[Problems with hyperalimentation in intensive care units (author's transl)]

A F Leutenegger, H Göschke, G Wolff

    Langenbecks Archiv Fur Chirurgie
    |November 15, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Parenteral nutrition in intensive care units is challenging due to patient conditions like shock and metabolic disorders. Sugar substitutes may offer benefits for caloric needs when glucose intolerance is present, but careful catheter management is vital.

    Area of Science:

    • Critical care medicine
    • Nutritional support
    • Metabolic disorders

    Context:

    • Parenteral nutrition (PN) is crucial for intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
    • Clinical limitations include shock, septicemia, and metabolic disturbances.
    • Stress or trauma can induce glucose intolerance, complicating nutritional management.

    Purpose:

    • To explore the utility of sugar substitutes in PN for ICU patients.
    • To address challenges in meeting caloric requirements due to glucose intolerance.
    • To highlight the importance of managing central venous catheters.

    Summary:

    • Parenteral nutrition (PN) in intensive care units (ICUs) faces limitations due to patient instability and metabolic issues.
    • Glucose intolerance, often seen in critically ill patients, hinders the use of glucose-based caloric delivery.
