Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the quality of Enteral Nutritional Therapy in pediatric intensive care units, through the application of quality indicators. Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional study, composed of a convenience sample with patients of both sexes, aged 0 to 18 years incomplete, hospitalized in pediatric intensive care units and in exclusive use of enteral nutritional therapy. Three quality indicators were applied and descriptive evaluation of the data was performed. Results: Twenty patients participated in the study, and it was observed that 25% had at least one episode of diarrhea, 45% were on digestive fasting for more than 24 hours and there was no record of tube obstruction. Conclusions: Of the results found, only the probe obstruction indicator is within the proposed target. This result corroborates with other studies conducted with adults, but studies in the pediatric area are needed to compare with the data found.
