Abstract
In connection with the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity, the number of these patients in intensive care units is increasing - current statistics indicate 20-30% of patients admitted in the obesity zone and 25% in the overweight zone. Nutritional goals and strategies for patients with obesity are one of the biggest challenges of modern nutritional care. They include a comprehensive diagnosis of malnutrition and the correct determination of energy and protein intake, for which it is possible to use formulas recommended by the European Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ESPEN) or the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN). The research focuses on the possibilities of immunonutrition and influencing the microbiota.
