Objective: To describe the elaboration and validation of a protocol for administration of enteral nutrition.

Method: Validation study by consensus of experts conducted in a university hospital. The construction took place after literature review. The validation was guided by the tool: plan, do, study and act. For validation of the final protocol, 100% consensus was considered. After implementation, preceded by training, evaluation was carried out by using indicators.

Results: The protocol describes the actions that guide the nursing team in enteral nutrition. In the validation, there was a 100% consensus on the protocol items. The presential training brought together 425 participants in 80 meetings. After the pilot period, the rate of care for patients with enteral nutrition increased from 39.5% to 73.3%. There was a reduction of 41 hours in the time to release the X-ray report.

Conclusion: The protocol provided elements for the prevention of adverse events in patients with enteral nutrition.

The impact of a tailored nutrition intervention delivered for the duration of hospitalisation on daily energy delivery for patients with critical illness (INTENT): a phase II randomised controlled trial.

Crit Care

January 2025

Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Research Centre, School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Department of Epidemiology and Preventative Medicine, Monash University, 553 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.

Background: Nutrition interventions commenced in ICU and continued through to hospital discharge have not been definitively tested in critical care to date. To commence a program of research, we aimed to determine if a tailored nutrition intervention delivered for the duration of hospitalisation delivers more energy than usual care to patients initially admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Methods: A multicentre, unblinded, parallel-group, phase II trial was conducted in twenty-two hospitals in Australia and New Zealand.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to explain the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of malnutrition in hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), focusing on both adults and children.

Recent Findings: Malnutrition is common among IBD patients, affecting up to 85% of individuals, and is linked to higher rates of illness, death, and longer hospital stays. Recent studies highlight the importance of early detection using tools like the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and handgrip strength tests.

Background: Many nutrition risk screening tools include low body mass index (BMI). It remains uncertain whether it affects the validity of these tools in patients with overweight or obesity. We aimed to determine the frequency of malnutrition risk and evaluate its association with hospital length of stay in hospitalized adults according to BMI classification.
