Critical Care Section Forum: High versus Low Protein in Critical Illness: Reconciling Conflicting Evidence and Translating Contemporary Trials into Clinical Practice

• Practical framework for reconciling conflicting evidence, interpreting landmark clinical trials, and incorporating contemporary findings into individualized patient care.
• How to use methodological strengths and limitations, evidence hierarchy, and biologic plausibility, to determine which patients may benefit from higher protein delivery, which patients may be harmed, and where important knowledge gaps remain
• Discussion of future research priorities, including optimal timing of protein administration, phase-specific nutrition strategies, precision nutrition approaches, and implications for future directions.

Join the Critical Care Section for an insightful review of protein in critical illness and incorporating the most recent literature into clinical practice.
