VASCONEZ, Alex  and  MOYON-CONSTANTE, Miguel Ángel. Nutritional recommendations for hospitalized patients with severe respiratory infection (SARS) suspected or confirmed by COVID-19. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.2, pp.244-249. ISSN 2011-7582.  https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.654.

During last three decades of continuous care of hospitalized patients, we have recognized the pathophysiology of the metabolic response to stress and the involvement of patients, from the molecular activation of sepsis to the hemodynamic and neurological involvement of shock, offering nutritional support to obtain better results for the health and life of our patients, through recommendations that have been verified in heterogeneous populations with different presentations in clinical practice. In this literature review we propose suggestions on nutritional intervention in patients with SARS-CoV2 or COVID-19.

Keywords : COVID-19; SARS virus; coronavirus; coronavirus infections; pandemics; diet, food, and nutrition; nutrition for vulnerable groups.
