Abstract

Both pregnancy and critical illness lead to adaptive processes which may be in fact maladaptive. There is much controversy concerning prescription of nutrition during either state, and even less is known as to direct nutritional therapy during critical illness in the pregnant or postpartum patient. While pregnancy is an anabolic process, critical illness is essentially a catabolic one, and care must be taken to provide adequate nutritional support to answer the needs of both the mother and fetus. This chapter centers on what is known and what recommendations can be made in this patient population.
