Tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu savoir sur l'équilibre nutritionnel périopératoire

Surgery induces proteolysis, lipolysis and hyperglycemia. A significant number of patients scheduled for surgery are undernourished and susceptible to develop postoperative complications. The diagnosis of denutrition is supported by questioning (weight loss) and plasma albumin dosage. Immunonutrition has demonstrated benefits on the occurrence of postoperative complications. Maintaining nutritional status depends on shortening the delay before postoperative oral intake.
