    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-04-17) Peña Zúñiga, Pilar; Ponce Castillo, Diana Antonia
    Early nutritional intervention in critically ill patients has shown several benefits, including reduced complications and improved clinical outcomes in patients at nutritional risk. This secondary research, titled "Critical Review: Effect of Omega-3 Supplementation on Clinical Outcomes in Adult Critically Ill Patients," aimed to investigate the benefits of omega-3 supplementation in critically ill adults. The clinical question was: What is the effect of omega-3 supplementation on clinical outcomes (mortality and hospital stay) in critically ill adult patients? Evidence-based nutrition (NuBE) methodology was used. The search for information was conducted in PUBMED, BIBLIOTECA VIRTUAL EN SALUD, COCHRANE LIBRARY, SEVIER, DYNAMED, SPRINGER, WILEY ONLINE LIBRARY, KARGER, with 43 articles found, and 10 were selected for critical reading evaluation using the CASPE tool. The randomized clinical trial titled "The Effect of Omega-3 Supplementation on Clinical and Biochemical Parameters in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial" was selected. The critical commentary concluded that omega-3 supplementation could have beneficial effects on the immune system of patients with viral infections and improve several parameters of respiratory and renal function in critically ill COVID-19 patients. However, further clinical studies are needed to validate these findings.
