Jessica Pohlenz-Saw

Jessica is the Dietetic Coordinator in the Royal Perth Hospital Intensive Care Unit and has over 12 years of dietetic experience. Her passion for nutrition in the critically ill was sparked during her time in London, in the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, where she worked as a specialist critical care dietitian at Kings College Hospital. She advocates strongly for the role of nutrition in recovery and is particularly interested in long stay ICU patients and how we can achieve the best functional outcomes for patients. She implemented indirect calorimetry as standard practice in the RPH ICU in 2022 and has since done over 200 measures on ventilated patients.
