Nutrition Support
About the Procedure
Nutrition Support involves specialized nutritional interventions for patients unable to meet their dietary needs through regular oral intake. This includes enteral nutrition (tube feeding) and parenteral nutrition (intravenous feeding), carefully prescribed and monitored by a multidisciplinary medical team. Nutrition support is essential for critically ill patients, those recovering from surgery, or individuals with severe gastrointestinal disorders. The program ensures adequate calorie, protein, vitamin, and mineral intake to promote healing, prevent malnutrition, and support recovery in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
