Article Synopsis
- Cardiac surgery patients in ICU are at high risk for malnutrition, prompting a study to examine current nutrition practices worldwide for these patients.* -
- The study analyzed 237 patients, finding that enteral nutrition (EN) was typically started 45 hours post-admission, with a significant percentage receiving less than half of the prescribed energy and protein.* -
- Results indicate that while there are delays in EN initiation and inadequate nutritional delivery, improving nutritional care is feasible through better practices across different ICU sites.*
Advanced heart failure continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality despite improvements in pharmacologic therapy. High demand for cardiac transplantation and shortage of donor organs have led to an increase in the utilization of mechanical circulatory support devices. The total artificial heart is an effective biventricular assist device that may be used as a bridge to transplant and that is being studied for destination therapy.
