Study Objective: To assess whether, in a lung resection cohort with a low probability of confounding by indication, higher FiO is associated with an increased risk of impaired postoperative oxygenation - a clinical manifestation of lung injury/dysfunction.
Design: Pre-specified registry-based retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Two large academic hospitals in the United States.
Article Synopsis
- * The article presents nine prevalent myths about ICU nutrition and recommends starting enteral feeding immediately upon ICU admission unless contraindicated, emphasizing early and adequate nutrition as vital for recovery.
- * It suggests that enteral nutrition should continue for most patients post-surgery and among those with severe conditions, as this can enhance recovery and reduce complications, especially prior to extubation.

Clinician-related factors such as fatigue, cognitive overload, and inexperience further interfere with effective decision-making.
