Complicaciones hidroelectrolíticas e infecciosas en un año de nutrición parenteral en cuidados críticos

We found daily variations in glucose, potassium and magnesium, as well as a decrease in creatinine. We emphasize the frequency of hypoalbuminemia, hypocalcemia and elevation of GGT. The most important variations occurred between the second and third day, highlighting the precocity of potassium alteration and the peak of glycemia. The rate of infection related to the central venous catheter in patients with parenteral nutrition was high.
