Finding all the information necessary to treat or meet the
nutritional requirements of patients who are severely ill or
establish new protocols has historically been problematic. This is
addressed in Diet and Nutrition in Critical Care. This major
reference work encapsulates the latest treatments and procedures to
meet the dietary and nutritional needs of the critically ill. Where
evidence is available this is presented. However, where evidence is
absent, the authors highlight this and provide guidance based on
their analysis of other available data and their clinical
experience. Diet and Nutrition in Critical Care is a two volume set
which addresses the needs of all those concerned with diet and
nutrition in the critically ill and covers General Aspects, Enteral
Aspects, and Parenteral Aspects. Each volume is stand alone and is
further divided into separate sections. The Sections in the General
Aspects are: General conditions in the severely ill General
metabolic effects and treatments Assessment protocols General
nutritional aspects Specific nutrients Adverse aspects The next two
volumes Enteral Aspects and Parenteral Aspects contain the
following sections: General aspects and methods Specific nutrients
Specific conditions Adverse aspects and outcomes Comparisons or
dual parenteral and enteral support or transitions Preclinical
studies The authors recognise the limitations in simplistic
divisions and there is always difficulty in categorising treatment
regimens. For example, some regimens involve transitions from one
feeding protocol to another or the development of co-morbid
conditions and in some cases enteral support may be supplemented
with parenteral support. This complexity however, is addressed by
the excellent indexing system. Contributors are authors of
international and national standing, leaders in the field and
trendsetters. Emerging fields of science and important discoveries
relating to artificial support will also be incorporated into Diet
and Nutrition in Critical Care. This volume represents a one stop
shop of material related to enteral and parenteral support and is
essential reading for those specialising in intensive and critical
care, dietitians, nutritionists, gastroenterologists,
cardiologists, pharmacologists, health care professionals, research
scientists, molecular or cellular biochemists, general
practitioners as well as those interested in diet and nutrition in
general.
