Influence of Preoperative Peripheral Parenteral Nutrition with Micronutrients after Colorectal Cancer Patients

الملخص EN

Background.

The inflammatory reactions are stronger after surgery of malnourished preoperative patients.

Many studies have shown vitamin and trace element deficiencies appear to affect the functioning of immune cells.

Enteral nutrition is often inadequate for malnourished patients.

Therefore, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is considered an effective method for providing preoperative nutritional support.

TPN needs a central vein catheter, and there are more risks associated with TPN.

However, peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) often does not provide enough energy or nutrients.

Purpose.

This study investigated the inflammatory response and prognosis for patients receiving a modified form of PPN with added fat emulsion infusion, multiple vitamins (MTV), and trace elements (TE) to assess the feasibility of preoperative nutritional support.

Methods.

A cross-sectional design was used to compare the influence of PPN with or without adding MTV and TE on malnourished abdominal surgery patients.

Results.

Both preoperative groups received equal calories and protein, but due to the lack of micronutrients, patients in preoperative Group B exhibited higher inflammation, lower serum albumin levels, and higher anastomotic leak rates and also required prolonged hospital stays.

Conclusion.

Malnourished patients who receive micronutrient supplementation preoperatively have lower postoperative inflammatory responses and better prognoses.

PPN with added fat emulsion, MTV, and TE provides valid and effective preoperative nutritional support.
