The webcast was held on Thursday, November 17, 2011

Program Overview

ICU nutrition, like other care modalities in the ICU, is an ever-changing target.  There is no question that enteral nutrition should be used preferentially over parenteral nutrition when possible, it’s what to do when the “not possible” occurs.  When should parenteral nutrition be started?  If full enteral nutrition cannot be tolerated, is a trophic amount still beneficial?  Will underfeeding of enteral nutrition positively or negatively affect clinical outcomes?  Are the current guidelines still up-to-date?  These questions and others will be answered in this upcoming webinar!

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this webcast participants will be able to:

1. Discuss  optimal timing of parenteral nutrition in ICU patients
2. Understand potential risks/benefits of trickle vs. full enteral feeds
3. Review hot topics in ICU nutrition and how they may impact present guidelines
