Nutrition Intake

Background : Critically Ill patients with high nutrition risk require optimal amount of nutrition therapy for a better clinical outcome.Objective : The objective of this study was to study EN feeding adequacy among mechanically ventilated critically ill patient with high nutrition risk.Method : A prospective observational study was carried out at General Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Hospital Serdang. Adult patients (? 18 years old) who were intubated and mechanically ventilated within 48 hours of ICU admission, stayed in ICU for ? 72 hours and exclusively fed with EN were included. Eligible patients were followed in ICU for a maximum of 12 days or until death or discharge from ICU. High nutrition risk is determined by a validated nutrition risk screening tool -- the Modified Nutrition Risk in the Critically Ill (NUTRIC) score of ? 6.Results : A total of 25 patients were sampled. Mean age was 53 ± 17 years and mean BMI was 26.3 ± 5.3 kg/m2. Median time of EN initiation since ICU admission was 8 (Interquartile range [IQR] 3.5-17.5) hours. Among 17 (68%) patients with high nutrition risk, 15 (88.2%) did not receive the recommended optimal nutrition requirement (? 80% of calculated energy and protein requirement), despite the fact that the overall energy and protein adequacy was 71.8 ± 14.8% and 62.4 ± 15.1%, performing better than the international average of 61.2 ± 29.4% and 57.6% ± 29.6%, respectively.Conclusion : EN feeding adequacy was suboptimal among critically ill patients with high nutrition risk, as evidenced by 88.2% of high nutrition risk patients not receiving the recommended energy and protein requirement. Identification of patients with high nutrition risk is important to optimize nutrition intake in patients most likely to benefit from optimal amounts of nutrition therapy.Bangladesh Crit Care J March 2016; 4 (1): 9-13

AbstractPatient–ventilator asynchrony (PVA) is commonly encountered during mechanical ventilation of critically ill patients. Estimates of PVA incidence vary widely. Type, risk factors, and consequences of PVA remain unclear. We aimed to measure the incidence and identify types of PVA, characterize risk factors for development, and explore the relationship between PVA and outcome among critically ill, mechanically ventilated adult patients admitted to medical, surgical, and medical-surgical intensive care units in a large academic institution staffed with varying provider training background. A single center, retrospective cohort study of all adult critically ill patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation for ≥ 12 h. A total of 676 patients who underwent 696 episodes of mechanical ventilation were included. Overall PVA occurred in 170 (24%) episodes. Double triggering 92(13%) was most common, followed by flow starvation 73(10%). A history of smoking, and pneumonia, sepsis, or ARDS were risk factors for overall PVA and double triggering (all P < 0.05). Compared with volume targeted ventilation, pressure targeted ventilation decreased the occurrence of events (all P < 0.01). During volume controlled synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation and pressure targeted ventilation, ventilator settings were associated with the incidence of overall PVA. The number of overall PVA, as well as double triggering and flow starvation specifically, were associated with worse outcomes and fewer hospital-free days (all P < 0.01). Double triggering and flow starvation are the most common PVA among critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients. Overall incidence as well as double triggering and flow starvation PVA specifically, portend worse outcome.

Abstract Background Analgesia and sedation therapy are commonly used for critically ill patients, especially mechanically ventilated patients. From the initial nonsedation programs to deep sedation and then to on-demand sedation, the understanding of sedation therapy continues to deepen. However, according to different patient’s condition, understanding the individual patient’s depth of sedation needs remains unclear. Methods The public open source critical illness database Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III was used in this study. Latent profile analysis was used as a clustering method to classify mechanically ventilated patients based on 36 variables. Principal component analysis dimensionality reduction was used to select the most influential variables. The ROC curve was used to evaluate the classification accuracy of the model. Results Based on 36 characteristic variables, we divided patients undergoing mechanical ventilation and sedation and analgesia into two categories with different mortality rates, then further reduced the dimensionality of the data and obtained the 9 variables that had the greatest impact on classification, most of which were ventilator parameters. According to the Richmond-ASS scores, the two phenotypes of patients had different degrees of sedation and analgesia, and the corresponding ventilator parameters were also significantly different. We divided the validation cohort into three different levels of sedation, revealing that patients with high ventilator conditions needed a deeper level of sedation, while patients with low ventilator conditions required reduction in the depth of sedation as soon as possible to promote recovery and avoid reinjury. Conclusion Through latent profile analysis and dimensionality reduction, we divided patients treated with mechanical ventilation and sedation and analgesia into two categories with different mortalities and obtained 9 variables that had the greatest impact on classification, which revealed that the depth of sedation was limited by the condition of the respiratory system.

Trophic Feeding

Although energy intake might be associated with clinical outcomes in critically ill patients, it remains unclear whether full or trophic feeding is suitable for critically ill patients with high or low nutrition risk. We conducted a prospective study to determine which feeding energy intakes were associated with clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with high or low nutrition risk. This was an investigator-initiated, single center, single blind, randomized controlled trial. Critically ill patients were allocated to either high or low nutrition risk based on their Nutrition Risk in the Critically Ill score, and then randomized to receive either the full or the trophic feeding. The feeding procedure was administered for six days. No significant differences were observed in hospital, 14-day and 28-day mortalities, the length of ventilator dependency, or ICU and hospital stay among the four groups. There were no associations between energy and protein intakes and hospital, 14-day and 28-day mortalities in any of the four groups. However, protein intake was positively associated with the length of hospital stay and ventilator dependency in patients with low nutrition risk receiving trophic feeding. Full or trophic feeding in critically ill patients showed no associations with clinical outcomes, regardless of nutrition risk.
