    Objective: To determine the benefits of implementing the parenteral nutrition support unit in critically ill patients at a Level III Hospital in the city of Huancayo from January 2018 to January 2021. Methodology: This is a descriptive, comparative study. Data collection was based on medical records extracted from the pharmacy department's information system and the statistics department. The Student's t-test and chi-square test were used. Results: Before implementing the nutritional support unit, 29.8% of patients remained hospitalized for more than 22 days, which decreased to 9.5% after implementation. The percentage of patients with a BMI lower than 18.5% upon discharge dropped from 56.7% before the implementation to 17.9% afterward. The albumin level at discharge increased from 2.4 mg/dl to 3 mg/dl before and after the implementation of the nutritional support unit, a difference that was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Additionally, post-implementation, wound infections decreased from 19.3% to 7.4%, pressure ulcers from 11.7% to 6.3%, and mortality from 17.5% to 7.4%. Conclusions: It was determined that implementing the nutritional support unit is beneficial for critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit.
