 Abstract
PDFePub
- Wound healing is a coordinated process of sequential events consisting of four phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Many factors can affect each phase of this process and have a harmful or beneficial effect on wound healing. Nutrition is closely associated with the wound healing process and is one of the major influencing factors on the outcomes of wound healing. Malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies could adversely affect wound healing and delay it. Many kinds of nutrients can enhance the healing process. Physicians should always assess every patient’s nutritional status to determine nutritional deficiencies. This will enable supplementation, thereby enhancing wound healing. Herein, we review the relationship between nutrition and wound healing, and the effects and mechanisms of each nutrient that is closely related to the wound healing process.

- Purpose
This study aimed to develop a comprehensive practical guide for enteral nutrition (EN) designed to enhance patient safety and reduce complications in Korea. Under the leadership of the Korean Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (KSPEN), the initiative sought to standardize EN procedures, improve decision-making, and promote effective multidisciplinary communication.
Methods
The KSPEN EN committee identified key questions related to EN practices and organized them into seven sections such as prescribing, delivery route selection, formula preparation, administration, and quality management. Twenty-one experts, selected based on their expertise, conducted a thorough literature review to formulate evidence-based recommendations. Drafts underwent peer review both within and across disciplines, with final revisions completed by the KSPEN Guideline Committee. The guide, which will be published in three installments, addresses critical elements of EN therapy and safety protocols.
Results
The practical guide recommends that EN orders include detailed elements and advocates the use of electronic medical records for communication. Standardized prescription forms and supplementary safety measures are outlined. Review frequency is adjusted according to patient condition—daily for critically ill or unstable patients and as dictated by institutional protocols for stable patients. Evidence indicates that adherence to these protocols reduces mortality, complications, and prescription errors.
Conclusion
The KSPEN practical guide offers a robust framework for the safe delivery of EN tailored to Korea’s healthcare context. It emphasizes standardized protocols and interdisciplinary collaboration to improve nutritional outcomes, patient safety, and operational efficiency. Rigorous implementation and monitoring of adherence are critical for its success.
