Na and Mg iones were not supplemented in PN, in patients with high levels.Results Age: average 67 years. Sex: 62% male; 38% female. Died: 54%. The results obtained are shown in table 1.View this table:Abstract 4CPS-167 Table 1 Sodium and magnesium alterations, before and during the PN supplementation46% of patients had hypermagnesaemia at the start of PN, and about 30% started with hypernatraemia; in both cases it was maintained throughout the period of PN.Of the total number of patients, 5 developed hypermagnesaemia and 3 hypernatraemia during PN supplementationConclusion and relevance Critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 had a high percentage of sodium and magnesium levels, 32% and 46%, respectively, at the time of starting PN, mainly associated with the use of mechanical ventilation. These alterations continued during PN supplementation in most cases.Conflict of interest No conflict of interest
