Course Description

Adequate nutrition plays a key role in patients treated in anesthesiology and intensive care units, as it reduces morbidity and mortality by counteracting the catabolic stress response, preventing muscle mass loss, and providing immunomodulatory benefits. Malnutrition is a common problem in the ICU and is associated with a higher risk of infections, longer hospital stays, and worse survival outcomes. Therefore, nutritional support is a crucial component of therapy that can improve clinical outcomes by shortening both ICU and overall hospital length of stay and supporting recovery to full functional capacity.

We invite you to an intensive training course dedicated to the practical aspects of nutrition in critically ill patients.
This is the first course of its kind in Poland, combining practical calorimetry, ultrasound, and individualized nutritional therapy in critically ill patients.

The training covers both theoretical foundations and extensive hands-on workshops – from nutritional status assessment and energy requirements to monitoring the effectiveness of nutritional interventions.
