Nutritional therapy is of fundamental importance in the care of critically ill patients,being part of the essential care in intensive care units (ICU), associated with evidence thatproves that the nutritional status directly interferes in the clinical evolution of critically ill patients.Routine monitoring has the main objective of ensuring that the nutritional intervention is chosenand provided as planned and prescribed. This review sought to demonstrate the monitoring ofenteral nutritional therapy (ENT) in critically ill patients in studies conducted in Brazil. Methods:A search was conducted in the PubMed, LILACS and SciELO databases, between 2014 and August2019, on quality indicators in NET related to the adequacy of the administration of the infusedvolume, caloric and protein value, in adult patients (> 18 years) under intensive care. Results:On average, an adequacy of the infused volume of 74.1% was observed, a caloric adequacy of71.8% and protein of 67.3% of the prescribed value. The most cited reasons for interrupting theadministration of NET were gastrointestinal complications and fasting for procedures. Conclusions:The findings showed that, according to quality indicators, NET offered to critically ill patients didnot reach the pre-established goal. However, they support the development of strategies to correctinadequacies of this therapy
