C J Brenner, R L Atkinson

    Nutrition Reviews
    |November 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Patients with short bowel syndrome require intensive nutritional support, transitioning from total parenteral nutrition (TPN) to oral feeding with counseling. Individualized enteral feeding programs are crucial for maintaining nutritional status and preventing complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Nutrition
    • Surgical Case Report

    Background:

    • Short bowel syndrome (SBS) presents significant nutritional challenges post-resection.
    • Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is often the initial life-sustaining therapy for SBS.
    • Enteral feeding intolerance can complicate management in SBS patients.

    Observation:

    • A 32-year-old female with massive small bowel infarction underwent resection, leaving 40 cm of functional bowel.
    • Initial TPN was complicated by poor compliance with subsequent enteral feeding attempts.
    • Intensive counseling improved patient compliance, enabling successful oral feeding.

    Findings:

    • Successful transition from TPN to oral feeding is achievable in select SBS patients.
    • Individualized nutritional support and patient counseling are key to managing SBS.
    • Early recognition and management of complications are critical for survival in SBS.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of aggressive enteral feeding trials in SBS management.
    • Tailored nutritional programs can improve quality of life and outcomes for SBS patients.
    • Healthcare providers must be vigilant for SBS complications, ensuring timely intervention.
