[Role of nutrition support in the enhanced recovery after surgery for gastrointestinal surgery patients].

Nutrition support therapy can improve the general condition of the patient and is one of the main factors to ensure the success of the operation. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) improves the recovery following gastrointestinal surgery by reducing postoperative stress response. The application of nutrition support in ERAS includes nutrition risk assessment before surgery and preoperative nutrition treatment for malnutrition. The time to fasting and clear liquid was shortened to 6 h and 2 h before anesthesia induction. Early postoperative recovery of oral feeding can improve the patient's clinical outcome. The application of ERAS enables the development and improvement of clinical nutrition concepts, and deepens the role of nutrition support therapy, which is conducive to the recovery of patients.
