Trace elements
Vitamins
Who?
Malnourished (>10% lean body mass)
Incapable of eating (>10 days)
MALNUTRITTION
Malnutrition is common among
When?
Preoperative?
Early?
Late?
---after initial resuscitation following injury or
surgery
How?
Parenteral
Enteral
Total
Partial
Issues
Metabolic response to injury
Cytokines, inflammation, hormones
Biology of substrates
Enteral vs. Parenteral
EBB PHASE
Typically, the ebb phase of the stress
response occurs within the first 12 to 48
hours.
It is characterised by catabolism. It is
driven largely by release of cytokines and
hormones.
Hypercortisolism
Hyperglucagonemia
Hyperglycemia
Hypercatecholemia
Hyperinsulinism
Hypercortisolism
Hyperglucagonemia
High cardiac output
Nutritional Assessment
Body weight
Body mass index
creatinine height index
Serum proteins:albumin, prealbumin,
transferrin
Immune competence: lymphocytes, DH
Nitrogen balance
Nutritional Requirements
25 cal/kg/day
carbohydrate ~70%
Lipid 15-30%
Protein 1.5-2.0g/kg/day. Not for calories
Additional 50% to 100% for stress as in ICU
patients
Protein requirements
Normal: 0.8-1 g/kg/d protein (up to 60-
70g/d).
Moderate depletion/ stress: 1-1.5 g/kg/d.
Severe: 1.5-2.
Calculate grams of nitrogen = grams of
protein/ d/ 6.25.
Nitrogen-to-calorie ratio is usually 1gN to
every 150 kcal (1:150).
Need less protein with renal failure before
dialysis and hepatic encephalopathy.
Multiple trauma/ burn/ sepsis --> 30-50 non
protein and 1.5-3 protein.
Stress factor ~ 1 gm/kg/24hr

(continued)
Prevention and Therapy
Correct electrolyte abnormalities before starting nutrition
support
Continue to monitor serum electrolytes after nutrition support
begins and replete aggressively
Initiate nutrition support at low rate/concentration (~ 50%
of estimated needs) and advance to goal slowly in patients
who are at high risk
Consequences of Over-feeding
Risks associated with over-feeding:
Hyperglycemia
Hepatic dysfunction from fatty infiltration
Respiratory acidosis from increased CO2 production
Difficulty weaning from the ventilator
Objective
To investigate changes in nutritional status and
the influence of oral supplements on nutritional
status, morbidity, and quality of life in
postoperative surgical patients
Exclusion
patients who required parenteral nutrition
pregnant or lactating
Patients with terminal diseases and those with decompensated liver or renal
disease.
