The chapters in this book vary from methods of assessing and monitoring nutritional status to those of the use of intravenous and enternal nutritional support. Practical chapters define laparoscopic placement of feeding tubes as well as the use of a variety of nutritional substrates, which can be administered in different clinical scenarios. The discovery, implementation and utilization of total parenteral nutritional support have made enormous benefits to patients; saving lives and improving clinical outcome.
