“This is a multiauthored handbook for bedside providers seeking to optimize nutrition support for patients in the intensive care unit. … This is an excellent combination of pertinent physiology and "how-to" advice for bedside care. As the literature describing metabolic response to critical illness continues to evolve, use of the most current references by these authors is both essential and commendable.” (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2018)
