Nutrition in critical Care
Nutrition plays a crucial role in the treatment of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), as these patients are susceptible to malnutrition because of their dire situation, the requirement for mechanical ventilation, several procedures, and medications. In this consultation, experts will discuss the benefits and limitations of parenteral and enteral vitamins in critical care, emphasizing potential dangers such as gastrointestinal intolerance, metabolic issues, and infections. Current studies are also examining the use of fecal microbiota transplantation, probiotics, and prebiotics in patients who are seriously ill.
