ESPEN 2026 Satellite Symposium Highlights: ICU and beyond

Everything will be good. Selective focus on a radiant doctor smiling while trying to put her retired female patient in a cheerful frame of mind during a regular visit at home.

Nutrition from the ICU to recovery

In this ESPEN 2026 satellite symposium, Prof. Elisabeth De Waele, Prof. Arthur van Zanten and Prof. Paul Wischmeyer discuss how to deliver nutrition therapy across the full patient journey after critical illness. They explain why energy and protein intake often drops sharply after ICU discharge, and why hospital food alone is often not enough during recovery on the ward.

What you will learn

You will learn why starting enteral nutrition early may help preserve gut function and absorption, and how to wean tube feeding safely, only once tube feeding plus oral intake meets the patient’s needs. The speakers explain why keeping the feeding tube when patients move to the ward can help prevent gaps in intake, and discuss the role of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) and individualised nutrition support after discharge. They also share practical tips to implement change in your hospital: keep it simple, assign ownership and measure progress.

Watch the highlights

Watch the video to hear why the speakers see nutrition as therapy, not just support, and how small gaps in nutrition delivery can add up. The highlights include practical tips to improve nutrition care in the ICU, on the ward and after discharge home.
