Artificial Nutrition Support: In Clinical Practice

by Jason Payne-James (editor), George Grimble (Editor), David Silk (Editor)

Of increasing interest in clinical nutrition worldwide is the role of diet in the recovery of hospital patients. The subject remains poorly understood by the non-specialist, even though these are the personnel chiefly responsible for the administration of nutritional support in the clinical setting. This book provides a complete overview of all the relevant information on the subject, covering every aspect of artificial nutrition support from its scientific basis to its role in specific disease states. The volume is intended as a handy reference source for all clinical departments, interested physicians, dieticians, pharmacists, and nurses.
