GOAL

Increasing data on the provision of protein continues to inform clinical practice with demonstrated benefits on clinical outcomes. However, clinical decisions are challenged by varying effects across patient subpopulations and a lack of clinical data, translating into variations in the delivery of protein and a failure to achieve protein requirements. This activity will provide the nutrition support team with up-to-date knowledge on the latest clinical data, new protein formulations, and practical application in diverse patients to reduce malnutrition, morbidity, and mortality in hospital settings.

  1. How important is meeting protein requirements?
  2. Tailored and optimized protein delivery
  3. Implementing advances in PN to achieve protein targets

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Outline available guideline recommendations from ASPEN/SCCM and ESPEN and their application in the provision of protein during critical illness
  • Interpret available data on low vs. high protein administration across diverse patient populations
  • Discuss how advances in parenteral nutrition products facilitate delivery of adequate protein
  • Compare and contrast available and emerging high-protein/energy-restricted parenteral nutrition products
