Webinar description:

This presentation will review two illuminating studies published this year in the area of critical care nutrition - the EFFORT Protein study and the NUTRIREA-3 study. Both of these studies revealed important results that contradict the recommendations of current guidelines. We will review these trials, including post-hoc publications and discuss their influence and impact for ICU clinicians.

Learning Objectives:

After viewing this webinar, participants will:

a) Learn about two recent seminal trials that studied protein and caloric provision in critically ill patients.

b) Understand the strengths and weaknesses of the studies.

c) Consider how these studies will influence any future guidelines for protein and energy intake in critically ill ICU patients.
