrition (ml) administered daily to patients was recorded for up to 21 days. Length of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital and duration of mechanical ventilation (days) were reported. RESULTS Thirty patients were studied [14 male, 68 y (15-90 y), body mass index 25 kg/m2 (11-51 kg/m2), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score 20 (7-41), energy goal 1860 kcal/d (1250-2712 kcal/d)]. Patients received 55% (0-117%) of energy goal and 56% (0-105%) protein goal from either enteral or parenteral nutrition. When enteral nutrition was delivered alone or in combination with parenteral nutrition, patients received 48% (0-146%) of their energy and 59% (19-105%) of their protein goal. Patients fed parenteral nutrition, either alone or as supplementary to enteral nutrition (n = 18), received more energy when compared with those who only received enteral nutrition (n = 9) [65 (27-117) vs 49 (15-89) % energy goal, P = 0.025]. Parenteral nutrition was associated with an increased length of stay in hospital [63 (45-156) vs 45 (17-93) d, P = 0.037]. CONCLUSION Patients with an open abdomen receive about half of their nutrition requirements when fed exclusively via the enteral route. Providing combination enteral and parenteral nutrition to reach nutritional goals may not result in better clinical outcomes for patients with an open abdomen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Critically ill people are at increased risk of malnutrition. Acute and chronic illness, trauma and inflammation induce stress-related catabolism, and drug-induced adverse effects may reduce appetite or increase nausea and vomiting. In addition, patient management in the intensive care unit (ICU) may also interrupt feeding routines. Methods to deliver nutritional requirements include provision of enteral nutrition (EN), or parenteral nutrition (PN), or a combination of both (EN and PN). However, each method is problematic. This review aimed to determine the route of delivery that optimizes uptake of nutrition. OBJECTIVES To compare the effects of enteral versus parenteral methods of nutrition, and the effects of enteral versus a combination of enteral and parenteral methods of nutrition, among critically ill adults, in terms of mortality, number of ICU-free days up to day 28, and adverse events. SEARCH METHODS We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, and Embase on 3 October 2017. We searched clinical trials registries and grey literature, and handsearched reference lists of included studies and related reviews. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomized controlled studies (RCTs) and quasi-randomized studies comparing EN given to adults in the ICU versus PN or versus EN and PN. We included participants that were trauma, emergency, and postsurgical patients in the ICU. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed studies for inclusion, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. We assessed the certainty of evidence with GRADE. MAIN RESULTS We included 25 studies with 8816 participants; 23 studies were RCTs and two were quasi-randomized studies. All included participants were critically ill in the ICU with a wide range of diagnoses; mechanical ventilation status between study participants varied. We identified 11 studies awaiting classification for which we were unable to assess eligibility, and two ongoing studies.Seventeen studies compared EN versus PN, six compared EN versus EN and PN, two were multi-arm studies comparing EN versus PN versus EN and PN. Most studies reported randomization and allocation concealment inadequately. Most studies reported no methods to blind personnel or outcome assessors to nutrition groups; one study used adequate methods to reduce risk of performance bias.Enteral nutrition versus parenteral nutritionWe found that one feeding route rather than the other (EN or PN) may make little or no difference to mortality in hospital (risk ratio (RR) 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.80 to 1.77; 361 participants; 6 studies; low-certainty evidence), or mortality within 30 days (RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.92 to 1.13; 3148 participants; 11 studies; low-certainty evidence). It is uncertain whether one feeding route rather than the other reduces mortality within 90 days because the certainty of the evidence is very low (RR 1.06, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.17; 2461 participants; 3 studies). One study reported mortality at one to four months and we did not combine this in the analysis; we reported this data as mortality within 180 days and it is uncertain whether EN or PN affects the number of deaths within 180 days because the certainty of the evidence is very low (RR 0.33, 95% CI 0.04 to 2.97; 46 participants).No studies reported number of ICU-free days up to day 28, and one study reported number of ventilator-free days up to day 28 and it is uncertain whether one feeding route rather than the other reduces the number of ventilator-free days up to day 28 because the certainty of the evidence is very low (mean difference, inverse variance, 0.00, 95% CI -0.97 to 0.97; 2388 participants).We combined data for adverse events reported by more than one study. It is uncertain whether EN or PN affects aspiration because the certainty of the evidence is very low (RR 1.53, 95% CI 0.46 to 5.03; 2437 participants; 2 studies), and we found that one feeding route rather than the other may make little or no difference to pneumonia (RR 1.10, 95% CI 0.82 to 1.48; 415 participants; 7 studies; low-certainty evidence). We found that EN may reduce sepsis (RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.95; 361 participants; 7 studies; low-certainty evidence), and it is uncertain whether PN reduces vomiting because the certainty of the evidence is very low (RR 3.42, 95% CI 1.15 to 10.16; 2525 participants; 3 studies).Enteral nutrition versus enteral nutrition and parenteral nutritionWe found that one feeding regimen rather than another (EN or combined EN or PN) may make little or no difference to mortality in hospital (RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.84 to 1.16; 5111 participants; 5 studies; low-certainty evidence), and at 90 days (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.86 to 1.18; 4760 participants; 2 studies; low-certainty evidence). It is uncertain whether combined EN and PN leads to fewer deaths at 30 days because the certainty of the evidence is very low (RR 1.64, 95% CI 1.06 to 2.54; 409 participants; 3 studies). It is uncertain whether one feeding regimen rather than another reduces mortality within 180 days because the certainty of the evidence is very low (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.55; 120 participants; 1 study).No studies reported number of ICU-free days or ventilator-free days up to day 28. It is uncertain whether either feeding method reduces pneumonia because the certainty of the evidence is very low (RR 1.40, 95% CI 0.91 to 2.15; 205 participants; 2 studies). No studies reported aspiration, sepsis, or vomiting. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS We found insufficient evidence to determine whether EN is better or worse than PN, or than combined EN and PN for mortality in hospital, at 90 days and at 180 days, and on the number of ventilator-free days and adverse events. We found fewer deaths at 30 days when studies gave combined EN and PN, and reduced sepsis for EN rather than PN. We found no studies that reported number of ICU-free days up to day 28. Certainty of the evidence for all outcomes is either low or very low. The 11 studies awaiting classification may alter the conclusions of the review once assessed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Critically ill surgical patients often receive inadequate enteral nutrition using traditional rate-based feeding methods. An alternative strategy is volume-based feeding, in which feeding rates are adjusted to deliver a goal volume per day. METHODS This prospective quality improvement study in a single surgical, trauma, and burn ICU compared volume-based feeding to rate-based feeding in a before-and-after design. Outcomes included calories and protein delivered, length of stay, infection, and mortality. RESULTS A total of 50 patients received volume-based feeding and 49 rate-based feeding. The volume-based group received a higher proportion of goal calories (84.5% vs. 73.4%; p = 0.005) and protein (86.2% vs. 77.4%; p = 0.01), as well as increased total daily calories (1604 vs. 1356 kcal; p = 0.02). There was no difference in length of stay, mortality, aspiration, or gastrointestinal intolerance. CONCLUSIONS Volume-based feeding improved nutritional intake in critically ill surgical patients, although this study was underpowered to determine differences in clinical outcomes.
