🙋‍♂️Obese patients use carbs + protein >> fat for energy vs. non-obese in illness

This = ⬆️ muscle wasting in ICU for obese pts

⚠️ The ICU is NOT place to put obese ICU pts on diet!

A new tool has been launched to support people with #MND to make decisions about tube feeding. ‘Gastrostomy tube – is it for me?’ helps people explore whether they want the intervention now, and allows them to revisit their decision at a later time.
