Early Enteral Feeding Improves Outcome

  • Conference paper
Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine 1997

Part of the book series: Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((YEARBOOK,volume 1997))

Abstract

The constant supply of nutrients to cells is essential for their optimal function and survival. Nutrients supply substrates required for the replication of cells, generation of second messengers, maintenance of cellular barriers, destruction of invading pathogens, and detoxification of oxidants. As such, nutrients are important for wound healing, immune response, muscle contraction, and many other organ functions.
