Project Successes & Barriers Successes • Increased NPO/CL awareness • Engaged Nursing in data collection • Residents meet weekly for “lunch & learns” • “President’s Cup” Quality Fair Award – Facility Awareness/recognition
Barriers • Setting up physician inservices – Appropriate contact – Getting them to attend
• Lead time needed for Medical Grand Rounds • Staff turnover – Lead Dietitian – Nurses – MD Resident ICU rotations 54 54
27
UPMC Future Considerations • Monitor the clinical benefits/outcomes of early enteral nutrition – Decreased length of hospital stay and/or days in ICU – Reduced days on mechanical ventilator – Reduced infectious complications
• Pop-Up alert in EHR once NPO/CL >3 days • Ongoing education and inservicing of medical staff on benefits of early feeding in the critical/ICU patient – A MUST! • Implement an “Early Enteral Feeding Protocol” 55 55
Summary/Key Points • Educational approach improves compliance with Early Enteral Feeding • Staff buy-in, especially MD Champion • Organized approach • Baseline data – “current state” – Justifies • Enough lead time to schedule MD inservices • Ongoing education/inservicing YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!! 56 56

Grading of Literature • Definition of large trial Fulfill endpoint criteria per power analysis Size > 100 subjects •
Use of Meta-Analysis Organize information Derive overall treatment effect N t tto grade Not d recommendation d ti
•
Review papers, consensus statements = Expert opinion

Grade based on level of evidence of individual studies 64
Grading of Recommendations • Grade of Recommendation: A Supported by at least two level I investigations B Supported by one level I investigation C Supported by level II investigations only D Supported by at least two level III investigations E Supported by level IV or level V evidence • Level of Evidence: I Large, randomized trials II Small, S ll randomized d i d trials ti l III Non-randomized, contemporaneous controls IV Non-randomized, historical controls V Case series, uncontrolled studies, expert opinion Adapted from Dellinger (CCM 2004;32:858-873)
65
32
Guidelines: Why do people not follow them ? • Inherent bias • Arguments against implementing standard guidelines • Too expensive to implement » “we are an indigent care hospital…..”
• No internal support to implement » “my doctors don’t really care…”
• Feeling the guidelines will not apply to their patients » “my ICU patients are sicker or somehow different than those described in the guidelines….”
• “What we are currently doing is fine” » Most make this statement without critical evaluation of internal data
66
E1. Selection of Appropriate Enteral Formulation • E1. Immune-modulating enteral formulations (supplemented with agents such as arginine, glutamine, nucleic l t i l i acid, id omega-3 3 ffatty tt acids, id and d antiti oxidants) should be used for the appropriate patient population (major elective surgery, trauma, burns, head and neck cancer, and critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation), being cautious in patients with severe sepsis. ((For surgical g ICU patients …..Grade: A)) (For medical ICU patients …..Grade: B) • ICU patients not meeting criteria for immunemodulating formulations should receive standard enteral formulations. (Grade: B)
67
33
ESPEN Guidelines Intensive Care (2006) • Immune-modulating g formulae are superior p to standard enteral formulae: Grade A
Kreymann KG Clin Nutr 2006
68
ESPEN Guidelines Surgery (2006) • Patients undergoing surgery who are considered to have no specific risk of aspiration, may drink clear fluids hours anesthesia: Grade A fl ids until ntil 2 ho rs before anesthesia • Use of preop carbohydrate loading in patients undergoing major surgery: Grade B • Use of EN preferably with immune modulating substrates (Arg, omega 3 FA etc) peri-operatively independent of nutritional risk for those patients • Head and Neck, Major GI, Trauma
GRADE A 69 Weimann A Clin Nutr 2006
34
