Invited Review: Clinical Applications of Enteral Nutrition

Kenneth A. Kudsk, MD

Department of Surgery, The University of Tennessee, Memphis

Clinical and experimental evidence confirms that delivery of nutrients via the gastrointestinal tract reduces septic morbidity in critically injured patients. Early enteral feeding seems to maintain mucosal integrity and to support the gut as an important immunologic organ that may affect other areas of the body. There is increasing evidence to suggest that specific nutrients are especially beneficial in maintaining intestinal host-defense function in times of critical illness and injury.
