Introduction: enteral nutrition is a key component of the management of critically ill patients. The objective was to describe the current practices of enteral nutrition support among admitted patients in the polyvalent intensive care units of two university hospitals in Abidjan. Methods: it was a retrospective descriptive study. Socio-demographic, clinical, outcome related and nutritional parameters were analyzed along the biochemical composition of blended fluid feeds. Results: a total of 101 patients (55 in one center and 46 in the other) were included. Men represented 60% and the mean age was 45.69 years. Neurological disorders were the leading cause of admission (78.57%). Nutritional status could not be reliably assessed, as weight and height were recorded in only 62.16% and 16% of patients respectively. Likewise, biological markets of malnutrition risk (albumin, transthyretin and CRP) were not routinely ordered. The mean length of stay was 10.8+- 3.79 days, and mortality was high (69.1%). Conclusion: these findings strongly support the need to implement systematic nutritional assessment ad structured enteral feeding protocols in the ICU with the aim of improving patients’ outcomes.
