Abstract:
Adequate nutritional therapy is essential for recovery from critical illness. Nutritional requirement varies in different patients and varies daily in a single patient. Both under and over feeding are associated with complications. Besides this, not all patients behave in a similar way to nutritional therapy. Appropriate nutritional therapy requires identification of patients "at nutritional risk" and providing aggressive nutritional support to them. The current article deals with nutritional support in critical illness with special emphasis on neurocritical care patients.
