In mechanically ventilated patients, this can manifest as impaired respiratory system immunity and difficult weaning from mechanical ventilation. Providing nutritional support is a corner stone in the care of mechanically ventilated patients regardless the cause of mechanical ventilation whether medical, surgical or traumatic.
