Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Multicenter study on incidence of total parenteral nutrition complications in the critically-ill patient. ICOMEP study. Part II].
To assess enteral nutrition complications in a prospective cohort of patients admitted to the ICU. ⋯ Gastrointestinal complications with enteral nutrition are frequent, result in insufficient caloric intake and definitive withdrawal of diet in a significant number of cases. Early enteral nutrition is not associated with an increased number of complications. Episodes of increase of the gastric residue do not increase the incidence of pneumonia. Other infectious complications are within the range of what has been published and seem to be little modified by the use of enteral nutrition.
