Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrition plays a critical role in the management of critically ill patients, where adequate nutritional support is essential for optimizing outcomes and reducing complications. To meet nutritional adequacy, more effort is required. Nutritional goals in the ICU include providing sufficient calories and protein to meet increased metabolic demands, preventing malnutrition, enhancing recovery, and supporting immune response. Monitoring and adjusting nutritional support based on patient tolerance and clinical response are key to achieving these goals, ensuring personalized care and enhancing patient outcomes.
The theme of this Special Issue encompasses a broad range of topics related to ICU nutrition, including but not limited to the following:
- Early enteral nutrition initiation and strategies for overcoming challenges.
- Nutritional requirements and feeding protocols in specific patient populations.
- Innovations in monitoring and assessment of nutritional status in the ICU.
- Pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to optimizing nutritional support.
- Multidisciplinary approaches and team-based strategies for enhancing patient outcomes.
We encourage submissions of original research articles, reviews, and comments that address these themes or other relevant aspects of ICU nutrition. Manuscripts should adhere to the journal's guidelines and will undergo rigorous peer review to ensure scientific rigor and relevance.
Prof. Dr. Jae Gil Lee
Guest Editor
