Most ICU patients need immediate nutritional support and if the gut works, at is reasortable to start with early enteral nutrition. Critically ill need between 20 and 30 kcal kg/day. The target range of blood glucose concentration as 4.4-6.1 mmol /L. Dietary protein in takes up to 1.5 g of protein/kg body weight are recommended. Micronutritiend dosing should be individual. This nutritional goal is more easily reached by the adoption of clinical practice guidelines, which should be accepted in practice.
