On the first day, under the title of “Mind the
Gap” the focus of the meeting was clinical nutrition
therapy in adults.
Clinical nutrition plays a major role in patient
progress, different special nutrients substrates
have shown positive impact in patients receiving
clinical nutrition, like Omega 3 FA, Glutamine and
Taurine. Cancer-associated malnutrition,
cachexia, and sarcopenia are common in cancer
patients and have meaningful adverse clinical
consequences. Moreover, enteral nutrition as a
fundamental part of clinical nutrition have been
discussed along with role of supplemental
parenteral nutrition.
Clinical nutrition day “Mind the Gap” offered a platform for 100 delegates including
oncologists, dietitians, Intensivists and clinical pharmacists from the middle east
countries to share the newest insights from research, exchange best practices and
discuss patient cases in the field of Clinical Nutrition. The meeting was chaired by
Prof. George Abi Saad and Prof. Mohamed Abd El Khalik, two leading regional experts
in the field of clinical nutrition therapy.
On the second day, under the title of “Time Always Matters” the focus of the meeting
was addressing the impact of the perioperative fluid administration on the clinical outcomes.
Perioperative fluid therapy is a highly debated topic. Its aim is to sustain or restore
effective circulating blood volume during the perioperative period. Enhanced Recovery
After Surgery (ERAS) included optimal perioperative fluid management as an important
component of its pathways.
