5/9/2015  NO DISCLOSURES Annette Stralovich-Romani, RD, CNSC Adult Critical Care Nutritionist UCSF Medical Center  Incidence & consequences of malnutrition  On hospital admission: 30-50%  On ICU admission: 50-55%  Underfeeding in the ICU ◦ Causes/ consequences  Malnutrition contributes to: ◦ Increased morbidity & mortality  Nutrition intervention ◦ Decreased function & quality of life ◦ What is the optimal amount of calories/protein in the ◦ Increased frequency and length of hospital stay critically ill patient? ◦ Higher healthcare cost  Strategies for improving enteral nutrient delivery  Nutritional status declines with length of stay  Early identification & intervention can lead to cost- effective and beneficial outcomes 1

5/9/2015  Preexisting malnutrition / nutritional compromise  Prevalence: 40-50% of prescribed EN received in  Admission to hospital / ICU the first 2 weeks after ICU admission  Stress / Inflammation  Causes: ◦ Hormonal Response: Catecholamines, glucagon, cortisol ◦ Humeral Response: Cytokines (TNF, IL-1, IL-6) ◦ GI Symptoms  Hypermetabolism (increased energy expenditure) ◦ Underestimating nutrient needs (energy/protein)  Accelerated proteolysis (LBM breakdown) ◦ Feeding tube displacement / replacement  Insulin resistance ◦ Prematurely discontinuing EN  Nosocomial infections ◦ Delayed administration ◦ VAP, C.Difficile, Central line infection ◦ Low volume TF infusion (trophic feeding) ◦ Interruptions in TF administration (avoidable vs.  UNDERFEEDING unavoidable)  Prospective, observational study Unavoidable Avoidable  Characterize EN interruptions (avoidable vs. unavoidable) & • IR or surgical procedures 26% • PEG placement ✓ determine impact on caloric deficits between patients (if controlled airway & patient • IR or surgical procedures in supine position ) ◦ Group 1: > 1 EN interruption (if no controlled airway or ◦ Group 2: No interruptions • GRV < 500 mL patient not in supine position 74%  94 SICU patients (mean age 63yo, 71% male) • GI bleed • Imaging studies ( when radiologist did not request patient to be fasted) ✓  Gastric feeding • Reintubation/extubation ✓  TF held for GRV > 500mL • GRV > 500mL • Tracheostomy ✓  Primary outcome: percentage of unavoidable interruptions • GI surgery  Secondary outcomes: 30-day mortality, surgical ICU LOS, hospital LOS, VFDs and total complications per patient Transient interruptions (lasting ten minutes or less) were not considered.

5/9/2015 Early Enteral Nutrition(24-48 hours)  RESULTS ◦ Group 1 compared to Group 2:  Accumulated double caloric deficit Gastric Feeding  Additional 1.5 days in ICU, 8 days longer in hospital • No difference in aspiration risk between gastric vs. small NO statistical difference in 30-day VFDs, bowel feeding in-hospital mortality, 30-day mortality 30 day • GRV threshold (250-500 mL) BOTTOM LINE: Focus should be on how Aim for Goal Volume Feeding to MAXIMIZE nutrient delivery rather than trying to eradicate interruptions. Canadian Critical Care Clinical Yeh, DD et al. JPEN. 2015 Nutrition Practice Guidelines 2013 www.criticalcarenutrition.com.  Optimal amount of energy and protein required to reduce morbidity and mortality is controversial  Few observational studies have shown permissive underfeeding resulted in improved clinical outcomes compared to full feeding  Several large observational studies have shown a cumulative energy deficit or caloric debt is associated with adverse clinical outcomes 3

5/9/2015  3 prospective randomized studies (EDEN, Rice, Arabi)  Compared trophic to full feeding  SSC (Surviving Sepsis Campaign) recommends  Results: avoiding mandatory full caloric feeding and using low ◦ No difference in long-term outcome (28 day mortality) between dose EN the first week in the ICU two feeding strategies ◦ Reported more GI complications with the full EN feeding strategy ◦ Trend toward improved physical function in the full fed group  The 2013 Canadian Critical Care Nutrition Practice Guidelines (based on multiple randomized trials and  Recommend low dose EN for first week of ICU stay large scale observational studies) recommend:  Key Points:  Optimizing the dose of EN ◦ Relatively young (mean age = 52) No effect in young, healthy,   NOT use intentional underfeeding in those first 5 ◦ Few co-morbidities overweight patients who have short stays! ◦ Well-nourished (BMI 29-30) ICU days (all patients) ◦ Average duration of study intervention 5 days .  Prospective, multicenter observational study  Determine: ◦ Effect of energy & protein intake on outcome ◦ Whether patients with pre-existing malnutrition or lack of nutritional reserve benefit more from aggressive EN provision  2772 patients (158 ICU’s over 5 continents)  Included ventilated patients in ICU >72 hours  BMI used as marker of nutritional status prior to admission  Average daily nutrient intake: 1034 kcal; 47gm protein 4

Crit Care 2014  Objective: To examine the relationship between the amount of prescribed calories received and 60-day hospital mortality  Prospective, multi-institutional audit  352 ICUs (33 countries)  7872 mechanically ventilated patients (> 96 hrs in ICU) Heyland et al CCM, 2011 5

5/9/2015 RESULTS:  Optimal target = 80-85% of prescribed amount  (best clinical outcome)  No additional benefit attaining 100% prescribed amount  Conclusions: ◦ Regardless of BMI, practice of permissive underfeeding is not advised (including the obese critically ill) ◦ Recommended 80-85% target should be feasible goal for ALL ICUs world wide Heyland DK, et al. Crit Care Med . 2011 . Protein-Energy Provision via the Enteral Route in Critically Ill Patients (PEP up ) 1 • Designed by Heyland et al to “make up” for lost EN infusion time 1 • Shift from “traditional” rate -based to volume-based feeding approach • RN to adjust hourly rate to reach goal EN volume • Trial included 18 mixed med/surg ICUs (80-85% MICU) • Implementation of protocol resulted in increased calorie & protein delivery Feed Early Enteral Diet Adequately for Maximum Effect (FEED ME) 2 • Designed by Taylor et al 2 • Surgical / Trauma ICU patients • Modified version of PEP up • Protocol resulted in increased delivery of EN volume, calories & protein • No significant increases in GRV, emesis and only minimal increase in diarrhea 1.
