Objectives of nutritional Support1)To prevent nutritional complications of surgery-infections and wound dehiscence.
2)To reduce the convalescence phase of surgicaltherapy.
The following can occur in patients who are malnourished- 1. muscle wasting and impairment of skeletal muscle function
2. impairment of respiratory muscle function

3. impairment of cardiac muscle function
4. atrophy of smooth muscle in GI tract
5. impaired immune function
6. impaired healing eg. Wounds and anastomosis
=> increased risk of post- operative morbidity and mortality.

METABOLIC RESPONSE TO TRAUMA
AND SEPSIS
TRAUMA Increased breakdown of protein, loss o nitrogen (in excess of
synthesis ) and in proportionate to the degree of operative trauma.
Factors responsible TNF, IL-1,
CNANGES IN CARBOHYADRATE METABOLISM- Increased glycogenolysis
glyconeogenesis
Decreased peripheral utilization of glucose
Resistanse to insulin
=> hyperglycemia diabetes of injury Brought about by GLUCAGON, ADRENALINE.
Development of HYPOGLYCEMIA in critically ill pts. = extremelypoor prognosis and invetible mortality.

Increased lipolysis with increased fatty acid formation (used as fuel source)
brought about by - GLUCAGON , NORADRENALINE.
SEPSIS There is substantial loss of body nitrogen 15-20 g / day
With increased glycogenolysis , glyconeogenesis , hyperglycemic state,increased peripheral utilization of glucose , lipolysis, free fatty acidproduction.
A significant abnormality in septic patients is
Disruption of inner mitochondrial membrane leading to block in theenergy transduction pathways with consequent reduction in aerobicmetabolism of both glucose and fatty acids.
the body therefore depends on anaerobic metabolism of glucoseresulting in increase in LACTATE production.

OVERALL
There is increased substrate turnover, accompanied byincrease in RESTING METABOLIC EXPENDITURE (RME ).
The TOTAL ENERGY EXPENDITURE(TEE )
RME
Activity energy expenditure ( depends on physical work )
Diet induced energy expenditure.
Under normal circumstances approximate calorierequirement is 25-30 kcal/kg/day.
Non-protein calorie requirement (carbohydrate + fat =2000kcal/day) should have a definite relationship with nitrogenintake = 150:1 .

Additional energy requirements in disease
states-
Elective surgery 0.1 x RME
Trauma 0.3 x RME
sepsis 0.5 x RME
Massive burns 1 x RME

ASSESEMENT OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF
PATIENTS
1. Body height and weight-
BMI = wt in kg/ height ( m )2
Man- 20-25
Woman- 20-23 2. Subcutaneous skinfold thickness- using skinfold calliper.
Triceps skinfold thickness
Male- min 10 mm
Female- min 13 mm
Multiple site skinfold thickness better, good correlation
with total body fat content.

3. BIOCHEMICAL MEASURES-
s. albumin- not a reliable indicator, as-
relatively long half life -21 days
huge extravascular store altered in trauma,sepsis, malignancy, despite adequate
intake,
Alternatives =
s. transferrin 7 days s. pre-albumin 2 days
s. retinol binding protein - 1-2 hrs

10/32
4. NITROGEN BALANCE- the total nitrogen intake iscompared with the loss from all sources such as urine( urea),
stool, skin etc.
Nitrogen balance = dietary protein x 0.16 ( urine urea
nitrogen + 2g stool + 2g skin )
Urine urea N = URINE UREA(MMOL) X 28
Although it is not a prognostic indicator, it is still an imp,. Way
of assessing a pts, nutritional requirements and response to
nutritional support.

5. MUSCLE FUNCTION A. skeletal muscle
hand grip strength/ electrical stimulation of ulnar nerve
B. respiratory muscle
vital capacity/ asking the patient to blow hard on a strip of paper
held approx 10 cm from pts lips.
6. NUTRITIONAL RISK INDEX
1.519x s.albumin (g/l) + 0.417xcurrent wt/usual wt x 100.

PROVIDING NUTRITIONAL SUPPORTThe following methods may be used to reverse catabolic illness:
1.Provide optimum nutrition early with:
adequate energy and nutrient profile.
adequate protein.
necessary micronutrients.
2.Use anabolic agents if needed to increase the rate of anabolicactivity.
3.Provide exercise stimulus to muscles (an added anabolicstimulus).

routes of Nutritional Support
There are two basic routes of providing nutritional
support to the patient:
1. Enteral route-oral,
nasogastric & nasojejunal,
gastrostomy & jejunostomy
2. Parenteral route.- central and peripheral

Enteral Feedingadvantages-
prevents GI atrophy and gut barrier is maintained.decreasedmicrobial translocation
The Gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) is essential for
hosting immune response. maintain the integrity of the peritoneal immune response
Less expensive
Improves hepatic function
Total mucosal immunity (via sIgA)

BY MOUTH- feeding by mouth requires commonsense, cleanliness
and compassion on the part of medical attendant.
BY NASOGASTRIC TUBE FEEDING- via fine-bore nasogastric tubes.
May be used in pts who requires nutritional support for a short
period of time

BY GASTROSTOMY- STAMM/ JANEWAY/ PERCUTANEOUSENDOSCOPIC.
CONTRAINDICATION-
Gastric disease
Impaired gastric emptying
Significant reflux disease
COMPLICATIONS-
Aspiration, damage to visceral organs, sepsis, leakage and
peritonitis, hemorrhage, dumping and diarrhoea, tubeblockage, etc.

