Abstract

The field of surgical and critical care nutrition has evolved beyond the basic provision of macronutrients to sustain metabolism into a discipline that treats and modifies disease states with immunonutrients and timely provision of macronutrients to modulate deranged physiology. Evidence-based, multidisciplinary, and protocol-driven nutritional interventions have proven effective in improving outcomes in surgical and critically ill patients. A mastery or at least understanding of the principles of nutrition therapy are in integral part of the practice of anesthesia, surgery, and critical care medicine.
