Nutrition in Critical Care elements of PENG Pocket Guide

The BDA PEN Group have provided downloadable versions of sections from the PENG Pocket Guide to Clinical Nutrition relevant to Critical Care. These are being made available for this period of time so that dietitians are being deployed into areas in which they do not normally have the most up to date clinical information about practice.

• Section 5 - Access Routes (12 Pages) - To describe the most commonly used feeding methods in artificial nutrition support.
  • Tables 5.1 - 5.18 - Enteral Feeding Routes (18 pages)
  • Table 5.19 - Parenteral Feeding Routes
• Section 16 - Nutrition in Critical Care. (24 pages)
  • Table 16.6 - Predictive equations to estimate energy targets in critically ill patients. 
  • Table 16.7 - Advantages and disadvantages of predictive equations for estimating energy targets in critically ill patients. 
  • Table 16.9 - Drugs and nutrition in critical care.

The access code for the pocket guide pages on the PENG website has also been temporarily lifted to allow dietitians to access the supporting information: https://www.peng.org.uk/publications-resources/pocket-guide.php
