How is it the case that some people can lose significant muscle
mass while they are being cared for on the Intensive Care Unit
(ICU)? What can practitioners do to help avoid this? How do we
integrate a dynamic stimulus and react to new research relating to
nasogastric feeding?
In this piece you will hear about a randomised controlled pilot
study investigating the effect of intermittent versus continuous
nasogastric feeding on muscle mass and function in intensive care
unit survivors.
Hugh Montgomery presents with his guest, Dr
Angela McNelly, clinical researcher at the ISEH
and the UCL Centre for Human Health and Performance.
