1. International Nutrition QI Project 2007: Debriefing Session Friday June 15 th, 2007 Confederation 3, Fairmont Royal York, Toronto

2. Brief Overview of Survey Results Review of Benchmarked Performance Reports Small Group Discussion Future Research Summary and Closing Comments Agenda

3. Purpose To describe and compare nutrition practices To compare nutrition practices to the Canadian Nutrition Support Clinical Practice Guidelines To identify opportunities for improvement Illuminate research opportunities

4. Canada: 47 USA:41 Australia & New Zealand: 23 UK & Ireland: 22 EU (other): 14 Latin America: 5 Asia:11 Brazil:1 Mexico:3 Uruguay:1 Venezuala:1 Who participated? : 165 ICUs Malaysia: 2 China: 6 Saudi Arabia: 2 Indonesia: 1 Austria:2 Czech Republic: 3 Italy: 5 Slovenia:1 Spain:1 Sweden: 2

5. Who participated?: Health practitioners 206 Registered Practitioners

6. Ethics Approval 206 Registered ICUs 41 ICUs excluded as no data entered Reason for attrition: ? Ethics approval 120 ICUs (57.5%) required local ethics approval –97 expedited review –1 expedited review plus informed consent required –21 full review –1 full review plus informed consent required

7. Who participated? Patients Number of patients per site –19.3 (1-40) Total number of patients –2896 Days of observation per patient –9.5 (1-12) Total number of patient days in ICU –27192 days <3% missing data for ALL variables

8. Preliminary Site Report Purpose of review: 1.Communicate how to interpret your site report 2.Review ‘preliminary’ results of the survey 3.Receive feedback on format of site reports

14. Overall Performance Adequacy of Nutrition Support = Calories received from EN & appropriate PN X 100 Calories prescribed

15. Overall Performance

16. Adequacy of EN

17. Overall Performance

18. EN vs. PN We strongly recommend the use of EN over PN

19. EN vs. Standard Care In critically ill patients with an intact GIT, we strongly recommend that PN not be used routinely

20. Early vs. Delayed EN We recommend early EN (within 24-48 hours following admission)

21. EN in combination with PN For critically ill patients starting on EN, we recommend that PN not be started at the same time as EN

22. Composition of Nutrition Support

23. Strategies to Optimize EN Delivery: Feeding Protocol

24. Strategies to Optimize EN Delivery

25. Strategies to Optimize PN Delivery: Dose of PN

26. Strategies to Optimize PN Delivery: Use of Lipids

27. Intensive Insulin Therapy

30. Small Group Discussion What are your thoughts on the data elements collected in the survey, the method of data collection, and how it is represented in the site reports? What are the most effective strategies for changing behaviour around nutrition practices in the ICU?

31. Small Group Discussion 20 mins Nominate ‘recorder’ and ‘spokesperson’ Give freely of your experience Keep confidences and assume others will Feel free to ask us questions Summarize key points

32. Moving Forward: QI in the ICU Changing nutrition practice is complex Need to identify barriers and enablers to changing practice Need to understand factors associated with guideline implementation and adherence

33. Understanding Guideline Implementation Secondary Analysis of Canadian Nutrition Survey 2004 dataset Multiple case study  4 case ICU sites  28 Semi-structured key informant interviews

34. Identified Barriers Guidelines Information overload Weak evidence Impractical / Complex Institution Community Hospital setting Open ICU Slow administrative process Resource constraints Practitioner Lack of awareness Limited critical care experience Resistance to change Nursing workload Patient Poor clinical condition Surgical

35. Enablers Agreement of the attending physician & ICU team Part of routine practice Dietitian / Opinion leader Access / Visibility Easy to follow and perform Provision of education Open discussion

36. Successful Implementation Strategies Informal one-on-one discussions –Academic detailing, ward rounds Bed-side reminders –Check-list, algorithms, Feedback and audit –Site reports
