About this book

​This text provides a review of the current knowledge in both the mechanics of nourishing the critically ill and the metabolic and immunological roles nutrients play. In-depth chapters discuss disease-related malnutrition as distinct from under-or-over nourishment and the impact of nourishment in either form of malnutrition. The appropriate timing and indications for nutrition support are provided as well as advanced techniques for improving practice. A broad range of issues related to interdisciplinary practice are addressed. Useful for a wide variety of practitioners, including ICU doctors, hospitalists, and nutrition support physicians, Nutrition Support of the Critically Ill provides practical bedside advice and simplified recommendations for practice.

Reviews

“This volume in the Nutrition and Health Series is devoted to the metabolic assessment and support of optimal nutrition in the critically ill patient. An evidence-based review is presented featuring current knowledge of the mechanics for nourishing the critically ill with the metabolic and immunological impact of various nutrition support strategies. Critical care providers or those in aligned subspecialties including members of nutrition support teams are an appropriate audience for this book.” (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2016)
