Title
Nutritional interventions on physical functioning for critically ill patients: An integrative review
Abstract
Background: Poor physical functioning (PF) is a common issue among critically ill patients. It was suggested that reasonable nutrition accelerates PF recovery. However, the details and types of nutritional interventions on the PF of different intensive care unit (ICU) patients at present have not been well analyzed yet. This study aimed to systematically synthesize nutritional interventions on PF in different ICU populations. Methods: Whittemore and Knafl’s framework was employed. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, and Cochrane Library were searched to obtain studies from January 2010 to September 2020, with a manual search of the included studies’ references. Record screening, data extraction, and quality appraisal were conducted indepen-dently by each reviewer before reaching an agreement after discussion. Results: Twelve studies were included reporting the effects of early parenteral nutrition, early enteral nutrition, early goal-directed nutrition, early adequate nutrition, higher protein delivery, higher energy delivery, low energy delivery, energy and protein delivery, intermittent enteral feeding on PF like muscle mass, muscle strength, and function. Function was the most common outcome but showed little improvements. Muscle strength outcomes improved the most. The mechanically ventilated were the most popular target ICU population. The commenced time of the interventions is usually within 24 to 48 hours after ICU admission. Conclusion: Research on nutritional interventions on critically ill patients’ PF is limited, but most are of a high level of evidence. Few intervention studies specified their evidence basis. Qualitative studies investigating timeframe of initiating feeding, perspectives of the patients’ perspectives and caregivers are warranted to advance research and further discuss this topic.
