Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to summarize enteral (EN) and parenteral (PN) nutrition techniques, indications and contraindications, existing formulae and usual complications and their prevention. Early feeding is briefly discussed and the timing for starting nutritional support EN or PN is explained. It states the importance of creating local nutrition ICU protocols, in order to allow the integration of local treatment possibilities and formulae, and describing the respective tasks and responsibilities of each nutritional care team member, such as nurses, dieticians and doctors. The value of including a thorough nutritional monitoring in the protocols is also discussed, as a cornerstone of nutritional support complications’ prevention, early detection and management.
