Post-hoc Secondary Analyses
Adjusted Analysis The 28-day mortality rates in the placebo, glutamine, antioxidant and combination groups were 25%, 32%, 29% and 33% respectively. Compared to placebo, the unadjusted OR (95% CI) of mortality was Glutamine 1.4 (1.0-2.0, P =0.063), Antioxidant 1.2 (0.8-1.7, P =0.31), Both 1.4 (1.0-2.0, P=0.049). After adjusting for all statistically significant baseline characteristics, the corresponding adjusted ORs remained virtually unchanged at: Glutamine 1.4 (1.0-2.1, P =0.054) Antioxidant 1.2(0.8-1.8, P =0.34) Both 1.4 (0.9-2.0, P =0.10)

Conclusions Glutamine and antioxidants at doses studied in this study do not improve clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with multi-organ failure Glutamine may be harmful For both glutamine and antioxidants, the greatest signal of harm was in patients with multi-organ failure that included renal dysfunction upon study enrollment.

Canadian Clinical Practice Guidelines in 2013 February 10th 2012 PN Type of Lipids 2009 Recommendation There are insufficient data to make a recommendation on the type of lipids to be used in critically ill patients receiving parenteral nutrition. 2013 Recommendation: IV lipids that reduce the load of omega-6 fatty acids/soybean oil emulsions should be considered. There are insufficient data on type of soybean reducing lipids Rupinder Dhaliwal
Which Alternative Lipid Emulsion to Use? No head to head trials (and not likely to be) We analyzed our International Nutrition Survey database to evaluate effect of Alternative Lipids on outcomes. Analyzed adjusted for key confounding variables. Edmunds CCM 2014 epub

Value of Bench-marked Site Reports Recommendations: Based on 8 level 2 studies, we recommend early enteral nutrition (within 24-48 hrs following resuscitation) in critically ill patients. Early vs Delayed Nutrition Intake
In patients with high gastric residual volumes: use of motility agents 58.7% (site average range: 0-100%) use of small bowel feeding 14.7% (range: 0-100%) Cahill N Crit Care Med 2010

Can we do better with our current feeding protocols? The same thinking that got you into this mess won’t get you out of it!
A major paradigm shift in how we feed enterally The Efficacy of Enhanced Protein-Energy Provision via the Enteral Route in Critically Ill Patients: The PEP uP Protocol! Different feeding options based on hemodynamic stability and suitability for high volume intragastric feeds. In select patients, we start the EN immediately at goal rate, not at 25 ml/hr. We target a 24 hour volume of EN rather than an hourly rate and provide the nurse with the latitude to increase the hourly rate to make up the 24 hour volume. Start with a semi elemental solution, progress to polymeric. Motility agents and protein supplements are started immediately, rather than started when there is a problem. Tolerate higher GRV* threshold (300 ml or more). A major paradigm shift in how we feed enterally * GRV: gastric residual volume Heyland DK. Crit Care. 2010;14(2):R78 Heyland DK CCM 2013.

Three versions of the sheets were developed targeted at nurses, physicians, and patients’ family, respectively. PowerPoint presentations Information about the study rationale and how to implement the PEP uP protocol. A long (30-40 minute) and short (10-15 minute) version were available. Self-learning module Information about the PEP uP protocol and case example to work through independently. Posters A variety of posters were available to hang in the ICU during the study. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document Document addresses common questions about the PEP uP Protocol. Electronic reminder messages Animated reminder messages about key elements of the PEP uP protocol to be displayed on a monitor in the ICU.

Tailored Intervention: Vs. Tailored Intervention: Change strategies specifically chosen to address the barriers identified at a specific setting at a specific time
Systematic Review of Tailored Interventions 26 studies of tailored interventions Pooled OR 1.52 (95% CI 1.27-1.82), p=0.001 Variation in methodology None in clinical nutrition Baker et al Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2010
PERFormance Enhancement of the Canadian nutrition guidelines through a Tailored Implementation Strategy: The PERFECTIS Study Hypothesis Barriers are inversely related to nutrition performance and tailoring change strategies to overcome barriers to change will reduce the presence of these barriers and lead to improvements in nutrition practice.
Study Schema: Pre-test Posttest
Example of Tailored Action Plan
Change in Prioritized Barriers Score Site Range -26.3% (SD 18.8%) To -4.6% (SD 28.6%) Overall Barriers Score Before = 30.5% After = 20.8% Change = -9.7 %
Change in Adequacy of Total Nutrition Before = 43% After = 49% Change = 6% Site Range = -2 to 18%
OPTimal nutrition by Informing and Capacitating family members of best practices: The OPTICs feasibility study Investigators Andrea Marshall, RN, MN, PhD Daren Heyland, MD, FRCPC, MSc Naomi Cahill, RD, PhD candidate Rupinder Dhaliwal, RD
Gap exists: best practice & current practice Evidence-based nutrition guidelines are inconsistently implemented Large scale, multi-faceted interventions have failed to improve nutrition practices & have not improved nutritional adequacy for the critically ill Engaging family members to act as advocates for nutrition may be a promising strategy to narrow the gap between best practice & current practice both in the ICU and post ICU
Objectives: Definitive study Hypothesis Educating families about the importance of nutrition and having them advocate for better nutrition for their loved one in the ICU will result in better nutrition delivery during critical illness and in the recovery phase
Evidence for Family Advocacy Literature supports family-centered care1,2,3,4 Families and ICU staff are very supportive of family involvement in patient care. Most patients are also favourable of family involvement in their care1 Garrouste-Orgeas M, Willems V, Timsit JF, Diaw F, Brochon S, Vesin A, et al.

Objectives: Feasibility Study Primary aim: Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an intervention designed to educate family members about the importance of adequate nutrition in ICU and during recovery from critical illness
Intervention: Family education session & patient nutrition history Education session and booklet Information about nutrition therapy Nutrition therapy risks, side effects Initiating oral feeds following EN or PN How family members can be advocates for the best nutrition practices Nutrition history (Family member) Weight loss history Past diets, food intolerances/allergies, GI problems Chewing/swallowing difficulties Eating patterns Food preferences
Creating a Culture of Clinical Excellence in Critical Care Nutrition: The ‘Best of the Best’ Award Heyland JPEN 2010: in press
Recognition and Reward Recognition a powerful motivator of human performance
Determining the Best of the Best Determinant Weighting Overall Adequacy of EN plus appropriate PN 10 % patients receiving EN 5 % of patients with EN initiated within 48 hours 3 % of patients with high gastric residual volumes (HGRV) receiving motility agents 1 % of patients with HGRV receiving small bowel tubes % of patient glucose measurements greater than 10 mmol/L (excluding day 1; fewest is best) Rank all eligible ICUs by determinants Multiply ranking by weighting ICU with highest score is crowned ‘Best of the Best’
