Abstract

The three organic (carbon- based) fuels used by the human body are
carbohydrates, proteins & lipids. The energy field from the combustion of
these fuels is measured at heat production in kilocalories (KCal) per gram
of substrate. (Bistrian and Mc cowen 2008)
Nutritional support refers to enteral or parenteral delivery of
carbohydrates, proteins, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, trace elements &
fluids to critically all patients. (Mc Clave et al., 2009)
The relationship between nutritional status & patients outcomes is
of particular interest in chronically critically ill patients. Those patients
who survive the life-threatening phase of critical illness but have prolonged
hospitalizations because of their dependence on critical care support
services. (Daly et al., 2001)
Malnutrition, irrespective of the presence of injury & stress, is an
independent risk factor for morbidity & mortality, there for early
identification & appropriate action is critical & appropriate nutrition
support results in decreased duration of ventilation, decreased
complications & decreased costs. (Holmes. 2007)
