Objectives: Residents |
- Outline
the clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of nutrition
therapy for malnutrition associated with lung disease.
- Identify
recommended nutritional interventions for patients with
respiratory insufficiency that includes C02 retention
and enhanced ventilatory drive; explain how these interventions
alter the respiratory quotient (RQ).

the nutrient composition of enteral nutrition formulas designed
for critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation. Explain
the mechanism of action of each of the primary constituents
of these formulae.
- Outline
the recommended nutritional regimen for patients with cystic
fibrosis.
- Identify
the immune factors that mediate inflammatory response in
