SLAVICA NAUMOVSKI-MIHALIĆ ; Merkur University Hospital, Clinical Department of Medicine, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Sepsis is a growing global problem with high health care costs. Therefore, it is important to start treatment on time. Nutrition support is the main element of modern therapy for sepsis. Enteral nutrition has some advantage to parenteral nutrition because it prevents bacterial translocation into systemic circulation, thus reducing the number of infections. Appropriate nutritional support has a direct impact on the patient clinical outcome.
