[Retrospective evaluation of the effectiveness of gastric enteral nutrition in intensive care unit].

The duly hypocaloric intragastric nutrition is more portable and convenient to adapt in depressed consciousness patients of the intensive care unit (ICU). Daily caloric content of 16-19 kcal/kg does not allow to save the patient from significant protein losses that can be shown by serum albumin decreasing even in already restored peroral feeding. But there are no the certificated laboratory methods to indicate inadequate nutrition in due time. It is necessary to return to aprioristic taking the normocaloric feeding as the basis nutrition support of patients in ICU.
