Description
Summary:Surgical patients often have a high nutritional risk and this is associated with poor postoperative results, putting survival at risk.The early identification of this type of patients is essential for early nutritional interventions with the aim of attenuating catabolism and preserving the processes of response to surgical stress that promotes recovery and immunoprotection,reduces perioperative morbidity and mortality and improves surgical outcomes.In recent years, various nutritional strategies have been studied during the perioperative period that have shown benefits.The purpose of the present review is to analyze the most recent evidence on nutritional therapy in non-critical surgical patients; for this purpose, electronic databasessuch as PubMed and journals of the main scientific societies competent in this field have been consulted.
