In this episode, Drs. Dupuis and Busch, lead author and co‑author of the paper “Nutrition interventions and post‑intensive care syndrome: A narrative review,” join us to explore the complex and often overlooked challenges faced by patients following discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU). The conversation opens with a high‑level overview of post‑intensive care syndrome (PICS) and the physical, cognitive, and psychological burdens patients experience during recovery. Drs. Dupuis and Busch then walk listeners through their literature search strategy, offering insight into how current evidence was identified and synthesized. Throughout the episode, the authors highlight key nutrition‑related interventions discussed in the literature that may influence PICS outcomes, including: Immune‑modulating nutrients, the role of physical activity in recovery, considerations for nutrient delivery during and after critical illness. The episode concludes with practical, evidence‑informed strategies that clinicians can implement to help reduce the long‑term burden of PICS and better support patients as they transition out of the ICU and into recovery.
