Acute Intestinal failure is the reduction of intestinal function under the minimum necessary for absorption of macronutrients and / or electrolytes. In order to provide health professionals with the essential theoretical bases that support their self-preparation for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of acute intestinal failure, a literature review was carried out at the Provincial Teaching Hospital Doctor León Cuervo Rubio, from May to November of 2018, with a theoretical systematization on the subject. We studied 125 articles that were published between 2013 and 2018 in electronic databases. A monograph on acute intestinal failure was developed in the critical patient, which contained the following knowledge nuclei: definition, classification, gastrointestinal disturbances, clinical implications, diagnosis and treatment. Acute intestinal failure in the critical patient has an important role in the occurrence of sepsis and multiorgan failure.
