摘要
AimTo describe a practice change initiative that improved the provision of enteral nutrition (EN) to patients in a New Zealand tertiary intensive care unit (ICU). MethodsThe project reviewed and summarized EN literature, amended local policy, and an evidence-based EN delivery algorithm was developed. The EN practice change initiative was implemented and evaluated. Data was collected and analyzed in a pre-audit (2009) and a post-audit (2013). ResultsComparison of the pre-audit (N = 25) and the post-audit (N = 40) data demonstrated improvements in three areas of EN delivery. The commencement of early EN within 24 h of admission was evident for a large proportion of patients in both 2009 and 2013 audits. There was a large reduction in time between the two audits for both ICU admission to achievement of EN goal rate (M = 5771 h versus M = 3379 h, p = 0006) and also for EN commencement to achievement of EN goal rate (M = 3165 h versus M = 1015 h, p = 0000). The volume of prescribed EN delivered on days 2, 4 and 6 was greater in the 2013 audit in comparison to the 2009 audit. Staff compliance with adhering to the EN policy and algorithm improved from 46% in 2009, to 95% in 2013. ConclusionsThe practice change has significantly improved the practice delivery of EN for patients in the local ICU resulting in optimal care. Relevance to clinical practiceMalnutrition is highly prevalent among intensive care patients. Strategies and initiatives that improve the delivery of enteral nutrition to the critical care population is therefore vitally important. This article describing such an initiative is thus highly relevant to all health care professionals delivering enteral nutrition in intensive and critical care units.
