Impact of Preoperative Immunonutritional Support in Patients Undergoing Elective Thoracic Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Several immunonutritional supplements have recently been developed. However, improvements in preoperative immunonutritional conditions using these supplements have not been analyzed in patients undergoing thoracic surgery.

Methods

This prospective, single-arm, single-institution pilot study involved patients planning to undergo thoracic surgery. Forty adults with a poor preoperative immunonutritional status were enrolled.
