Written by experts in the field, this book provides current scientific and clinical information on the surgical stressors created by systemic inflammation; infection; and major insults, such as trauma, burns, critical illness, and other factors. It is intended for clinicians across all levels of training and provides clear and concise evidence-based guidelines for the metabolic management and nutrition support of surgical patients. Also reviewed are normal physiology, the pathophysiology of starvation, malignancy, organ failure/intestinal failure, and discussions of fluid and electrolytes, and nutrition repletion for common disease states.
Key features
- Specific chapters devoted to enteral and parenteral nutrition
- Special considerations for obesity
- Extremes of age are discussed (pediatrics and patients >65 years of age)
