Clinical Decision Support Tool

ICU Nutrition Engine™ provides calculated nutrition targets to support clinical decision-making in intensive care settings. This is a decision support tool — not an autonomous prescriber. All outputs require physician review, clinical judgment, and formal prescription orders.

What INE Is

• Calculates daily energy (kcal) and protein (g) targets
• Considers weight, clinical conditions, and nutrition route
• Supports physician decision-making — does not replace it
• Works offline — no network dependency

What INE Is NOT

• NOT an order generator
• NOT a formula selector
• NOT a rate/volume calculator
• NOT a replacement for clinical judgment

Evidence Base

Calculations follow published guidelines from:

• ASPEN — American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition
• ESPEN — European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism

v1.4.20 Capabilities

• Weight selection (Actual vs. Adjusted based on BMI)
• Energy targets (25 kcal/kg ± disease modifiers)
• Protein targets (1.2–2.0 g/kg based on clinical state)
• Route allocation (EN / PN / Hybrid)
• Safety state decisions (PROCEED / HOLD / REASSESS)
• Disease-specific nutrition strategy guidance
• Route rationale explanations