BY JEJUNOSTOMY- WITZEL/ NEEDLE JEJUNOSTOMY
ADVANTAGES-
Less stomal leakage/ more efficient nutrient delivery
Gastric and pancreatic secretions are reduced as stomach isbypassed
Less nausea vomiting or bloating
Less risk of aspiration

NUTRIENT SOLUTION AVAILABLE FOR ENTERAL NUTRITION-
POLYMERIC DIETS- nutritionally complete diets
ELEMENTAL DIETS-
They are required if the patient is unable to produce anadequate amount of digestive enzymes or has reduced area of
absorption eg. Short bowel syndrome/ severe pancreatitis.
Nitrogen source as oligopeptides, energy source is provided as
glucose polymers and medium chain fatty acids.
SPECIAL FORMULATIONS
They have been developed for pts with particular diseases-
7/30/2019 Nutritional Support in Emergency Patients
19/32
i)increased concentrations of branched chain amino acids anddecreased concentrations of aromatic amino acids in patients with
hepatic encephalopathy
ii) those with higher fat but lower glucose energy content for use in
pts who are artificially ventilated
iii) diets containing key nutrients that modulate immune response
etc.
MODULAR DIETS-
they allow the provision of a diet rich in a particular nutrient for usein an individual patient eg, diet enriched in protein if the patient is
hypoproteinaemic or in sodium if hyponatraemic. These diet can be
used to supplement other enteral regimens or oral intake.

CONTRAINDICATIONS OF ENTERAL FEEDING-
intestinal obstruction
Paralytic ileus with vomiting and diarrhoea
High output intestinal fistulas Major intra- abdominal sepsis
7/30/2019 Nutritional Support in Emergency Patients
21/32
PARENTERAL NUTRITION-
broad indications-
pts with non-functioning or inaccessible GI tract
high output enteric fistulas In those in whom it is not possible to provide sufficient
nutrients enterally eg, short bowel syndrome, severe burns,
major trauma.
PARENTERAL ROUTES OF ACCESS- a) central venous access- positioning a catheter into SVC via
subclavian vein /internal jugular vein.

Technical aspects of feeding lines: polyuerthane vs silicone:
Advantages of polyurethane tubes
It is stiffer at room temp, but at body temp, it becomes very
pliable
It has higher tensile strength- less chance of fracture
It has smaller outside diameter-easier cannulation
Greater resistance to thrombus formation

Complications of central venous catheter-
Catheter related sepsis- 40% , staph, aureus, klebseilla,
candida sp.
Thrombosis of central vein-20%.
Pneumothorax, hemothorax
Major arterial damage
Embolism.
CATHETER CARE

PERIPHERAL VENOUS ACCESS- indications-
In patients who donot require nutritional support for long
enough to justify the risks and complications of central line
In whom central venous catheterisation is contraindicated-
Central line insertion sites are traumatised
Thrombosis of central veins
Significant clotting defects
Increased risk of infective complications
7/30/2019 Nutritional Support in Emergency Patients
25/32
PROBLEMS WITH PERIPHERAL ROUTE-
There is a limit to the amount of nutrients that can be delivered andperipheral feeding should not be provided if there is highrequirement of protein, energy
High incidence of complications like phlebitis LIFESPAN OF PERIPHERAL I.V CATHETER CAN BE PROLONGED BY-
Aseptic precautions
Using a narrow- gauge cannula- better mixing and flowcharacteristics
Adding heparin and small dose of hydrocortisone to the infusionsolution
Using a vasodialator patch

NUTRIENTS USED IN PARENTERAL FEEDING SOLUTIONS-mostfeeding teams decide on the nitrogen and energy contents.
NITROGEN SOURCES-
Casein hydroxylates or solution of crystalline L- amino acids,
that contains all essential AA with a broad spectrum of nonessential AA.
no single AA should predominate since, if its is ineffecientthen it will interfere with the use of others.
Attention is focused on the provision of L- glutamine-------- stimulates immune system , reduces
nitrogen losses post-operatively, maintains gut barrierfunctions
7/30/2019 Nutritional Support in Emergency Patients
27/32
L- arginine------------------ stimulates immune functions,
improves nitrogen retention, enhances wound healing.
Branched chain amino acids-------- improve protein synthesis
in the body.

ENERGY SOURCES
Energy is supplied as a balanced combination of dextroseand fat.
GLUCOSE is the primary carbohydrate source and mainform of energy supply to majority of tissues.
During critical illness the bodys preferred calorie source isfat.
Usually for most cirmcumstanses , approximately 35- 50 %of the total calories are given as fat and non-protein calorie: nitrogen = 150:1 to 200:1
Other nutrients like vitamins and trace elements.
Fructose, sorbitol or alcohol products should not be used asthey cause lactic acidosis and hepatocellular damage.

DELIVARY AND ADMINISTRATION OF TPN-
The feeding regimen is made up in a 3 L bag and comprises all
nutrients.
ADVANTAGES-
Cost-effectiveness, reduced risk of infections
More uniform administration of a balanced solution over a
prolonged period of time
Decreased lipid toxicity as a result of greater dilution of the lipidemulsion.
Ease of delivery and storage.

MONITORING A PATIENT ON NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT
DAILY------------------- body wt, I+O chart, serum electrolytes,
S/U/C.
TWICE WEEKLY-------- s,albumin, total protein, serum calcium,
Mg, phosphate, LFT, CH. CONTRAINDICATION TO PARENTERAL NUTRITION-
