    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-12-29) Zeballos Alcalde, Cinthia Mónica; Inocente Camones, Miguel Angel
    This secondary research, titled as a critical review: 'Parenteral glutamine supplementation in critically ill adult patients,' aimed to determine the improvement in clinical outcomes (hospital infections, mechanical ventilation days, and ICU length of stay) in critically ill adult patients who received parenteral glutamine supplementation. The clinical question was: Does parenteral glutamine supplementation improve clinical outcomes (hospital infections, mechanical ventilation days, and ICU length of stay) in critically ill adult patients? The Evidence-Based Nutrition (NuBE) methodology was used. Information was searched in Science Direct, PubMed, HINARI, Lilacs, Latindex, Scielo, ERIHPLUS, Dialnet, Redalyc, and Cochrane, finding 62 articles, of which 21 were selected and evaluated using the CASPe critical appraisal tool. Ultimately, the systematic review titled 'Parenteral glutamine supplementation in critical illness: a systematic review' was selected, with a level II evidence and a Strong Recommendation Grade according to the researcher's expertise. The critical commentary concluded that there is sufficient evidence to affirm the beneficial effect of intravenous glutamine supplementation in reducing hospital mortality, infectious complications, mechanical ventilation days, and ICU length of stay.
