Nutrition Practice in Critically Ill Adults

Nutrition Practice in Critically Ill Adults - an Observational Study

Sponsor

Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Research Centre

Enrollment

600 participants

Start Date

Aug 26, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Critical Illness

Summary

To determine the role of nutrition in recovery from critical illness, current practice must first be understood. However, no benchmarking process currently exists for nutrition practice during critical illness, from ICU admission to hospital discharge. This vital gap requires addressing. The aim of this study is to inform and re-design models of nutrition care and generate research priorities for the future by obtaining data on nutrition provision and practice and that of consumer preference for nutrition care.
