No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Critically ill patients often exhibit a hypermetabolic state and increased energy requirements due to their critical illnesses. Those patients cannot meet their nutritional requirements through oral feeding. Therefore, the initiation of enteral nutrition (EN) is an essential intervention to fulfill the body's dietary and physiological requirements. Despite advancements in the techniques and equipment used for EN, inadequate nutritional intake is a significant issue for CIPs. It requires special attention to prevent muscle wasting and overfeeding. Critical care nurses have a key role in applying the proper nutritional care for CIPs. They are responsible for inserting and maintaining the feeding tube, delivering the feeds, and avoiding complications associated with EN.
