International Critical Care Nutrition Survey 2009: Defining Gaps in Practice Naomi E Cahill, RD MSc Project Leader Queen’s University and Clinical Evaluation Research Unit Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Acknowledgments • Participants of the International Nutrition Survey 2009 • Dr Daren Heyland and the Research Team at the Clinical Evaluation Research Unit • Lauren Murch, Project Assistant • Rupinder Dhaliwal, Project Leader • Andrew Day, Biostatistician • Miao Wang, Data Analyst • Fernando Ferrer, IT Support
Benchmarking • Individual ICUs compared to: • Canadian Clinical Practice Guidelines • All ICUs • ICUs from same geographic region
Objectives of International Survey Quality Improvement • To determine current nutrition practice in the adult critical care setting (overall and subgroups) • Illuminate gaps between best practice and current practice • To identify nutrition practices to target for quality improvement initiatives Generate New Knowledge • To determine factors associated with optimal provision of nutrition • To determine what nutrition practices are associated with best clinical outcomes
History of International Surveys • 3 previous surveys in Canada • 2001, 2003, 2004 • N > 50 • Extended to other countries in 2007 and 2008 • 167 ICUs each year • >18 countries • 65 ICUs from 10 countries participated in both years. • Repeated in September 2009 • Focus on North America • Preliminary results
Methods Eligibility Criteria • ICU Site • >8 beds • Availability of individual with knowledge of clinical nutrition to collect data • Patient • Adult >18 years • In ICU > 72 hours • Mechanically ventilated within 48 hours
Methods • Prospective observational cohort study • Start date: 16th September 2009 • Aim 20 consecutive patients • Min 8 pts • Data included: • Hospital and ICU demographics • Patient baseline information (e.g. age, admission diagnosis, APACHE II) • Baseline Nutrition Assessment • 12 days Daily Nutrition data (e.g. type of NS, amount NS received) • 60 day hospital outcomes (e.g. mortality, length of stay)
Who participated in 2009?: 152 ICUs Canada: 32 Asia: 12 Europe: 15 USA: 62 China: 1 Taiwan: 1 India: 6 Iran : 1 Japan: 1 Singapore: 2 Italy: 2 UK: 7 Ireland: 2 Norway: 1 Switzerland: 1 Czech Republic: 1 Mexico: 2 Brazil:1 Colombia:5 Peru:1 Venezuela:1 Latin America: 10 Australia & New Zealand: 22
We strongly recommend the use of enteral nutrition over parenteral nutrition
Type of Nutrition Support n=2948 patients
Use of EN Only 73.7% 93.4% 55.6% 6.4% 66.5% n=16983 patients days
Use of PN Only 12% 6.6% 8.9% n=2279 patients days
Use of EN + PN 16.3% 2.7% 4.6% n=292 patients days
No EN, PN or Oral intake received 26.9% 10.5% 20% n=5117 patients days
We recommend early enteral nutrition (within 24-48 hrs following admission) in critically ill patients
Timing of Initiation of EN 50 hrs 30 hrs 41 hrs
An evidence based feeding protocol should be considered as a strategy to optimize delivery of enteral nutrition
In critically ill patients who experience feed intolerance (high gastric residual volumes, emesis) the use of a motility agent is recommended
Strategies to Optimize EN Delivery:Motility Agents 87% 45% 60.7%
In units were achieving routine small bowel access is not feasible small bowel feeding should be considered for patients who repeatedly demonstrate high gastric residual volumes and are not tolerating EN
Small Bowel Feeding 43.8% 4.3% 12.2%
Composition of EN and Pharmaconutrient Supplementation recommendations
In patients not tolerating adequate amounts of EN, PN should not be started until all strategies to maximize EN delivery (e.g. motility agents, small bowel feeding) have been attempted
EN in Combination with PN % of patients received motility agents before PN started 63% 21% 44.4%
We recommend that hyperglycemia (blood sugars >10mmol/l) be avoided
Blood Glucose >10 mmol/l 15.6% 8.8% 13.4%
Overall Performance Adequacy of Nutrition Support = Calories received from EN + appropriate PN+Propofol Calories prescribed
Overall Performance: Kcals 93% 49.9% 8.3%
Where can we do better? • Inadequate EN delivery • timing of initiation of EN • feeding protocols • small bowel feeding and motility agents • Optimize Pharmaconutrition • use of glutamine, antioxidants, omega-3 FFA. • Tighten glycemic control
