Advances in HIV treatment allow ICU admission for acute issues. Nutritional support is crucial, preferably via enteral routes, tailored to the patient's metabolic state. Specific nutrient supplements haven't shown clinical benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Nutritional Science

Context:

  • Improved treatments for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection have altered patient prognoses.
  • HIV-infected individuals may require Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission for acute complications.
  • These patients often present with pre-existing nutritional impairments, further complicated by acute illness.

Purpose:

  • To outline the considerations for specialized nutritional support in HIV-infected patients admitted to the ICU.
  • To emphasize the preferred route and characteristics of nutritional support.
  • To review the evidence regarding the efficacy of specific pharmaco-nutrient substrates.

Summary:

  • Nutritional impairments are common in HIV-infected patients, especially those with acute complications requiring ICU care.

  • Enteral nutrition is the recommended route for nutrient delivery when feasible.
  • Nutritional support should be individualized based on the patient's metabolic status, similar to general critical care guidelines.
  • Current evidence does not support the routine use of specific supplements like glutamine, arginine, or modified lipids to improve immunological status or clinical outcomes in HIV/AIDS patients.

    • Impact:

    • Provides guidance for clinicians on optimizing nutritional management in a vulnerable patient population.
    • Highlights the importance of tailored enteral nutrition over unproven specific substrate supplementation.
    • Informs evidence-based practice in critical care for patients with HIV infection.
