About the Book:

Medicine may be given with nutrition therapy to treat loss of appetite and weight loss. It is important that cancer symptoms and side effects that affect eating and cause weight loss are treated early. Both nutrition therapy and medicine can help lessen the effects that cancer and its treatment have on weight loss. Critically ill patients require adequate nutritional support to meet energy requirements both during and after intensive care unit (ICU) stay to protect against severe catabolism and prevent significant deconditioning. This book focuses on the principles in critical care nutrition. Modern medicine accepts the role of nutrition in a healthy person’s life and particularly highlights the nutrition management of critically-ill patients as much as it’s important in planning antibiotics and ventilator strategies. Nutrition support helps to shorten the stay of critically-ill patients but also reduces mortality and morbidity.
