IIUM Kuantan Campus COVID-19 Guidelines

COVID-19 has brought substantial morbidity and mortality to the world, Malaysia and the state of Pahang. The recent surge in the number of brought-in-dead cases and overburdened healthcare has made the condition worse. The current spread of the variant of concern, the delta variant, has become a threat to the campus. Thus, the IIUM Kuantan Campus Operation Room (OpRoom) has been continued in service since the previous tenure. The main function of OpRoom is to become the coordination centre of matters related to COVID-19 in IIUM Kuantan community and to communicate with Kuantan District Health Office on regular basis. With the establishment of Kulliyyah Taskforce (KTF), the handling of issues pertaining to COVID-19 can become smoother through the process of empowerment. This guideline is published to facilitate the management of COVID-19 in IIUM Kuantan Campus

The Impact Of Indirect Calorimetry Guided Feeding Protocol On Clinical Outcomes In Critically Ill Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial (The Ic Study)

Background: International guidelines recommend the use of indirect calorimetry (IC) to measure energy requirements in critically ill patients. This study aimed to assess the effects of IC-guided nutrition vs standard-nutrition care on clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. Methods: Sixty mechanically ventilated patients expected to stay in intensive care unit (ICU) more than 3 days were randomized into a group in which energy needs were determined by IC (IC-group) and a group prescribed with 25kcal/kg/day reflecting standard care (SC-group). The primary outcome was the ICU length of stay(LOS). Secondary outcomes included change in quadriceps muscle layer thickness (QMLT, ultrasound) during the first 10 days of ICU admission, hospital-LOS, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU mortality and 28-day-in hospital mortality. Results: Mean energy requirement was similar in both groups. The IC group received 85.63%, whereas the SC group received 76.83% of their energy goals (P=0.002). The protein intake was higher in the IC group (89.58% vs 77.66%, p=0.007). Both groups had a median of 8.0 days ICU-LOS (p=0.424). QMLT was decreased in both groups by 21.9% vs. 25.3% at day10 (p < 0.001), respectively. However, there were no significant differences observed in muscle mass changes and other secondary clinical outcomes between the groups. Conclusion: IC-guided nutrition did not appear to affect significantly any clinical outcomes compared to the SC group due to the limitation in Sample size. Clinicaltrials.gov identifier no. NCT0447925
