[Comparison of peripheral parenteral feeding with an exclusively carbohydrate diet during the postoperative period]. 1977

D Löhlein, and H H Melbeck, and E Henkel, and F Donay, and H Canzler

40 patients, who underwent abdominal surgical procedures, received 3 different types of peripheral-venous postoperative infusions. Two groups had peripheral parenteral nutrition with different amounts of amino acid substitution, whereas a comparable group only received carbohydrates and electrolytes with same energy content. Regarding plasma proteins there was no evident difference among the various groups. In all patients, however, we found a significant decrease of protein-levels in the early postoperative period indicating a malnutrition at this time. Supply of amino acids had a significant positive effect on nitrogen balance. Utilisation of added protein theoretically came up to 65-70%. Therefore postoperative peripheral parenteral nutrition should be preferred.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009584 Nitrogen An element with the atomic symbol N, atomic number 7, and atomic weight [14.00643; 14.00728]. Nitrogen exists as a diatomic gas and makes up about 78% of the earth's atmosphere by volume. It is a constituent of proteins and nucleic acids and found in all living cells.
D010288 Parenteral Nutrition The administering of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient who cannot maintain adequate nutrition by enteral feeding alone. Nutrients are administered by a route other than the alimentary canal (e.g., intravenously, subcutaneously).
