Saw @simonebiles.bsky.social win GOLD in Paris and now I get to hear more about her journey @BeckersHR Health IT Conference.

AI models are only as good as the data that goes into them. Is #ICUNutrition behind by not having good documentation? Nutrition interventions should be treated like medications - accountability for documentation. Can we keep up with the times? #WhatRDsDo

AI tech can help improve patient engagement in their nutrition care. Again, not replacing the dietitian, but rather providing tools for the patient to take ownership of their care and provide data for a full assessment. #WhatRDsDo

As someone who rarely completes my medical check ins prior to appts, it’s strange to hear that physicians (or at least this physician) feel that is a strong indicator of patient engagement in care. 😕

The future I see for inpatient dietitians + AI is one where we can finally separate ourselves from the computer and spend more time at the bedside and with the patients who need us most. #WhatRDsDo #ICUNutrition

One thing I’m learning this week is AI is NOT taking our jobs.

Doing some stretch learning this week at Becker’s Healthcare IT Conference. We need more #dietitians in this space for sure! So many opportunities to improve outcomes (both clinical and financial) for our patients utilizing AI and other tech.

Sometimes I wish we would have chosen dietician and not dietitian.

#Dietitians placing feeding tubes with image guided tech have resulted in: 👉Fewer trips to IR 👉Fewer x-rays 👉Quicker time to initiate EN I am so proud of our team! #WhatRDsDo #NutritionMatters @doseofdavis.bsky.social

#WhatRDsDo: Place Feeding Tubes! This week, we learned about image-guided feeding tube placement! Involving #dietitians lets nursing focus on ⬆️-level tasks while RDs practice at their full scope. Image-guided tubes are SAFER, but…

Please contact your congresspeople to let them know you oppose the propose changes to the Farm Bill. Very easy way to send a message to your reps here: www.votervoice.net/EATRIGHT/1/C... It’s takes 5min!

Lots of sage already! Send me your recipe recommendations, pls!

📣SCCM Friends📣 It is time! I am proposing a new “Critical Care Nutrition KEG” for @sccmcriticalcare.bsky.social and would appreciate your support. We need to collect 50 signatures to submit the proposal to council. 🚨SCCM Members: Will you please sign? tinyurl.com/56xuh7m5

Our #EmoryDI intern, Jaden Asuncion, teaching us about Ludwig’s Angina today. #WhatRDsDo #NutritionSupport #RD2Be

🎉I can’t believe it’s already time to close out National Nutrition Month! This month we CONNECTED 🍑w/ our community by hosting a food drive for Atlanta Community Food Bank 🧑‍⚕️w/ our clinical staff through food & nutrition trivia and friendly games of connect four 🧑‍🤝‍🧑& w/ each other at a team breakfast

Me: ugh why does my head hurt so bad?! Also me: forgot to eat lunch today 😐

Signs of vitamin A toxicity include all the entries marked with the little skull and crossbones icon

“Physicians at Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, say they’ve now treated a handful of unvaccinated children who were given so much vitamin A that they had signs of liver damage.” Just because they are vitamins doesn’t mean they are harmless. This is so sad and avoidable!

Wonderful panel discussion today at #ASPEN25 on social media use in nutrition support! They are much better at insta than I am! Give them a follow. 📸consultnutritionsupport 📸paulwischmeyermd

Would you accept getting a blood gas that is accurate only 14% of the time? Then why do we accept using predictive equations that are only accurate about that often? -Dr. Paul Wischmeyer #ASPEN25 #ICUNutrition

Dr. Lindsey Russell sharing some of the basics of #indirectcalorimetry. We know equations are NOT accurate on the individual patient level. Here are a few conditions that change someone’s REE even further outside the ranges of predictive equations. #ASPEN25 #ICUNutrition

Idk why it never occurred to me but we always complain about not getting weights, unable to accurately weigh patients but IC doesn’t need weights to be measured! You can still monitor changes but the actual number might not matter anymore if using IC #ASPEN25

Dr. Jack Pasquale discussing information from a 1977 article that still applies today! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/98649/ #ASPEN25 #ICUNutrition

