Experience in organizing a clinical nutrition and metabolism laboratory and creating a nutritional support system in the ICU and intensive care departments

Abstract

In the intensive care unit, along with other methods of intensive care, such as maintaining blood pressure, antibiotic therapy, mechanical ventilation, and vasopressors, clinical nutrition should always be present. Clinical nutrition is an integral part of the treatment process in the intensive care unit. A large number of publications concerning the prevention and treatment of intensive care outcome syndrome exist. One of the most important and low-cost strategies to prevent this condition is nutritional support for critically ill patients at all stages of curation, from the moment of admission to the intensive care unit to the end of the rehabilitation course. With the correct appointment of nutritional support, taking into account the indications and contraindications for various nosological forms, the advantages are obvious in the form of improved treatment outcomes. Proper organization of nutritional support in the hospital is the main key to success in early rehabilitation. From the understanding of nutritional support, its effectiveness will depend on its organization and mutual understanding between all links. Based on the experience of creating a laboratory for clinical nutrition and metabolism, it can be concluded that the creation of such a laboratory and the organization of clinical nutrition in a hospital can improve the results of treatment of even the most severe category of patients.
