title: [Introduction on postoperative nutritional support in neonatal cardiac surgery].
abstract: Malnutrition is common in newborn patients after cardiac surgery, because of the low metabolic reserves, increased energy expenditure caused by the injury, and reduced or delayed nutritional support they receive, as well as their inability to metabolize the nutrients administered. It is important to achieve appropriate nutrition; a better metabolic response after surgery has a significant impact on length of stay, wound healing, susceptibility to infections and surgical outcome. This guideline intended to establish the practical foundation for parenteral and enteral nutritional support in the newborn with cardiac surgery, considering water restriction, optimizing macro and micronutrients required in the postoperative time.
