AbstractAdequate nutrition of the critically ill patient is a cornerstone of intensive care medicine. While the enteral route should be used whenever possible, parenteral supplementation of insufficient enteral nutrition has been shown to be beneficial and is not considered to be lethal anymore. The daily energy supply should not exceed 20-30 kcal/kgBW in the acute phase of the illness. Vitamins and trace elements should be supplied daily to avoid any deficiency.
