Study Notes
Nutritional Education and Diet Plans
- Health professionals provide nutritional education and prescribe diet plans to prevent and manage obesity and its comorbidities, such as cardiovascular and infectious diseases.
- Nutrition therapy is a crucial part of treating comorbidities.
High-Fat, Low-Carbohydrate, and High-Protein Diets
- These diets have been proposed as an alternative nutritional intervention for patients with a poor prognosis or higher demand for healing rate and overall survival.
- They must be indicated and guided by proficient health professionals, following strict guidelines that must be reviewed regularly.
Background and Rationale
- Guidelines addressing nutritional needs are well-known and cited worldwide, but little is known about the implications of the quality of food.
- The question arises whether feeds should contain more fat, protein, and fewer carbohydrates.
Critical Care and Diet
- In critical care, diet is as crucial as the dose of a drug or a mechanical ventilation parameter.
- Critically ill patients have a high basal metabolic rate and rapidly deplete their nutrient reserves.
- Clinical nutrition should provide the necessary energy, macro- and micronutrients, and an anti-inflammatory agent in the right ratio.
- Overfeeding and underfeeding have severe consequences, including higher mortality, protein catabolism, and liver dysfunction.
Objectives and Scope
- This review aims to update the current role of high-fat and high-protein formulas in critical care medicine.
- The review assesses the potential roles of these formulas on outcomes such as costs, mortality, and morbidity.
- The end goal is to examine clinical utility, areas of concern, and clinical outcomes and research benchmarks.
