Current Approaches in Patient Nutrition During The Surgical Process
Abstract
Surgical trauma initiates a catabolic process which threatens homeostasis with the response of neurohormonal stress which it creates. Resilience after surgical
trauma is related not only to technical surgical skills, but also to the patient’s metabolic condition and the provision of suitable nutritional support.
Nutrition, despite being important for resilience after surgery, is often overlooked in surgical patients. Hunger and surgical stress initiate a catabolic reaction,
which causes organ dysfunction, slower wound healing, postoperative infections and an increase in morbidity and mortality, a longer stay in hospital and
increased costs. Evidence-based correct nutrition supports positive patient outcomes in the prevention of complications related to nutrition in the perioperative
period. Ensuring correct nutrition of the patient by up-to-date approaches and evidence-based practices can allow a quicker postoperative recovery
by reducing catabolism and supporting anabolism. Nutrition of surgical patients requires a multidisciplinary team approach. Nurses, who have a key role in
the multidisciplinary team in reducing the surgical stress process, should optimally support the patient’s nutrition within the framework of current dietary
recommendations. The aim of this compilation was to emphasize the importance of nutrition management in patients undergoing surgical intervention, and
to set out current practices in correct nutrition in the perioperative period..
