NUTRITIONAL THERAPY IN CRITICAL ILL PATIENTS
However, significant barriers can impede the enteral administration of nutrients, including gastroduodenal dysfunction reflected by high gastric residual volumes, and diarrhoea and constipation.
Possible solutions are suggested. In case of contraindication or failure of enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition is indicated -----as a replacement or a supplement to failing enteral feeding.
The perfect timing of supplemental parenteral nutrition (early or late) remains uncertain, and parenteral nutrition should be carefully monitored

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) is probably the most widely used and cited standardized measure of symptoms and concerns characteristic of eating disorders . The original EAT appeared as a Current Contents Citation Classic in 1993. The 26-item version is highly reliable and valid according to Wikipedia. Many studies have used the EAT-26 as an economical first step in a two-stage screening process.

New Drug Discovery and Development .....NEHA GUPTA
The "New Drug Discovery and Development" process involves the identification, design, testing, and manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of introducing new and improved treatments for various medical conditions. This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
Basavarajeeyam is an important text for ayurvedic physician belonging to andhra pradehs. It is a popular compendium in various parts of our country as well as in andhra pradesh. The content of the text was presented in sanskrit and telugu language (Bilingual). One of the most famous book in ayurvedic pharmaceutics and therapeutics. This book contains 25 chapters called as prakaranas. Many rasaoushadis were explained, pioneer of dhatu druti, nadi pareeksha, mutra pareeksha etc. Belongs to the period of 15-16 century. New diseases like upadamsha, phiranga rogas are explained.
CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

incidence of underfeeding in the ICU
nutritional screening tools available for use in ICU
familiar with the novel approach used to assess the
nutritional risk of critically ill patients and implications
of this risk assessment for clinical practice
3. Does underfeeding in ICUs
exist?
Mean intake 56% International Nutrition Survey, n =211 ICUs
4. Purpose of Nutrition Screening
Predict the probability of a better or worse
outcome due to nutrition
SCREENING
Malnutrition
goes
undetected
6. Screening leads to Nutritional Care
Hospitals & healthcare organizations should have a policy and a
specific set of protocols for identifying patients at nutritional risk.
The following process is suggested:
Screening
Assessment
Monitoring & Outcome
Communication
Audit
Kondrup et al. Clin Nutr 22(4):415-421;2003.
7. • Underfeeding does occur in ICUs
• Malnutrition: 30% ICU patients (SGA)
• Existing tools for nutrition screening
8. Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST)

13. n = 124, mostly surgical patients
100% data available for SGA
SGA predicted mortality
14. Quantify Lean Muscle Mass: CT Scan
• Body composition tools:
– BIA, skin fold: low precision , DEXA: not specific, $$
• CTs becoming common research tool
– Measures tissue mass and changes over time

15. ICU patients are not all created equal…should we
expect the impact of nutrition therapy to be the
same across all patients?
16. Malnutrition should be diagnosed on the
basis of etiology…. inflammation acute vs
chronic
17. How do we figure out who will benefit
the most from Nutrition Therapy?

29. Summarize: NUTRIC Score
• NUTRIC Score (0-10) based on
– Age
– APACHE II
– SOFA
– # comorbidities
– Days in hospital pre ICU
– IL 6
• High NUTRIC Score associated worse outcomes
(mortality, ventilation)
• High NUTRIC Score benefit the most from nutrition
• Low NUTRIC Score : harmful?
30. Applications of NUTRIC Score
• Help determine which patients will benefit more from
nutrition
– Supplemental PN
– Aggressive feeding
– Small bowel feeding
• Design & interpretation of future studies
– Negative studies, non high risk, heterogenous patients
31. Limitations
• Applies only to macronutrients
• Does not apply to pharmaconutrients
• Nutritional history is suboptimal
• Requires IL-6
32.
33. Conclusion
• Iatrogenic underfeeding in ICUs exist
• Nutrition Screening/audits* detect underfeeding
• Existing Screening tools not helpful in ICU
• Not all ICU patients are the same in terms of ‘risk’
• NUTRIC Score is one way to quantify that risk and can
be used in your ICU
• Further refinement of this tool will ensure that the right
patient gets nutrition
- Several modalities have been used to study body composition – including BIA, skin-fold – most have poor precision – DXA – high precision, not as specific and not as accessible
CT imaging is becoming a common research tool - powerful in measuring different tissues and their changes over time
Malnutrition should be diagnosed on the basis of etiology…inflammation vs acute vs chronic
Need picture of malnourshed child
Linked starvation inflammation and nutritional status to outcomes
3 ICUs med/sx mix
Based on the conceptual model, we identified variables that predicted mortality. Looked at their affect by survivors vs non surviviors….validated the variables. ALL sign different hence predicted mortality EXCEPT BMI, CRP, oral intake and % wt loss
Variables on Vfdays…higher the age, lower the VFdays
Step 2:variables defined and validated, how to move to next stage:
Categorized the groups up and do regression analyses
Logistoc regression analyses qunitiles were compared to lowest risk (reference)
The parameters for each logistic regression model estimate the log of the odds ratio (logit) for each category (usually quintile) of the variable compared to the lowest risk (reference) category.
These parameters were rounded to whole numbers to provide the points used in the NUTRIC risk score. Equal point categories were collapsed, and the exact quintile ranges were subsequently rounded to convenient values.
Similary techniques were done for each of the variables
Further statisitcal modelling to see if the SCORING predicted mortality
Predicted and observed model
HIGHER SCORE = HIGHER MORTALITY
