Abstract: Clinical nutritional therapy plays a crucial role in the treatment for critical ill patients in Neurosurgery,however,there are a few misunderstanding of theoretical knowledge and deficiencies in clinical practice.To prioritize standardized nutritional therapy for critically ill patients in Neurosurgery,we must strive in the following aspects:establishing multidisciplinary team(MDT) for nutritional therapy;performing assessments for nutritional risk and malnutrition;emphasizing stepwise nutritional therapy to improve the compliance rate of nutritional treatment;advocating protective feeding practices to avoid overfeeding and applying syndrome differentiation and treatment to improve immune-modulating effects of nutritional therapy.

Key words: nutritional therapy; neurocritical ill patients; multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment
