Nutritional support and head trauma

LD Varella

Nutritional therapy in the head-injured patient is designed to prevent catabolism of lean body cell mass; minimize specific and potential complications; and assist the patient to return to normal nutritional status. Prompt nutritional support accompanied by physical therapy can enhance long term rehabilitation. The critical care nurse plays a major role in this process by providing nutrition along with hemodynamic and neurologic stabilization.
