Abstract:
In 15 patients after resection of a part of the large intestine the efficacy of a complete solution for total parenteral nutrition was investigated. Glucose concentrations were 20 mg/dl higher than normal from the operation up to the fifth postoperative day. Electrolyte concentrations were normal during the investigation period. There was only a decrease in the total protein concentration to a lower normal range after the operation till the fifth postoperative day. No systemic or special side effects appeared after the infusion.
