[Theory and practice of perioperative trauma-adapted parenteral feeding]

In this paper we introduce a new perioperative infusion regime. We will discuss problems associated with the water and electrolyte metabolism and show the influence of pre- and postoperative beginning of an intravenous nutrition support on metabolic and hormonal changes after trauma. We also will show the influence of hypercaloric and trauma-adapted nutritional support on hormonal, metabolic and liver-specific enzyme changes after trauma.
