[Role of enteral feeding in nutritional support of surgical patients]
Abstract:
Main stages of artificial nutritional support (ANS) in the surgical clinic are considered as a scientific system of diagnostic and curative measures. Principle aspects of trophological screening of the surgical patient are elucidated. The algorithm of choice of the principle of ANS is presented: parenteral and enteral. Grounds are given to confirm the priority of the enteral method of ANS at the main stages of managing the surgical patient: before operation, during it, at the early and late postoperative periods.
