Dominican Medical Societies Launch National Consensus on Critical Patient Nutrition

The Dominican Society of Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition (SODONEP) and the Dominican Society of Critical Care Medicine (SODEMECU) have signed an institutional agreement to develop a National Consensus on Nutritional Management of Critical Patients. This collaborative initiative aims to strengthen nutritional care standards in intensive care units across the Dominican Republic. Proper nutritional support is essential for critically ill patients, as it helps prevent complications, supports immune function, and improves clinical outcomes. The agreement was formalized during a national congress and represents a coordinated effort by healthcare professionals to establish evidence-based guidelines for optimal patient care in ICU settings.
