MONARES ZEPEDA, Enrique  and  GALINDO MARTIN, Carlos Alfredo. Giving a nutritional FAST HUG in the Intensive Care Unit. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.5, pp.2212-2219. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.3305/nh.2015.31.5.8668.

Implementing a nutrition support protocol in critical care is a complex and dynamic process that involves the use of evidence, education programs and constant monitoring. To facilitate this task we developed a mnemonic tool called the Nutritional FAST HUG (F: feeding, A: analgesia, S: stools, T: trace elements, H: head of bed, U: ulcers, G: glucose control) with a process also internally developed (both modified from the mnemonic proposed by Jean Louis Vincent) called MIAR (M: measure, I: interpret, A: act, R: reanalysis) showing an easy form to perform medical rounds at the intensive care unit using a systematic process.
