Dudrick, whose research into hospital nutrition transformed modern surgery, helping save millions of malnourished and critically ill patients who relied on his intravenous feeding technique to eat, died Jan. 18 at his home in Eaton, N.H. He was 84. Dr. Dudrick was among America's most accomplished surgeons. Over a half-century career in medicine, he also taught tens of thousands of medical students and chaired surgery departments at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, the University of Pennsylvania and two Yale-affiliated hospitals. But he was best known for developing the feeding method known as total parenteral nutrition, a breakthrough in which patients obtain all the nutrients they need--including proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins--hrough a vein near the heart. Stanley John Dudrick was born in Nanticoke, Pa., on April 9, 1935. He received a bachelor's degree in biology from Franklin & Marshall College in 1957 and graduated from medical school at the University of Pennsylvania in 1961, later joining the faculty at what is now the Perelman School of Medicine. Dr. Dudrick spent most of the 1970s in Houston, at what is now McGovern Medical School, and went on to teach at Yale University, the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine in Pennsylvania and Misericordia, a Catholic university in Dallas, Pa., where he served as founding medical director of a physician assistant program. He also co-founded the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) in 1975 and was its first president)
