®

In the past 30 years, knowledge of the molecular and biological effects of nutrients in the care of complicated patients has grown exponentially. Traditional nutrition support has evolved into nutrition therapy in which the provision of nutrients can attenuate the metabolic response to stress. Professional organizations, including the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, the Society for Critical Care Medicine, and the Canadian group, Critical Care Nutrition have issued evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines for the management of nutrition therapy.

International surveys have identified substantial practice gaps in the delivery of nutrition, markers of nutrition, and standardization of the definitions used in discussing nutrition therapy in both anatomically as well as physiologically complicated patients.

All disciplines involved in caring for patients must have a solid understanding of the current literature as well as evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for providing nutrition therapy. Markers of nutritional status and standardization of definitions must be widely understood and shared. The limitations of frequently measured nutritional markers in the complicated medical and surgical patients must be appreciated if outcomes are to be meaningfully measured.

Defining malnourishment, gaining appropriate safe access whether it be enteral or parenteral, establishing nutritional goals using appropriate metrics is vital area of study in current literature. We must understand how these elements impact on our decision-making and ultimately the outcomes of our patients.
