Abstract

Ketogenic diet therapies involve a collaborative healthcare team and therefore are typically offered in tertiary care centers. Centers that utilize these therapies with frequency gain valuable experience and become skilled in their practice. This chapter is a summary from the presentations of 5 practitioners including a nurse, pharmacist, and 3 dietitians who shared their expertise during the clinical session of the 2012 International Symposium.

Keywords: diet-drug interaction; enteral; epilepsy; infantile spasms; ketogenic; metabolic; parenteral; seizures.