“Carbo” Loading Pre-op • Principle is similar to preparation for major sports event ! • 8 hours pre-op 800 cc isotonic CHO solution • 3 hours pre-op 300 cc isotonic CHO solution • Shown to: • Not increase risk of aspiration • Protect lean body mass post-op » Maintain hand grip strength, etc
• Decrease insulin resistance post-op Ljungqvist O 2009 Faria MS WJS 2009

Example Case Study: Esophageal CA Use of Guidelines • 64 yo male presents to Primary Care with severe dysphagia, 15 pound weight loss • • • • • •
PMH: GERD, HTN PSH: appendectomy 18 yo Meds: prescribed PPI, HCTZ (rarely takes 2nd $ issues) Social: tobacco +, 40 pack yr history PE: no major finding W/U: EGD with mucosal based lesion distal esophagus » 70% of lumen occluded » Biopsy: moderately differentiated adenoCa » Metastatic W/U (CT chest abd, bronch), EUS, lymphadenopathy 71
35
Case continued: Esophageal Ca • Discussion at Med/Surg GI Cancer Conference • Sur/Onc, Med/Onc, Radiation/Onc, Nursing, PT, etc • Decision to proceed with surgery following pre-op pre op neoadjuvant therapy (T2N1M0 adenoca of esophagus) • 6 wk of Chemo/Radiation • PEG, Lap J, NJ tube, PO intake ? • Following neoadjuvant therapy tolerating liquids without problems • At pre-op visit – counseled on importance of specific pre-op nutrition (initial discussion done with primary Surgeon) • Nurse in clinic gives pre-op handout – Inclusion in pre-op instruction is the pre-op Immune-modulating formula (IMF) 72
OHSU Pre-surgical Nutrition Protocol Esophagectomy modulating formula • Oral immune immune-modulating • (containing arginine, fish oil, and nucleotides)
• Three 8 oz cartons per day (24 oz per day) 5-7 7 days prior to surgery • 5
Waitzberg World J Surg 2006 Braga M Arch Surg 2002
73
36
Local problems and solutions • Problem: pre-op formula is expensive • Solution: • Shift to pharmacy budget • Appeal with financial argument to administration to cover up front cost » Cost effective argument must have data and tables etc
74
Local problems and solutions • Problem: our doctors will never order the formula • Solution: education program; variable arguments based on audience • • • •
MDs ; ??? Nurses; patient benefit, length of stay, tolerance Pharmacy; cost, logistics and science Administration; financial argument
75
37
Local problems and solutions • Problem: How do the patients get the formula as outpatient ? • Solution: • Store product with dietary enteral formula supply – i.e. pay in cafeteria; take receipt to stock room
• Arrange with two or three local pharmacies to carry – Key here is to not dilute the usage too much
• Purchase on-line • Stocking in MD’s office » Not practical in most settings
76
Local problems and solutions • Problem: Patients leave with good intentions and g with buying y g the formula do not follow through • Solution: MD discusses with patient • Simple discussion of the data on infection, length of stay etc
• Problem: Patients forget what they need when th arrive they i att the th pharmacy h • Solution: Patients given pre-op handout with name, quantity needed, etc • Make it very easy to follow 77
38
Old Subject… new data coming • Problem: “I thought arginine is toxic” • Solution: No adverse data ever shown in surgical patients ti t • Drover, Heyland, Wischmeyer et al. Ann Surg 2009 Submitted • 28 RCT with 3055 patients • Primary outcomes: • Reduced infections P=0.00001
• Secondary outcomes • Reduced length of stay • - 1.74 days P=.0008 • No change in mortality 78
Arginine in Surgery and Critical Care: • AA relationships • Competitive for cell transport – Arginine Lysine A i i /L i ratios ti
• Arg increases Gln • Patient on steroids • Significant increase ARGase
• Arginine in obese trauma patient • Increase insulin sensitivity • Glucose control • Lipid lowering (TG)
•
Arginine in cardiovascular / endothelial function • Restore NO, decreases SO• Decrease platelet and leukocyte adherence
• Liver /GI function • Activates mTOR, MAP kinase to enhance protein synthesis, cell migration (enterocytes) • Improves GI function • Decrease injury from I/R • Improve GI ulcer healing
• Wound healing / muscle strength • • • • •
mTOR activation Decrease proteolysis (indirect) Increase proline Increase tensile strength Local mechanisms – DM foot
