9 PROTEIN TRACERS AND MUSCLE BIOPSY

10 Observational study investigating equivalent of 1g/kg/day parenteral amino acids on 3-hour whole body protein turnover. n=13 studied once & n=7 twice Whole body protein balance increased on both occasions Due to increased protein synthesis Amino acid oxidation not increased

12 Higher parenteral amino acid intake (0.9g/kg/day vs 1.1g/kg/day) ü Improved handgrip strength (ICU and hospital discharge) ü Improved Fatigue score ü Reduced muscle wasting Ferrie et al. JPEN 2016;40:

20 NUTRITIONAL STATUS & ASSESSMENT Weight Height BMI Parameter LIMITATION Calibration of bed scales Fluid shifts Unable to stand Demispan/Ulna length inaccurate As above Weight History Diet History Can ask family (?not as accurate) Medical notes if up to date As above Biochemical parameters Often associated with inflammation

21 NUTRIC VARIABLE RANGE POINTS Score Developed based on acute and chronic factors that affect nutritional status Patients are considered high nutrition risk with a score of 5 Age < <75 75 APACHE II < < SOFA <6 6 - <10 10 Number of co-morbidities Days from hospital to ICU admission 0 - <

22 Ferreira et al. JAMA 2001; 286(14): The APACHE II and SOFA Scores are required for calculation the NUTRIC score

23 NRS 2002 Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS 2002) Table 1: Initial screening Yes No 1 Is BMI <20? 2 Has the patient lost weight within the last 3 months? 3 Has the patient had a reduced dietary intake in the last week? 4 Is the patient severely ill? (e.g. in intensive therapy) Yes: If the answer is 'Yes' to any question, the screening in Table 2 is performed. No: If the answer is 'No' to all questions, the patient is re-screening at weekly intervals. If the patient e.g. is scheduled for a major operation, a preventive nutritional care plan is considered to avoid the associated risk status. NRS is a two-step screening tool. Patients in the ICU automatically progress to step 2. Kondrup et al. Clin Nutr 2003; 22(4):

24 NRS 2002 NRS 2002 may not be specific enough as it classifies all critically ill patients as high risk which may not be the case Absent Score 0 Mild Score 1 Impaired nutritional status Normal nutritional status Wt loss >5% in 3 mths or Food intake below 50-75% of normal requirement in preceding week. Table 2: Final screening Absent Score 0 Mild Score 1 Severity of disease (» increase in requirements) Normal nutritional requirements Hip fracture* Chronic patients, in particular with acute complications: cirrhosis*, COPD*. Chronic hemodialysis, diabetes, oncology. Moderate Score 2 Wt loss >5% in 2 mths or BMI impaired general condition or Food intake 25-50% of normal requirement in preceding week Moderate Score 2 Major abdominal surgery* Stroke* Severe pneumonia, hematologic malignancy. Severe Score 3 Wt loss >5% in 1 mth (>15% in 3 mths) or BMI < impaired general condition or Food intake 0-25% of normal requirement in preceding week in preceding week. Severe Score 3 Head injury* Bone marrow transplantation* Intensive care patients (APACHE>10). Score + Score: = Total score: Age if ³ 70 years: add 1 to total score above = age-adjusted total score: Score ³3: the patient is nutritionally at-risk and a nutritional care plan is initiated Score < 3: weekly rescreening of the patient. If the patient e.g. is scheduled for a major operation, a preventive nutritional care plan is considered to avoid the associated risk status. Kondrup et al. Clin Nutr 2003; 22(4):

26 But which weight do I use? Ideal or actual body weight will lead to underfeeding in some patients and overfeeding in others Should be based on Fat Free Mass (FFM), but no reliable bedside tool Might be a place for BIA or CT in the future Protein Target (BMI_20_30 formula) BMI g/kg actual body weight (ABW) BMI < g x height (m2) x 20 BMI > g x height (m2) x 27.5 Weijs et al, Clin Nutr; 2011

27 What do I do in practice? Underweight (BMI <18.5kg/m 2 ) Use actual body weight Normal weight (BMI 19-25kg/m 2 ) Use actual body weight Overweight and obese Use ideal body weight (adjusted to BMI 23 kg/m 2 )

28 HOW DO YOU MEET THE TARGETS IN PRACTICE?

29 HOW DO YOU MONITOR THESE PATIENTS IN PRACTICE?

30 CASE STUDIES What would you consider in your nutrition assessment? Does this patient have any additional considerations which may affect their protein target? Which weight would you use to calculate the protein target? What protein target would you aim for?

31 CASE STUDY 1 71 year old admitted with type 2 respiratory failure due to exacerbation of COPD. PMHx COPD, hypertension Intubated and ventilated, propofol for sedation, but weaning off Anthropometry Weight 73kg; Height 161cm; BMI 28kg/m 2 You review her 72 hours into her ICU admission.

32 CASE STUDY 2 76 year old adm from theatre following bowel resection and washout for four quadrant faecal peritonitis with multiple perforations around anastomosis. Abdomen left open 2/52 ago, had anterior resection for Colon Ca (short ICU stay, but managed on the ward) Intubated and ventilated, propofol for sedation Anthropometry Weight 62kg; Height 178cm; BMI 19.5kg/m 2 4kg weight loss since admission with 5% weight loss in 3 months prior to surgery Referral for PN on day 1 post-op

33 CASE STUDY 3 19 year old adm following high speed road traffic accident Left subdural haemorrhage and diffuse brain swelling Multiple C-Spine fractures Complex bilateral facial and basal skull fractures Large bilateral lung contusions Intubated and ventilated, sedated and paralysed Anthropometry Weight 120kg; Height 178cm; BMI 38kg/m 2 You review within 72 hours of admission to the ICU

34 CONCLUSIONS Higher protein intakes in critical illness may improve outcome Individualised nutrition assessment is required to determine appropriate protein intakes and methods of delivery for each patient Monitoring is essential!
