Abstract

Objective: To summarize the best evidence for nutritional management of critically ill patients after cardiac surgery. Methods: Using nutritional management of critically ill post-cardiac surgery patients as the evidence-based question and referring to the ‘6S’ evidence model, domestic and international medical research databases (CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, etc.) were searched for reports on nutritional management in this population, including guidelines, systematic reviews, expert consensus statements, and clinical trials, with the search timeframe set from March 2022 to August 2023. Three professional researchers analyzed the retrieved documents, and relevant evidence was synthesized, integrated, summarized, and analyzed. Results: A total of 5 articles were included, comprising 3 clinical controlled trials, 1 research report, and 1 literature review. Conclusion: Targeted nutritional management for critically ill patients after cardiac surgery, including early enteral nutrition interventions, can significantly improve enteral nutrition tolerance, nutritional status, and prognosis, facilitating patient recovery.
