Nutritional Support
- Molecular classification
- Therapeutic intervention, Medical procedure
01
Overview
Nutritional support is a therapeutic intervention designed to provide essential nutrients to individuals who cannot meet their nutritional needs through normal eating and drinking. It encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition, including oral supplements, enteral (tube) feeding, and parenteral (intravenous) nutrition. The primary goal is to maintain or increase lean body mass and prevent or treat malnutrition. It is indicated in cases such as inability to swallow, severe appetite loss, malabsorption syndromes, and critical illness.
