Nutrition Support in Blunt and Penetrating Torso Trauma

  • Chapter
From Nutrition Support to Pharmacologic Nutrition in the ICU

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care Medicine ((UICMSOFT,volume 34))

Abstract

Over the past 25 years, clinical studies have provided convincing evidence that early nutritional support benefits stressed surgical patients by preventing acute protein malnutrition [1–3]. Additionally, enteral nutrition, when compared to parenteral [4–6], has been demonstrated to be the preferred route of substrate delivery. Moreover, recent basic and clinical investigation offers the prospect that the benefits of traditional nutrition support can be amplified by supplementing specific nutrients that impart pharmacological immune-enhancing effects [7–22]. The focus of this chapter is to define optimal nutrition following major torso trauma and to describe a systematic method to deliver nutrition care in the ICU.
