Abstract:
Refeeding syndrome (RFS) is a potentially fatal complication of clinical nutritional therapy. Patients in intensive care unit (ICU) consuming nutrients under high stress and high metabolism are more likely to develop RFS, which is closely related to the poor prognosis and higher mortality. However, due to the lack of characteristic clinical manifestations of RFS and the incomplete evaluation of risk factors, there are few reports on the related research of RFS risk prediction model, and it is easily ignored by clinicians. The key to prevention and treatment is to clarify the risk factors of RFS in ICU patients, early identify high-risk patients and initiate intervention. In this paper, the diagnostic criteria, current domestic and abroad situation, risk prediction indexes and preventive therapy of RFS are reviewed. It provides a reference for constructing an RFS risk prediction model that is in line with our national conditions, in order to improve the ability of medical staff to early identify RFS and improve the survival rate of ICU patients.
