    Summary

    Malnutrition is common in chronic respiratory failure patients, especially during acute phases. This review examines nutritional status in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and proposes a refeeding protocol.

    Area of Science:

    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Clinical Nutrition

    Context:

    • Malnutrition is prevalent in patients with chronic respiratory failure.
    • Acute exacerbations of respiratory conditions often worsen nutritional status.

    Purpose:

    • To review the nutritional status of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during stable and acute phases.
    • To discuss the impact of malnutrition on respiratory muscles, pulmonary tissue, and ventilation control.
    • To propose a refeeding protocol for these patients.

    Summary:

    • This review details the nutritional challenges faced by COPD patients.
    • It explores how malnutrition affects key respiratory system components.
    • A refeeding protocol is suggested, though its prognostic impact is unproven.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the link between malnutrition and respiratory compromise in COPD.
    • Provides a framework for nutritional management in respiratory failure.
    • Underscores the need for further research on refeeding efficacy in COPD prognosis.
