ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effects of hypocaloric parenteral nutrition on metabolism and prognosis of aged post-traumatic patients. Methods The prospective randomized controlled study was designed. Twenty-four aged post-operative patients were divided into 2 groups hypocaloric parenteral nutrition group (Caloric 15 kcal?kg -1?d -1/Nitrogen 0.1 g?kg -1?d -1 ) and traditional parenteral nutrition (Caloric 28 kcal?kg -1?d -1/Nitrogen 0. 2 g?kg -1?d -1), respectively. Serum glucose, protein, and lipid levels, infection-related complications, nutrition therapy hospital expenses, hospitalization duration after operation were analysed. Results During nutritious fluid transfusion at 1-5 days after operation, nutrition therapies, serum glucose level of hypocaloric group was obviously lower than that of the traditional group 〔(6.8?0.3) mmol L -1 vs (8.3?0.4) mmol?L -1 , P
