Although highly efficacious for cardiopulmonary failure, VV-ECMO introduces the potential for additional metabolic complexities, including altered thermoregulation, increased inflammatory burden, and, traditionally, impaired physical activity from increased lengths of intensive care unit (ICU) stays and prolonged periods of bedrest. Emerging data suggest that comprehensive metabolic and rehabilitative strategies can attenuate muscle loss, reduce ICU-acquired weakness, and improve post-discharge outcomes. This narrative review will discuss the metabolic demands faced by VV-ECMO patients and current strategies to address them. We characterize the catabolic state during VV-ECMO while highlighting the metabolic demand placed on patients. We then examine nutritional support on VV-ECMO, including the assessment of energy expenditure and its limitations, optimal calorie-protein requirements, timing and route of nutritional support, and outcomes associated with nutritional adequacy based on current evidence and guidelines. Next, we explore the potential of pharmacologic agents to possibly reduce hypermetabolism and reverse catabolism. Finally, we discuss the role of physical rehabilitation in VV-ECMO patients by focusing on physical therapy, mobilization, and strategies such as awake ECMO to facilitate activity.

Invited global experts with diverse disciplines and practice contexts (<i>n</i> = 30) fully completed surveys; consensus was determined at 75% agreement. Three surveys and rounds of voting resulted in 15 guidance statements. Notable points include: (a) using usual intake as the comparator for reduced dietary intake rather than energy requirement, (b) use of gastrointestinal symptoms and nutrition impact symptoms to determine challenges with absorption or assimilation, rather than solely gastrointestinal conditions, and (c) using clinical judgment to determine severity of these symptoms. The final criterion is “less than or equal to 50% dietary intake in the last week or any reduction in intake greater than 2 weeks OR severe gastrointestinal or nutrition impact symptoms (e.g., dysphagia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) as a result of an acute or chronic condition or therapy.” Future work should confirm the feasibility of this criterion in clinical practice and its criterion validity within the GLIM framework.</p>","PeriodicalId":16668,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition","volume":"50 5","pages":"614-624"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jpen.70073","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148020540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
