Abstract
ICU survivors are growing but a persistent physical and mental disability may occur. The patients discharged from ICU are frequently malnourished and their medical nutritional support is impaired by oral intake limitation due to respiratory support such as non invasive ventilation or high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy, dysphagia and difficulties to determine energy and protein targets. ICU acquired weakness must be recognized and could be minimized by better energy intake determined by indirect calorimetry, optimal protein intake and physical activity. Early physical activity has become a pivotal element of the improvement of the physical and cognitive condition in the post ICU.
