Agenda Items

- Review of post-op frailty and poor mobility progress.

Discussion Points
- Physiotherapy Update (S. Jenkins): Pt mobilising 5 m with Zimmer frame and AO2. Progress limited by severe lethargy and postural dizziness. Pre-admission BMI 18.2 kg/m²; significant sarcopenia noted. Currently struggles to tolerate morning rehab due to low energy.
- Dietetic Update (M. Vance): Oral intake < 50% of estimated requirements since admission. High risk of refeeding syndrome resolved; bloods stable. Weight down 1.5 kg in 7 days (current weight 54.0 kg). Needs high-protein, high-energy intervention to support tissue healing and physical rehabilitation.
- Medical/Nursing Update (Dr Thorne / C. Adams): Labs show Vit D deficiency and Hb 102 g/L. Bowels constipated, likely contributing to poor appetite. Currently on paracetamol 1 g PO QID and colecalciferol 800 IU PO OD.
Decisions Made
- Commence Fortisip Compact Protein 125 mL PO BD between meals.
- Shift daily physiotherapy sessions to 10:30 (approx. 1 hour post-breakfast and morning ONS) to maximise energy availability.
- Prescribe macrogol 3350 (Movicol®) 1 sachet PO BD to resolve constipation and improve oral intake.
- Fortify all ward meals with skimmed milk powder and butter (Food First approach).
Action Items
- Mark Vance: Update electronic prescribing for Fortisip Compact Protein 125 mL PO BD and request kitchen fortification for Pt Pendelton by 16:00 today.
- Dr Aris Thorne: Prescribe macrogol 3350 1 sachet PO BD on drug chart immediately.
- Chloe Adams: Commence strict 72-hour food and fluid intake chart; ensure HCA assists pt with morning ONS at 09:30 prior to physio.
