healthmanagement.orgA large international multicentre cohort study shows that most of the patients are underfed during their ICU stay. In their findings published in the journal Clinical Nutrition, researchers say most of the patients in intensive care are receiving the same amount of calories regardless of their condition, patient’s well-being is not satisfied, and delayed nutrition is more frequent. The findings show poor adherence to nutritional guidelines.
