Background: Although screening patients for malnutrition risk on hospital admission is standard of care, nutrition shortfalls are undertreated. Nutrition interventions can improve outcomes. We tested effects a nutrition‐focused quality improvement program (QIP) readmission and length stay (LOS). Materials Methods: QIP included at admission, prompt initiation oral supplements (ONS) at‐risk patients, support. A 2‐group, pre‐post design malnourished adults with any diagnosis was conducted 4...
Abstract Background Micronutrients, an umbrella term used to collectively describe vitamins and trace elements, are essential components of nutrition. Those requiring alternative forms nutrition support dependent on the prescribed regimen for their micronutrient provision. The purpose this paper is assist clinicians bridge gap between available guidelines’ recommendations practical application in provision micronutrients via parenteral route adult patients. Methods Based evidenced‐based...
Abstract Background Identification and treatment of malnutrition across the care continuum can help prevent illness onset or relapse maximize effectiveness other medical treatments. This study aimed to evaluate effect a nutrition‐focused quality improvement program (QIP) conducted in home health agency (HHA) on hospitalization rates healthcare costs incurred over 90 days. Methods was multisite, pre‐post QIP implemented at 2 branches an Illinois‐based HHA. The included 1546 patients who were...
Background: Obstruction of feeding tubes is a common mechanical complication associated with enteral feeding. Standard methods flushing are not always effective. Methods: This study was conducted patients receiving via nasogastric, nasoenteral, gastrostomy, or jejunostomy to determine if prophylactic use pancreatic enzymes would maintain patency tubes. Interrupted regimens were used. Control (n = 24) received only water for flushing. After the tube, 33) 5‐mL suspension enzyme containing...
Abstract Background R-wave peak time (RWPT) is a measurement from the onset of QRS complex to apex R-wave. It reflects taken for excitation spread endocardial epicardial surface. RWPT in unipolar chest leads reflect depolarisation cardiac muscle immediately below it, where V6 considered surrogate lateral left ventricular activation routine clinical care(1). However, placement can vary between operators addition variation size and position, so whether truly remains representative wall...

For each patient, a calorie count ingested food obtained 3 consecutive days. Parenteral calories were then decreased without patient's knowledge. A more days following day change. mean daily...
Addressing nutrition needs of inpatients results in improved health outcomes. We conducted a post hoc analysis previously published data. The aim this was to evaluate the clinical benefits quality improvement program (QIP) surgical patients when compared with medical patients.Data were collected from 1269 QIP and 1319 historical controls. These combined 2588 categorized into (390, 15%) (2198, 85%) patient subgroups.Readmission rate relative risk reductions significantly higher among (46.9%...
Copper (Cu) deficiency has been reported both in pediatric and adult patients on total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Manifestations of Cu are usually hematologic the adult.
