Despite its benefits, early enteral nutrition (EN) is considered controversial in critically ill patients with severe hemodynamic failure. Objective: To evaluate the tolerance and safety of early EN in a consecutive group of patients receiving venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe hemodynamic failure. Materials and Methods: Prospective observational study performed in a cardiac surgical intensive care unit (ICU) during a 1â€year period. All adult patients receiving VA ECMO for severe hemodynamic failure unresponsive to conventional therapies were included. Nutrition support was provided during the study period following the established ICU nutrition protocol. Energy target was 25 kcal/kg, to be reached over 4 days. Nutrition tolerance was defined as the ratio of delivered nutrition to target nutrition, expressed as a percentage.
