Overview

Authors have evaluated retrospectively 182 critically ill patients with total or supplemental enteral nutrition. They used this type of nutrition in79,9% patients hospitalised longer than 5 days. They found significant difference in early tolerability of enteral nutrition between survived (1,9 ± 1,2days) and deceased (2,4 ± 1,4 days) patients. Authors found similar difference in enteral energy intake 3rd – 5th day and every day in nitrogen intakebetween survived and deceased patients. The most frequent complication was high grade residual in stomach, which was in 36% of patients, i.e. 49%of all complications.
