Resumen

Los probióticos son microorganismos vivos que ingeridos en una dosis y cepa adecuada  proveen efectos beneficiosos al huésped.

El intestino cumple un rol muy importante en relación a la inmunidad del paciente. En el paciente críticamente enfermo las funciones inmunológicas se encuentran alteradas por distintas causas, como puede ser la propia inflamación, el uso de antibióticos, la translocación bacteriana.  La administración de algunas cepas probióticas ha demostrado ser beneficioso para mantener el buen funcionamiento del epitelio intestinal y así disminuir la posibilidad de contraer diversas infecciones características de los pacientes internados en la UCI.

Si bien ha sido estudiada la inocuidad y el beneficio de algunas cepas probióticas  en esta población de pacientes, actualmente su  uso rutinario no es recomendado
