Adult Short Bowel Syndrome: Nutritional, Medical, and Surgical Management serves as a practical guide to the medical, surgical and nutritional care of complex patients with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS), providing information on SBS with the most up-to-date, evidence-based data available. Additionally, the book presents global perspectives and highlights emerging areas of research that are influencing the care of patients with SBS. Intended for nutritionists, dieticians, physicians (specifically, general practitioners, gastroenterologists, and surgeons), nurse practitioners, pharmacists, students and researchers, this book serves as a quick reference on the medical, surgical and nutritional care of complex patients with short bowel syndrome.

Presents emerging areas of research related to Short Bowel Syndrome (gut microbiome, pre/probiotics), as well as current applications in clinical practice Compiles an overview, classification and complications of the Short Bowel Syndrome disease state Contains effective dietary concepts (including rationale and use of oral rehydration solutions) for managing malabsorption caused by Short Bowel Syndrome Includes medical and pharmaceutical management techniques to compliment nutrition interventions Discusses surgical options for consideration in patients with Short Bowel Syndrome Highlights international perspectives on treatment and care

Prepare for clinical practice by "solving" 29 realistic case studies in nutrition and medical nutrition therapy. Using the medical record as its structure, you draw on the information provided (hospital admission data, laboratory test results, intake/output records, and physician and other health care provider progress notes) to solve the case. A series of questions follow the case, focusing on pathophysiology; assessment; clinical, nutritional, and behavioral outcomes; interventions; and appropriate follow-up for the patient.
