Patients admitted to the ICU with COVID-19 are at high nutritional risk due to their presenting condition and the intensive care management strategies required to treat the disease.
In this free webinar, organised by the ESICM Metabolism, Endocrinology & Nutrition (MEN) Section, our expert panel will discuss the current evidence of medical nutrition therapy, especially in COVID-19 patients requiring NIV or ECMO.
Learning Outcomes:
By reviewing evidence and current recommendations, you will learn more about:
• how Bioelectric Impedance Assessment (BIA) works, as well as its potential and pitfalls in treating critical illness
• evaluating energy expenditure to guide macronutrient intake
• how to "best" feed critically ill COVID-19 patients requiring NIV or ECMO in terms of safety and efficacy
