Key result
Combined parenteral nutrition is linked to ~2-3 days faster GI recovery vs standard nutrition in peritonitis.
Why the study?
Optimization of postoperative nutritional support in patients with peritonitis is needed to improve correction of metabolic disorders and critical condition outcomes.
Does nutritional support with glucose, amino acids, and fat emulsions improve recovery and metabolic disorders in patients with peritonitis compared to glucose and amino acids alone?
Cohort (n=80)
No
Does nutritional support with glucose, amino acids, and fat emulsions improve recovery and metabolic disorders in patients with peritonitis compared to glucose and amino acids alone?
Parenteral nutrition including fat emulsions alongside glucose and amino acids improves metabolic and clinical recovery in patients with peritonitis.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May hasten GI recovery in peritonitis; hypothesis-generating and leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Summary. Retrospectively examined 38 patients aged 18 to 71 years with peritonitis, who were included in the comparison group. The retrospective comparison group received nutritional therapy due to concentrated glucose solutions, and as plastic material patients received amino acid solutions. The study group included 42 patients who received nutritional support as concentrated solutions of glucose, amino acids in combination with fat emulsions, depending on daily energy needs. Inclusion in the intensive care unit of parenteral nutrition is a powerful therapeutic factor that contributes to the correction of immunosuppression, intestinal failure syndrome, and early recovery of gastrointestinal function, improving nitrogen balance and thus improving the treatment of critical conditions.

Boyko et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Peritonitis (n=80). Parenteral nutrition with glucose, amino acids, and fat emulsions vs. Concentrated glucose and amino acid solutions only was evaluated on Recovery of gastrointestinal function. Parenteral nutrition combining glucose, amino acids, and fat emulsions accelerated the recovery of gastrointestinal function by 2-3 days and improved metabolic parameters in patients with peritonitis compared to standard nutrition.
