Full description:
Critical illness often leads to significant muscle loss and weakness, making recovery and returning to normal life difficult. To help patients recover, dietitians often provide different kinds of feeding support, such as tube feeding, nutritional drinks, or IV (given into the veins) nutrition. This study aims to find out what tools and checks dietitians are currently using (e.g. weight, strength tests, blood markers) to measure if a patient is getting better from a nutritional point of view.
