This text portrays an understanding of metabolism, mediators, and mechanisms, and the role they play in formulating optimal support for surgical patients. In addition to an emphasis on the general considerations of nutrition and metabolism, the book covers the basics of intermediary metabolism and the causation and pathophysiology of cytokines and mediators. The practical aspects of patient care, including potential complications and how to prevent them, are also discussed. This revised edition incorporates advances in the field, from the increased emphasis on parenteral nutrition to nutritional pharmacology and examination of the mechanisms and mediators by which changes in metabolism occur in illness.
Part 1 General considerations: body composition; intestinal digestion and absorption of nutrients; mediators, hormones, and control of metabolism - regulation of protein, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism in critical illness; energy metabolisml; growth factors. Part 2 Intermediary metabolism: protein and amino acid metabolism; carbohydrates; plasma lipoproteins and intravenous lipid emulsions; vitamins; essential trace metals - deficiencies and requirements; two dozen syndromes - pattern recognition in diagnosis and treatment of fluid and electrolyte disorders; glutamine as a metabolic intermediate; intestinal fluids - implications for improvement of intestinal growth and function; arginine; nutrition in wound healing; nitric oxide; translocation as it applies to metabolism; omega-3 and other polyunsaturated fatty acids - modulation of the inflammatory response. Part 3 Patient evaluation: nutritional assessment - the assessment of the nutritional and metabolic status of surgical patients. Part 4 Physiologic response: starvation - metabolic and physiologic responses; metabolic response to trauma and infection; nutrition and neoplasma; changes in immunologic function; nutritional support in hepatic failure; nutritional management in acute renal failure; nutrition of heart and lung; special needs of the paediatric patient. Part 5 Specific modes of therapy: parenteral nutrition; enteral nutrition; critical evaluation of results - cost and benefit of nutrition support.
