title: [Nutritional support in the neurocritical patient].
abstract: Neurocritical patients have a metabolic condition that makes them particularly sensitive to protein-caloric malnutrition in a short period of time. Due to this, it is essential nutritional support treatment. But the neurocritical patient has physiological connotations that makes it difficult to be able to establish an early nutrition: persistent gastroparesis for days and exacerbated metabolic response with hyperglycemia is a challenge to the therapist.This review intends to respond to nutritional difficulties in neurocritical patients and also review pharmaco-nutritients that may be helpful for the subsequent clinical course.
