ABSTRACT
In a retrospective study fifty patients admitted to a combined medical and surgical intensive care unit were surveyed to see the pattern of nutritional support. The routine practices of initial assessment and monitoring of the nutritional state, ordering and technique of feeding, routes of administration and complications were noted over a 3 week period. This gives an idea of the pattern of care and problems associated with nutritional support of the critically ill in this part of the world. The average cost of parenteral nutrition for three weeks was approximately Rs. 25,960 ($865 approx.) per patient.
