NUTRITION MONITORING IN THE ICU CAN IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES
Despite nutritional support being part of the standard of care for ICU patients, a study conducted in 167 ICUs across 37 countries showed that patients in the ICU receive only 59% of the prescribed nutrition plan1.

Caloric deficit is associated with an increase in ventilator days, complications and length of stay in the ICU2, while greater nutritional intake received during the first week in the ICU is associated with longer survival time and faster physical recovery up to 3 months3.

PDMS CONNECTIVITY HELPS TO ASSURE PROPER NUTRITION AND MAY SUPPORT POSITIVE OUTCOMES IN THE ICU.

Makes the feeding process visible4,5

- Integration of nutritional advice and automatically generated feedback (pop up warnings) to users enables quick clinical response - Comparison to target to better adapt of feeding rates to avoid energy deficit

Facilitates adequate energy delivery and balance monitoring4,5,6

- Integration of enteral nutrition delivery into total fluid and electrolyte balance as well as glucose charts - Supports standardization of prescription - Facilitates adequate protein, carbohydrates and lipid delivery

Allows automated data collection and control4,6

- Reduces workload associated with data manual entry and computation allowing nurses to spend more time with the patient - Reduces number of missing data - Automated extractions enable the continued quality control process, feedback loops and adequate follow-up based on guidelines
