Abstract

Intra-abdominal sepsis can be a challenging pathophysiologic state. There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding nutrition supplementation in patients with intra-abdominal sepsis. Persistent inflammation immunosuppression catabolism syndrome (PICS) is a new phenotype of multiple organ failure associated with a severe stress such as intra-abdominal sepsis. Nutritional support of these patients is paramount to their recovery and should still largely follow the ASPEN guidelines. Certain nutritional adjuncts could ultimately prove to provide benefit in treating patients with intra-abdominal sepsis and PICS.
