Clinical Nutrition for Critical Care Patients
Critical care patients often experience severe metabolic stress that increases nutritional requirements. Clinical nutrition is essential for supporting organ function and recovery in intensive care settings.
Enteral nutrition is commonly initiated early to support gut integrity and immune function. When enteral feeding is not possible, parenteral nutrition provides essential nutrients.
Precise nutrient delivery is required to avoid complications such as infections or metabolic imbalances. Multidisciplinary teams monitor patients closely to adjust nutrition plans as conditions change.
Clinical nutrition plays a key role in improving survival rates and recovery in critically ill patients.
