Micronutrient use in critical care: Survey of clinical practice.

Micronutrient prescribing in ICUs in the UK is heterogeneous, with clinical scenarios where there is an evidence base or an established precedent for their use often guiding decisions to use micronutrient products. Further work to examine the potential benefits and harms on patient-oriented outcomes of micronutrient product administration should be undertaken, to facilitate their judicious and cost-effective use, with a focus on areas where they have a theoretical benefit.
