Abstract：The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism(ESPEN)officially published a guideline on nutri-tion in the intensive care unit(ICU)in September 2023,which is a revision based on the previous 2019 guideline.For the pur-pose of optimizing the current nutrition therapy in ICU,this guideline summarized 56 recommendations and 3 statements,to update the strategy of the timing,route,dose,and composi-tion of nutrition support.The energy and nutrient requirements of critically ill patients differ from those of general patients.The optimal timing,appropriate routes,dosages,and composi-tions for implementing nutritional support therapy in critically ill patients have been a challenging aspect of clinical practice in recent years and a focal point for future research.The 2023 ESPEN(European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabo-lism)guidelines on nutrition for critically ill patients hold sig-nificant implications for the clinical application of nutritional therapy in this population.Furthermore,they contribute to guiding the standardization and research development of nutri-tional therapy for critically ill patients in China.
