PEPuPCollaborativeLogo

The PEP uP protocol was created in 2009 to enhance the delivery of enteral nutrition in critically ill patients. A pilot study was completed to test the feasibility, acceptability and safety of this new novel feeding protocol (1). It was found to be safe and acceptable to nurses but further studies were warranted to determine its effect on the delivery of enteral nutrition. In a cluster randomized controlled trial in 2010, the PEP uP protocol was demonstrated to be safe and resulted in a 12-15% increase in the amount of protein and calories received from enteral nutrition (2).

The PEP uP Collaborative was formed in 2012 and assisted sites in implementing the protocol in their ICU. Initially, we focused on Canadian ICUs and have recently observed the effect of the protocol in a 'real-life' setting among these sites (3). Twenty-four Canadian ICUs participated in the International Nutrition Survey 2013, 8 were PEP uP Collaborative sites who were actively implementing the protocol and 16 served as controls. The protocol was shown to improve the delivery of enteral nutrition in the critically ill, with enterally fed patients at PEP uP sites receiving more calories, protein and protein supplements than at control sites. 

The educational strategies and tools created for the PEP uP Collaborative were evaluated at 9 North American sites implementing the PEP uP protocol (4). Responses from the nurses surveyed showed that the teaching formats (eg. PowerPoint presentations, self-learning module) met the learning needs of most nurses and the majority of study tools were considered easy to use.
