Feeding the Critically Ill: What Actually Works in the ICU

Feeding critically ill patients is anything but simple. Between proning, sedation, procedures, and constant interruptions, nutrition support in the ICU often falls short, despite strong evidence and best intentions.

In our latest DNS Podcast episode, Christina Rollins is joined by Susy Cohen, a critical care dietitian who has led measurable improvements in enteral and parenteral nutrition through practical, protocol-driven, interdisciplinary approaches.

🎙️ In this episode, we discuss:
• Feeding prone patients
• Early enteral nutrition for intubated patients
• Rate-based feeding to improve adequacy
• Collaborating with pharmacy to ensure appropriate PN use

If you work in critical care nutrition—or want strategies that actually work at the bedside—this episode is for you.
