| الوصف: | Introduction: The nutritional needs of critically ill patients have been the subject of intense controversy. In accordance with international guidelines, it is advocated to optimize a nutritional intake based on the following recommendation: 25-30 kcal/kg body weight per day. However, there still are authors who recommend permissive underfeeding in the first week of hospitalization. Nevertheless, energy expenditure (EE) and necessity are influenced by the catabolic phase of critical illness, which may vary over time on a patient and from patient to patient. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess if the energy needs of critically ill patients admitted in our intensive care unit (ICU) in the first week of hospitalization are in line with those recommended by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) international guidelines. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out from September to December 2019. The energy needs were evaluated by indirect calorimetry and by the Harris-Benedict equation. Stress variables were evaluated, namely, the type of pathology, hemodynamic support, sedation, temperature, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, and state at discharge. Results: Forty-six patients were included in this study, with an average energy expenditure by indirect calorimetry of 19.22 ± 4.67 kcal/kg/day. The energy expenditure was less than 20 kcal/kg/day in 63% of the measurements. The concordance rate did not show the relationship between the Harris-Benedict equation and the values of indirect calorimetry. Stress variables were analyzed, with the SOFA score as the only variable with values close to statistical significance. Conclusion: In our ICU, the energy needs of critically ill patients in the first week of hospitalization are lower than the intake recommended by the guidelines. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion |
