Case presentation and panel discussion: Critical illness.

Abstract

Despite a mounting evidentiary base, controversies surrounding critical care nutrition support persist. Anchored by a case of a 60-year-old male with esophageal cancer who develops acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and septic shock, five panelists from the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) 2021 Pre-Conference discuss key clinical dilemmas in critical care nutrition, including hierarchy of evidence, bedside evaluation of malnutrition, optimal protein dose, use of fiber, and therapies targeting gut function and gut microbiota .