Over and over we keep hearing that #parenteralnutrition is: ✅Safe ✅effective 🚫does not increase risk for infection 🔺probably should be used more as supplement to EN #ASPEN25 #ICUNutrition #WhatRDsDo

Critical care section forum at #ASPEN25 is PACKED! #ICUNutrition #WhatRDsDo

I’ve been saying this for years, once muscle is lost it is VERY difficult to gain it back. Data from @lchapple.bsky.social confirms this! (Wish I had snapped a photo of that chart!) #ASPEN25 #ICUNutrition

Do you enterally feed patients on vasopressors? How about just 1? What about 2? #ASPEN25 #ICUNutrition

I’ve been sharing via both the old place and the new (here) during #ASPEN25 and it’s been challenging but I still don’t feel like the #ICUNutrition or nutrition support population is here yet. Prove me wrong! I where are the nutrition support people?

I love the concept of “big data” and use of AI & other technologies to make our work more efficient, perhaps more accurate, but I share Dr. Jensen’s concerns that the data points aren’t always accurate. So what does that mean for our AI systems? Ex: patient weights #ASPEN25

One of my favorite topics this morning at #ASPEN25: Thinking outside the box for the next 50 years of clinical nutrition with Dr. Gordon Jensen and @ryanhurt9296.bsky.social What does thinking outside the box look like?

There are still so many feeding decisions being made in the ICU based on old or outdated thinking. Come learn about a few of those myths on Tuesday! #ICUNutrition #ASPEN25

Considering circadian rhythms in the ICU: we know in real life circadian clocks are affected by many changes including timing of eating. Results are often changes in how we metabolize nutrients. What impact might the have on metabolism for the critically ill? #ASPEN25

I find this data so interesting but would be curious to know how #dietitian manager SBO-O would change the daily weight gain. #ASPEN25

Short bowel syndrome is not just a specific measurement of leftover gut. It’s the lack of ability to absorb and maintain adequate nutrients (protein, micro nutrients, electrolytes, etc) as a result of a shortened gut. Enteral Nutrition is not always a hard and fast contraindication. #ASPEN25

So far I’m just seeing @brownam130.bsky.social and myself here! 😜 Anyone else attending #ASPEN25 in Columbus this week?

Dr. Ajay Jain, ASPEN President, starting off #ASPEN25 with asking AI what short bowel syndrome is!

If you’re on Bluesky you’re probably already an avid social media user. Still, though, if you’ll be at the ASPEN conference next week I hope you’ll join me & others in this panel discussion!

Less than a week away from the annual ASPEN conference! Any Bluesky friends attending?

Feedback: This soup is very corn forward. Chef: There is no corn in this soup. Feedback: We need to find ways to make the soup less corn-forward. This pretty much sums up what’s it like to be in leadership. 🤪

Both a blessing and curse, I can almost always tell when someone is lying to me.

Dr. Coopersmith: starting with “human stuff” then moving to “mouse stuff” this morning. #SCCM2025 #ICUNutrition

Age yourself with a movie your saw in theaters.

Don’t miss the presentation tomorrow at 1:30! #SCCM2025 #ICUNutrition

Guideline for the Prevention of Stress-Related Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Critically Ill Adults 👉#enteralnutrition might be protective for patients at ⬇️ risk of stress-related UGIB. 👉Pts w/ 1+ risk factors> Rx SUP, although MV alone 🚫 a risk factor. #SCCM2025 @sccmcriticalcare.bsky.social

Absolutely love the idea of a more sustainable ICU. Wondering why food & nutrition sustainability measures not part of these recommendations? @sccmcriticalcare.bsky.social #ICUNutrition #SCCM2025 #GreenICU

Excited to learn more about sustainability in the ICU. #SCCM2025

I wonder how much of the fact that it was a Black woman who championed the change from food guide pyramid to MyPlate plays in all the “MAHA” people not realizing we haven’t used the pyramid since 2011. Thanks [Michelle] Obama!

One time I was absolutely berated by a physician on a team call when I suggested that TPN was not associated with increased infection risk. 🤔 I wonder how that doc is doing these days… #ICUNutrition #SCCM2025

What say you, #SCCM2025? #ICUNutrition

Phil Ayers and Paul Wischmeyer discussing multi-chamber TPN bags early this morning!
