Evolution of the covid19 patient with complete enteral nutrition in intensive care unit at the hospital discharge

Abstract

days. Mortality: 31% (ICU), 34% (hospital), 47% (30 days after discharge). MNT: During the ICU stay in the chronic phase (> day 7), energy delivery was 21. 90 [18.16 -27.14] kcal/kg/d and mean protein delivery was 0.93 [0.49 -1.39] g/kg/d. Functional outcomes: The evaluation of the functional and quality-of-lifeoutcomes and their correlation with the MNT is still ongoing, but Table 1 summarizes current Results. Patients experienced considerable increase in frailty as measured by the Clinical Frailty Scale, which did not recover 30 days after discharge, as well as progressive loss of muscle mass as measured by quadriceps thickness and mid-upper-arm circumference. Strength outcomes improved from ICU to hospital discharge as measured by 6-minute walk test, handgrip strength and quadriceps strength.
