Importância de atingir o objetivo calórico proteico de pacientes em terapia nutricional internados na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva em um hospital de Cuiabá-MT

Abstract

Patients have a higher risk of developing malnutrition when they are inserted in the hospital. This malnutrition can have serious consequences for the evolution of the disease and hospitalization. Complications higher number of infections, complications with the diet, longer hospital stays, increased morbidity and mortality. To prevent the rapid evolution of malnutrition in hospitals, they have been employed routinely using Enteral Nutrition Therapy (TNE), which should start at the latest after 24 hours of hospitalization (in case of severely malnourished patients). In Intensive Care Units (ICU) of the hospital case is no different, the TNE has been most responsible for the nutrition of hospitalized patients. ICUs are complex units, where the most serious cases to the hospital. Because of this, the aim of this study was to evaluate the time to reach the calorie and protein goal of 78 patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit of a private hospital in Cuiabá for two months. From the results: It was found that 54.41% of patients were exclusively TNE and the prevalence of severe malnutrition were also most (61.53%). The calorie and protein goal were achieved in less than 3 days, and the death rate was 17.28%, however, the discharge rate was 44.44%. With the results we can conclude that the use of easy to use tools such as the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and rapid nutritional intervention is crucial for the proper development of the patient within these units. It is of utmost importance to cooperation together a multidisciplinary team to assist the patient, thus your chances of rapid recovery without sequelae are higher.
