  • Title: Patients requiring perioperative nutritional support.
    Author: Enomoto TM, Larson D, Martindale RG.
    Journal: Med Clin North Am; 2013 Nov; 97(6):1181-200. PubMed ID: 24182726.
    Abstract:
    One of the most important factors affecting outcome and recovery from surgical trauma is preoperative nutritional status. Research in perioperative nutritional support has suffered from a lack of consensus as to the definition of malnutrition, no recognition of which nutrients are important to surgical healing, and a paucity of well-designed studies. In the past decade, there has been some activity to address this situation, recognizing the importance of nutrition as a therapy before surgery, after surgery, and possibly even during surgery.
