| dc.description.abstract | Patient who admitted in the ICU require optimal amount of nutrition therapy for a better clinical outcome. The objectives of this study was to investigate the prevalence of enteral nutrition (EN) feeding adequacy, mean differences between feeding adequacy and biochemical indicator among patient and to identify the causes of under feeding. A cross sectional study was carried out at Trauma ICU, Medical ICU and 2 Delima, Hospital USM. Adult patients (2: 18 years old) who were, expected to stay for at least 24 hours in ICU and received enteral feeding during admission were included. Eligible patient was followed in ICU ward for maximum of 7 days or until death or discharge from ICU. A total of 55 patient were involved. Mean age 50.4 ± 17.2 years and mean BMI 25.7 ±6.9 kg/m2 (overweight). Among 55 patients, 34 (61.8%)did not received the recommended nutrition requirement (2: 80 of calculated energy and protein requirement). Changes in total protein , albumin and haemoglobin for 7 days between underfed and adequately fed were not statistically significant except for albumin for the first day of EN feeding. The most frequent reason for the feeding interruption were respiratory procedure (38%), operating room procedure (12%) and high GRV (> 500ml) (11 %). EN feeding was inadequate among critically ill patient as evidenced by majority (61.8%) of critically ill patient not receiving the recommended energy and protein. The causes feeding interruption should be improved via standard clinical protocol to avoid nutrition deterioration among critically ill patient. | |
