@SCCMSE This is a great group! 👏🏼

Congratulations to our new executive board for 2026-2028! We hope to see you in Chicago for our Chapter social event Sunday, March 22, 2026 at 6 - 7:30 PM CST at the Calculus Room at Marriott Marquis. #SCCM2026

@CStoppe @ArthurvanZanten @ISICEM @ElisabethWaele @JPreiser Great term: metabolic tolerance!

Day -1 of #ISICEM2026 is off to a great start with the pre-courses! Deep dives into measuring metabolic tolerance & GI function to better guide enteral & parenteral feeding. Great discussions on optimizing icu nutrition 🏥💉📊 #ICU #CriticalCare #Nutrition

@Simon_Ingari How do you define toxic? I’d start there as I bet upper leadership has a different definition and perspective.

I've never understood why companies protect toxic managers at the expense of high performers.

If you know a #dietitian, please tell them Happy RD Day today!

“Did you get a lactate?” Vs “Do we have a lactate?” makes all the difference when communicating with your team. Inclusive language helps build rapport.

We desperately need patient phenotyping for who is and not sensitive to inulin/FOS. 😣 When it works, it works. And when it doesn’t…. 💩💩💩

@ick_real Self fulfilling prophecy.

what is it called when you were overthinking and it turns out you were right

#ASPEN26 #ICUNutrition

@lzyii Starting off with a very important slide! Top trials everyone ICU Nutrition Clinician needs to know!

@CStoppe makes a great point that perhaps there should be multiple nutritional checkpoints throughout the day vs a once a day check in for the critically ill. Is this a potential future role for machine learning/AI? #ASPEN26

Leucine has been underrated. #ASPEN26

Dudrick Research Symposium: I’m continuing to hear that better outcomes come with nutrition PLUS exercise in regard to body composition, maintenance and improvements. #ASPEN26 @ASPEN_nutrition @DrCarlaPrado

If you’re in Long Beach, I hope you’ll join us today at 10:30! @ASPEN_nutrition

Dr. Dylan Sherry from Fox Chase Cancer Center in PA discussing the multi professional Ethical Feeding Task Force he and #dietitian Jaylin Staunton started. How does your institution approach feeding decisions at end of life? #ASPEN26

Starting my @ASPEN_nutrition conference with the International Ethics Committee and several “giants” in the field. #ASPEN26

🙋🏻‍♀️Who will be in Long Beach next week? 🗓️Hope to see you at our session Sun. We’ll be answering tough questions from the ASPEN Forums! 👩‍⚕️I’ll be discussing EN Formula Selection for ICU & sharing some of my best practices for managing provider push back. @ASPEN_nutrition

@Paul_Wischmeyer @SurgicalClinics @nickmmark @TomVargheseJr @iamyourgasman @Tweet_Nutrition @laxswamy @AvrahamCooperMD @NutrioSci @ManualOMedicine @BDACriticalCare Ok but feed everyone early - if the definition of early is after resuscitation! Don’t wait 7 days just because you can.

Do you feed ICU patients on vasopressors? Evidence says it can be safe—and lifesaving when patients are adequately resuscitated. 🆕 New paper online today in @SurgicalClinics Key points 👇 • Vasopressors ≠ automatic contraindication to enteral nutrition • Dose, stability, and trends matter more than presence alone • Early trophic EN is reasonable once resuscitated • Close monitoring for intolerance is essential • PN remains critical when EN isn’t safe or feasible Not “feed everyone early” ❌ Feed the right patient, at the right time, the right way ✅ How do you approach feeding patients on pressors in your ICU? Protocol-driven or individualized? Read the full paper: authors.elsevier.com/a/1mate90QZ7Iga #ICUNutrition #FOAMcc #ICURehab @ICUnutrition @YukiKotani5

@EricTopol @AnnalsofIM @ACPIMPhysicians My understanding is that this term is more a legal reference than a practical every day term. A provider is defined by those who have ordering privileging. But it has become more frequently utilized to describe any clinician giving care.

"The term [provider] should not be used to describe physicians, nor should physicians use it to describe themselves, their team members, or their trainees." acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/AN… @AnnalsofIM @ACPIMPhysicians

@Paul_Wischmeyer @DaytonKali @TantamKate @HeidiEngel4 @nickmmark @TomVargheseJr @iamyourgasman @laxswamy @SapnaKmd @OGdukeneurosurg Not to mention, pressure injuries or falls!

Should hospital beds come with a black box warning? ⚠️ Hospital beds & bedrest are evil. They contribute to dramatic muscle loss, disability & death - especially in the elderly.
