Chapter 54 Benefit of Early enteral feeding versus parenteral nutrition
本篇篇名为早期肠内与肠外营养的优点比较。病人的营养供给是必需的,但选择的途径可以有所不同,如肠内营养或肠外营养。比较而言,这两种营养均比较安全。本篇主要对一些病人的早期营养与肠外营养进行比较,结果提示,早期场内营养在降低感染和减少住院时间等方面有优势。
It is often said that enteral nutrition is safer and more efficacious than the parenteral route.
人们通常认为肠内营养比肠外营养更安全,更有效.但这一观点并没有在早期的动物实验和临床研究中得到承认
However a preliminary note of caution is raised from observations in experimental animals, which concluded that outcomes of enteral and parentaeral nutrition were equivalent when animals with catheter sepsis were eliminated.
但是动物实验观察得到的初部结果告诉我们当导管脓毒症消除以后,肠内和肠外营养结果是类似的。
Numerous studies have shown that it is safe to feed the gut in the immediate postoperative period and that this practice does not place the integrity of intestinal anastomoses at risk.
为数众多的研究标明术后即刻的肠内营养是安全的,同时对肠吻合口也不会带来风险。
Early feeding has been studied primarily in two patient populations: those who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery and in traumatically injured or critically ill persons.
早期进食实验最初是在两组实验病人中进行:一组是为胃肠术后病人,另一组为创伤或危重病人。
A recent meta-analysis reviewed 11 prospective, randomized, controlled trails that compared the practice of early enteral feeding to maintaining patients NPO after elective gastrointestinal surgery.
最近的一项meta分析对11个随机分组前瞻性研究来对照择期胃肠术后早期肠内营养与禁食病人。
This analysis of 837 patients concluded that there is no clear advantage to keeping patients NPO postoperatively and that early feeding may be of benefit in decreasing infections and shortening postoperative length of stay. 对837位病人的研究标明术后禁食病人(比早期肠内营养)没有明显益处,而且早期进食可以降低感染率,缩短住院时间。
However, a closer evaluation of this data reveals that the length of stay was reduced only by 0.84 day, and although there was an increase in “any type of infection” in the NPO group, when considered individually, there was no difference in the incidence of anastomotic dehiscence, wound infections, pneumonia, intra-abdominal abscess, or mortality.
但是,另一项相近的研究认为禁食组病人虽然住院时间缩短了0.84天,但“感染”发生率提高了,个别进行分析的结果表明,吻和口瘘,切口感染,肺炎,腹内脓肿及死亡率(两组间)没有差别。
In 2001 Marik and Zaloga performed a meta-analysis of 15 randomized, controlled trails involving 753 subjects that compared early with delayed enteral nutrition in critically ill surgical patients. Early enteral nutrition was associated with a significantly lower incidence of infection (relative risk reduction of 0.45) and reduced length of hospital stay (2.2 days less).
2001年 Marik 和Zaloga 对15组753例危重外科病人进行了meta分析以比较早期和晚期肠内营养的疗效。早期肠内营养组感染发生率明显较低(相对风险降低0.45),住院日也有减少(少2.2天)。
There were no differences in noninfectious complications or in mortality. The authors concluded that early initiation of enteral feeding was beneficial, but this result must be interpreted with caution because of substantial heterogeneity between studies.
非感染性并发症和死亡率无明显差别。作者认为早期肠内营养是有益的,但是考虑到研究中的差异性,这个结果需要谨慎对待
The studies that compared enteral and parenteral nutrition in the trauma population, as discussed earlier, concluded that enteral was superior because of an attenuated inflammatory response and a decrease in septic morbidity.
Attenuated衰减,减弱
Inflammatory炎症性
septic morbidity
败血症发病率由于感染率和败血症发病率低,正如先前所进行的创伤病人有关肠内和肠外营养的结果得出,肠内营养超过肠外营养。
When these studies are examined more closely, it is clear that patients who were fed enterally usually received significantly less calories than those fed parenterally.
经过严密的研究发现肠内营养的病人吸收的热量明显少于肠外营养病人。
This discrepancy of “relative overfeeding” in the TPN groups in many instances led to hyperglycemia, presumably predisposing patients to immune dysfunction and nosocomial infection.
Discrepancy不一致,偏差 Hyperglycemia高血糖症
nosocomial infection院内感染 Predispose成为因素
TPN组相对营养过度使许多病人产生高血糖症,据推测可以导致免疫功能下降和院内感染。
Thus, poor glucose control alone may account for the observed differences in outcome.
account for说明,解释
因此,血糖控制不佳可以解释说观察到的结果的差异。
In more contemporary studies where feeds are carefully advanced in a manner that avoids hyperglycemia and groups are fed equivalent protein and calories, there appears to be little difference in clinical outcome between enteral and parenteral routes of feeding.
Contemporary当代的,同代的
Equivalent相当的,相等的
当代的研究发现,如果肠外营养经过改进避免高血糖的可能,给予与肠内营养相似的蛋白质和热量,两组之间的预后差异不大。
Enteral nutrition also can endanger patient safety in unique ways.
Endanger使危险,危及
Unique独特的
肠内营养也可以危及病人的安危。
Deaths in persons receiving enteral nutrition are often due to aspiration, for example when gastric motility suddenly is impaired with the onset of sepsis
Aspiration误吸
gastric motility
肠内营养病人的死亡常常是由于误吸,如由于败血症的发生说导致的胃能动性的损伤。
One death from aspiration is equivalent to the mortality over 2 to 3 years of well-operated parenteral nutrition program, despite the danger of catheter sepsis, which in well-operated units is now less than 1% to 3%.
equivalent 相当的,相等的 catheter sepsis导管脓毒症
除了导管脓毒症的危险以外,通常在管理良好的单位发病率低于1%至3%,误吸的死亡率与实行了2-3年良好管理的肠外营养病人相当。
