Nutritional supplementation is becoming the standard of practice in equine medicine, although there are minimal data on nutritional support in critically ill horses and its association or effect on morbidity and mortality or length of hospital stay. Horses can be fed orally and when that is not possible, intravenously or parenterally. Enteral feeding is less expensive, more physiologic, improves immunity, and is easier and safer. This article reviews available information on the development of a nutritional plan for critically ill horses, and describes methods for and complications of enteral and parenteral feeding.
营养补充正成为马医学的标准治疗方法,尽管关于危重病马营养支持及其与发病率、死亡率或住院时间的关联或影响的数据极少。马可以经口喂食,若无法经口喂食,则可通过静脉或非肠道途径喂食。肠内喂养成本更低、更符合生理需求、能提高免疫力,且更简便安全。本文综述了有关为危重病马制定营养计划的现有信息,并描述了肠内和非肠道喂养的方法及并发症。
