Abstract

Our expertise in the medical treatment of COVID-19 infections has grown with time and experience, resulting in the development of a cohesive overall therapeutic strategy for control of the viral infection from supportive measures for mild to moderate illness, to the full range of relevant organ support in critical illness in ICU. In parallel, our strategies for providing nutrition therapy have also evolved beyond the mere delivery of macronutrients (calories and protein) to the utilization of specific nutritional substrates that may play an important role in modifying the course of the disease and optimizing clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Despite the awareness of the prevalence of malnutrition in patients scheduled for major GI surgery, and its association with increased morbidity and mortality, as well as increased cost of care, perioperative nutrition is still underutilized as a strategy to improve surgical outcomes. Following the deliberately inflicted trauma of major surgery, a neuroendocrine response stimulates mobilization of energy reserves from the liver that are transiently available for up to 3 days. Beyond this, the body will then turn to whole body protein catabolism for substrates. This loss of lean body mass is potentially harmful and has been observed as a loss of muscle mass in the diaphragm, the psoas muscles, or the thigh. Further, it has been shown that when the magnitude of loss of muscle mass reaches 20%, it is associated with decreased wound healing, increased muscle weakness, and increased risk of infection.
