Abstract

Nutritional support is used frequently as a treatment modality in the postoperative patient. Indications for nutrition support, patient selection, mode of administration, contents of solutions and complications of therapy are issues that the consulting internist must address. The role of a nutrition support team and optimal communication between the consultant and members of the surgical staff are emphasized.
