Description
I am a medical student from University of Adelaide. In 2010 I completed Honours in the Discipline of Acute Care Medicine, through the Royal Adelaide Hospital Intensive Care Unit.
The focus of my research was is absorption of nutrient in the critically ill. Nutrition therapy is essential for surviving critical illness and minimising complications associated with this period. Critically ill patients are usually fed enterally, into the gastrointestinal tract. My thesis was evaluating the effect of route of feeding, via an intragastric tube, or a postpyloric tube, on the absorption of glucose. I was involved in studying the effect of the prokinetic drug, erythromycin, and its effect upon small intestinal transit time and absorption of glucose.
