NIBBLE Issue 7: Trophic Feeds in All ICU Patients with Acute Lung Injury? No! Read on...

[Lauren]

Nutrition Information Bytes (NIBBLEs) are one-page articles are
designed to educate individuals on hot topics in nutrition. The latest
issue of the NIBBLE discusses the question of whether or not all ICU
patients with acute lung injury should receive trophic feeds. You can
download the pdf version of this NIBBLE by clicking on the following

You can also view all the past issues of our NIBBLEs here:

We encourage you to distribute these NIBBLES in your ICU to increase
awareness about these important nutrition topics! Also, if you have
ideas for topics you'd like discussed in a NIBBLE, please feel free to
let us know.

Also, as discussed in the latest NIBBLE, we are working on developing
‘tools’ to enable beside practitioners to be measure nutrition risk,
detect cumulating calorie (and protein debt) in patients with high
risk, and prompt intervention in such high risk patients. If you are
interested to participate in this line of research or learn more about
it, please see the following link:
