What You'll Learn

DESCRIPTION

Today’s medical environment demands evidence-based practice, replicable results, and improved patient outcomes. Our abstract authors conduct research to help meet these challenges and provide breakthroughs in our knowledge and in our patient care. These sessions are dedicated to presentations of high-ranking abstracts. The abstracts will be presented by topic, so you can explore cutting-edge research on issues that interest you. The abstracts will also be published in the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (JPEN), making them part of the body of evidence available to guide your clinical care.

What You'll Learn

It is time to think outside of the box as we contemplate future directions and priorities in clinical nutrition. The necessity of challenging dogma and asking questions when things do not make sense is an important area of emphasis. Innovation skills prioritize new ways of looking at challenging problems and bringing new perspectives and creative solutions to the table.  

Do not miss this keynote session where you will have an opportunity to learn from three exceptional presenters who will share approaches that are integral to successful innovation as we look ahead to the next 50 years.  

  • Describe fundamental innovation skills.  
  • Identify at least three breakthroughs in clinical nutrition that resulted from thinking outside the box. 
  • Describe the key challenges and opportunities that we face in clinical nutrition.

What You'll Learn

LEARNING OBJECTIVES 

  • Analyze how timing may be just as important as dose in nutrition trials, in relation to metabolic health. 
  • Summarize how chrono-nutrition can serve as an intervention strategy to reduce metabolic complications and improve circadian misalignment during and after critical illness. 
  • Demonstrate how calorie, protein, and micronutrient metabolism may impact the outcomes of large clinical trials such as TARGET, EFFORT and NUTRIREA-3. 
  • Identify which biomarkers are already available in clinical practice and which emerged in recent trials to further improve nutrition practice in ICU.
