Clinical and experimental evidence confirms that delivery of nutrients via the gastrointestinal tract reduces septic morbidity in critically injured patients. Early enteral feeding seems to maintain mucosal integrity and to support the gut as an important immunologic organ that may affect other areas of the body. There is increasing evidence to suggest that specific nutrients are especially beneficial in maintaining intestinal host-defense function in times of critical illness and injury.
临床和实验证据证实，通过胃肠道输送营养物质可降低重症伤员的脓毒症发病率。早期肠内喂养似乎能维持黏膜完整性，并支持肠道作为一个可能影响身体其他部位的重要免疫器官。越来越多的证据表明，在危重病和受伤期间，特定营养物质对维持肠道宿主防御功能特别有益。
