Maria Lopez

Critically unwell patients with COVID-19 ar at high nutrition risk. This study aimed to explain the nutrition support practices in a very single centre crucial care unit throughout the initial surge of the COVID-19 pandemic. Practices were explored from intensive care unit admission to post-ICU follow-up clinic and patients WHO received veno-venous extra-corporeal membrane natural action (VV-ECMO) were compared to those that failed to. Results show it’s doable to achieve nutritionary adequacy for many patients which neither VV-ECMO nor proning were barriers to nutritionary adequacy. Nutritionary problems for patients WHO were critically unwell with COVID-19 persist following step down to ward level and into the community and methods to manage this need any investigation.
