Evidence base for specialized nutrition support.

Abstract

Data regarding the use of both parenteral and enteral specialized nutritional support (SNS) are available for a variety of common clinical scenarios. Herein, the data are reviewed for SNS in the context of critical illness, perioperative care, wasting syndromes (including HIV disease and cancer), and gastrointestinal disease (including short bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and pancreatitis).
