Extract

Previous work of our group and data from the literature show that in the polytraumatic patient the metabolic status is characterized by a severe and persistent catabolic situation involving carbohydrate, protein, lipid, mineral metabolism and hormonal and chemical mediators. This situation is clinically expressed by the so-called “post stress syndrome.”

Total parenteral nutrition has assumed a major role in the treatment of polytrauma patients and its application has produced a significant modification of the physiopathological evolution and improvement of the clinical outcome.
