Description
"All major specialty societies produce clinical practice guidelines
to aid practitioners in clinical decisions. These guidelines, while
beneficial to many practitioners, are often on the same topic and may
have conflicting statements. How do we make sense of all of this?
While this symposium will focus on the various critical care nutrition
guidelines currently available to nutrition support practitioners,
you’ll also hear take home messages of how to appraise, interpret
and utilize guidelines in other settings. Plus, you’ll be introduced
to A.S.P.E.N.’s new system for grading evidence included in clinical
practice guidelines."
