The bipartite relationship between nutrition and the intestinal microbiome represents an exciting frontier in critical care medicine. In this review, the authors first address these topics independently, leading with a summary of recent clinical studies assessing intensive care unit nutritional strategies, followed by an exploration of the microbiome in the context of perioperative and intensive care, including recent clinical data implicating microbial dysbiosis as a key driver of clinical outcomes. Finally, the authors address the intersection of nutrition and the microbiome, exploring the use of supplemental pre-, pro-, and synbiotics to influence microbial composition and improve outcomes in critically ill and postsurgical patients.

Background: Although technology is rapidly advancing in immersive virtual reality (VR) simulation, there is a paucity of literature to guide its implementation into health professions education, and there are no described best practices for the development of this evolving technology.

Objective: We conducted a qualitative study using semistructured interviews with early adopters of immersive VR simulation technology to investigate use and motivations behind using this technology in educational practice, and to identify the educational needs that this technology can address.

Methods: We conducted 16 interviews with VR early adopters.

Background: Critically ill children are at risk for subtherapeutic antibiotic concentrations. The frequency of target attainment and risk factors for subtherapeutic concentrations of cefepime in children have not been extensively studied.

Methods: We performed an observational study in critically ill children receiving a new prescription of standard dosing of cefepime for suspected sepsis (≥2 systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria within 48 hours of cefepime start).
