Parenteral nutrition is the standard of care for patients who are
unable to maintain nutritional status via the gastrointestinal
tract. New techniques in this therapy are giving patients with
intestinal failure the time they need to achieve maximal intestinal
rehabilitation and return to a more normal and productive life.
Edited and written by an international group of experts in the
field, Intestinal Failure and Rehabilitation: A Clinical Guide
presents the most current information regarding the prevention,
diagnosis, care, and management of patients with intestinal
failure. Organized in a logical manner, the book opens with a
review of the basic principles and concepts, and progresses into
discussions on diagnostic evaluation using a variety of techniques,
and treatment plan formulation. The next section addresses dietary
modifications, medical management, the use of trophic substances,
enteral and parenteral nutrition, surgery, and transplantation.
Following a discussion of special considerations, such as
pediatrics and enterostomaltherapy, the text concludes with
outcomes and future directions for research. This volume is devoted
solely to intestinal failure and all of the information is
supported by evidence-based medicine. It greatly enhances
understanding of this area and aids in the care and rehabilitation
of individuals with intestinal insufficiency.