• Antioxidant effects • Increases creatine; decreases 79 inflammation
39
OHSU - Pre-operative nutrition protocol implementation • Steps to get protocol implemented – Education program • Residents, faculty arguments) Residents fac lt (science arg ments) • Nurses (science argument, add practical portion) • Administration (cost effectiveness argument)
– Finding a Physician advocate, supporter • “can’t teach old dogs new tricks”
– Determine funding or who will pay the increased “cost” • Hospital based • Patient based – Internet – Local pharmacy
– Make it easy for patients and MDs ordering • Handouts for patients: make if very easy • Make it standard unless otherwise indicated 80
Current ICU protocols in effect - OHSU • Trauma ICU: • Immune-modulating formula (IMF), Antioxidant, probiotics
• Surgery ICU: • IMF, Antioxidant, probiotic
• Medicine ICU • Probiotic
• Neurosurgery ICU • Early enteral feeding, probiotics, IMF
• BMT ICU • None
• Cardiac ICU • Anti-inflammatory diet (Mar 10) 81
40
OHSU Post-operative Nutrition Protocol Trauma • Upon IV access – Vitamin C – Selenium
• Within 48 hours – Enteral feeding tube placement – Vitamin E via feeding tube – Glutamine via feeding tube
• Gastric or small bowel feeding – Start Immune modulating formula 20 cc /h • Immune-modulating formula (IMF) contains arginine, fish oil and nucleotides • Advance as directed in protocol
82
Local problems and solutions • Problem: “How long should we give the Immuneg formula (IMF)?” ( ) modulating • Solution: No exact data yet published • Pre-op at least 5 days
– Braga 02, Gianotti 02, Ryan 09 • Post-op
– Not needed if nutritionally replete pre-op – 7 to 10 days?
83
41
ICU Nutrition Protocol Development Strategy • Nutrition “therapy” team discussion of pro and con • Does the data support pp making g it a standard protocol p ?
• Once the decision is made to develop protocol • Committee member prepares outline draft in hospital format (for incorporation into chart, electronic record) • Distribute to key services for comments (this is key)
– Committee accumulates data pro and con and presents to ICU committee or equivalent – Key here is to have clearly designated inclusion and exclusion criteria » Be as broad as possible » Error on safe side (example Arginine 2003 vs 2007) » Have financial data ready
• Implement protocol • Have references available and be ready for “attack”
84
Summary and Conclusion • Guidelines are just that, Guidelines g • No guarantees
• Clinical judgment always takes precedent over guidelines • Guidelines will change with ongoing trials, keep an open mind • For patients and health care team to support • It must be easy • It should respect work load of implementing individuals • It must be science-based and data driven, showing positive outcome
• Protocols incorporating guidelines improve outcome 85
42
Summary and Conclusion • Focus your energy on matters with greatest p potential for success • Get $ support first ! • Education: – Get an advocate with as much “horse power “ as possible – Specific education program for each group » One size fits all does not work
• You will have some failures and many who “won’t listen” • i.e. CHO loading, NPO after Midnight, probiotics
• Pick your battles carefully 86
Call to Action ¾ Consider
being more aggressive (when appropriate) with Early Enteral Nutrition protocols to meet Guideline recommendations z Starting at or near target rate for caloric g goals z Starting motility agents when the feed starts z PEP uP Protocol to be published soon 87
43
Call to Action ¾ Use z
z
z
ALL the tricks in your bag Benchmark, Educate, and Monitor data ongoing Use Enteral Quality Initiative Programs and reminders! Develop Standing Orders and Bedside Algorithms incorporating Guidelines 88
Call to Action ¾ Remember,
immune-modulating nutrition protocols may have pre pre-surgical surgical and/or post-surgical applications. z Make science based case focused on outcomes z Find a champion; determine funding z Create clear exclusion/inclusion criteria z Keep it simple for staff and patients 89
