title: The 1996 Nestlé International Clinical Nutrition Award for Enteral Nutrition. "Enteral versus parenteral nutrition: effects on gastrointestinal function and metabolism": background.
abstract: Nutrition therapy for the critically ill patient is today an integral part of the treatment concept in intensive care medicine. Parenteral and enteral artificial nutrition are expensive, cost-intensive treatment procedures that are certainly not risk-free. For both ethical and economic reasons, the indications and principles of artificial nutrition must always be adapted to the latest knowledge.
