  • Title: The critically ill patient: nutritional implications.
    Author: Forlaw L.
    Journal: Nurs Clin North Am; 1983 Mar; 18(1):111-7. PubMed ID: 6403928.
    Abstract:
    The nutritional needs of critically ill patients are increased by the metabolic demands generated from injury and sepsis. Parenteral nutrition may be necessary initially to meet their nutritional requirements, with transition to enteral nutrition when their nutritional requirements can be met via the gastrointestinal tract. Meeting the nutritional needs of patients enhances their ability to tolerate the medical and surgical interventions necessary to promote resolution of their illness.
