Description
"The use of parenteral nutrition in the critically ill patient with an
intact GI tract is controversial, with few high-quality studies to
provide guidance in patient management. This session will focus
on defining the role for early supplemental parenteral nutrition and
the role of IV glutamine in conjunction with parenteral nutrition.
Faculty will conduct a pros and cons debate, which will focus on
whether the use of early parenteral nutrition is warranted in critically
ill patients with an intact GI tract. Each debater will present their
arguments in 15 minutes and have a two minute rebuttal, followed by
questions from the audience."
