Abstract
Nutritional therapy is an elemental component of intensive care treatment. Therapeutic
goals are the enteral or parenteral provision of calories, protein, electrolytes,
vitamins and trace elements. Pathophysiologically, metabolism in critical illness
is characterized by a catabolic stress status. This results from an underlying systemic
inflammatory response and is associated with increased rate of infections, multiple
organ failure and unfavourable outcome. In this article, the principles and strategies
of nutrition support therapy in critically ill patients are presented, based on current
guidelines.
