Perioperative Nutrition

Careful nutrition to support surgery preparation and a quick recovery.

It’s well recognised that nutritional support is required after surgery, but unknown to many patients facing surgery, nutrition consumed in advance of an operation can significantly impact recovery time and outcome.

Supporting patients pre and post-surgery for optimal health outcomes

Surgery utilises a lot of the body's existing resources, and in some instances, cannot proceed if the person is not nourished and strong enough to handle the additional strain. This state can worsen post-surgery where the body has an intensified need for nutrients to support the healing process.

 

With up to half of hospital patients being malnourished when admitted, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols look at the impact of food consumed both pre and post-surgery. A diet rich in complete proteins, such as dairy protein, is generally recommended to ensure better health outcomes for patients.

Explaining the ERAS Guidelines

The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines are an evidence-based multi-disciplinary approach to perioperative care. The goal of the guidelines is to decrease recovery time and post-operative complications, while saving money and reducing hospital length of stay. 

 

We have compiled the the general principles of ERAS for each operative period for you to read.

Osmolality as a key product performance attribute

Staying properly hydrated is criticial for perioperative care patients in preventing a wide range of health issues. While hydration is critical, water isn't necessarily the easiest liquid for the body to absorb. 

We can help to create low osmolarity beverages that do more than just hydrate. Our dairy proteins provide formulation flexibility for manufacturers to include additional minerals and nutrients that help to further enhance recovery.
