ABSTRACT
The association of malnutrition with surgical morbidity and mortality is well recognized. The question of whether this relationship is causal or simply an association in sick patients has been hotly debated. The field of nutrition support has grown out of the belief that correcting malnutrition will modify associated risks for poor outcome. It has been easier to substantiate this belief in some clinical situations than in others. The evidence for nutrition support during the perioperative period is reviewed and recommendations are made about where nutrition support is most useful and where it may be counterproductive. Some of the important unanswered questions about perioperative nutrition support are raised.
