ABSTRACT

Resumen: La falla intestinal crónica (FIC) o tipo III es una condición invalidante, y la nutrición parenteral crónica (NPC) domiciliaria es el tratamiento que permite a estos pacientes mantenerse con vida. Sin embargo, solamente uno de cada tres países latinoamericanos cuentan con ese recurso, y sus complicaciones no son infrecuentes. Estas complicaciones son las principales indicaciones para trasplante intestinal, un procedimiento que en la mayoría de los países de ingresos medios no se ha desarrollado y no ha presentado los resultados esperados. En los últimos años, la rehabilitación intestinal a nivel mundial ha mejorado sustancialmente con el uso de análogos semisintéticos del péptido 2 similares al glucagón, existiendo cada vez mayor evidencia que demuestra la posibilidad de rehabilitación intestinal e independencia de la NPC con este fármaco, incluso en pacientes con anatomía desfavorable. Estos resultados han permitido mejorar la supervivencia y la calidad de vida de pacientes con FIC y, en muchas ocasiones, prescindir del trasplante. El paciente del caso que presentamos es el primero en recibir esta terapéutica en nuestro país. En este artículo analizamos la respuesta precoz favorable al tratamiento y sus perspectivas a futuro.


Abstract: Long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is a life-saving treatment for patients with chronic intestinal failure, an invalidating condition. However, only 1 out of 3 countries can rely on this treatment and complications associated to chronic parenteral nutrition are rather frequent. The latter constitute the main indication for intestinal transplantion, a procedure that in most middle-income countries has not yet developed and has not shown the expected outcome. In recent years, intestinal rehabilitation has significantly improved at the global level with the use of GLP2, based on the growing evidence that proves the possibility of intestinal rehabilitation and independence from parenteral nutrition with Teduglutide, even in the case of patients with unfavorable anatomy. These results have caused a positive impact on survival and the quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure, and they can often abstain from transplant. The patient of the case study is the first one who received this therapy in our country and this article analyses his favorable early response to treatment and future perspectives.


Resumo: A insuficiência intestinal crônica (CIF) ou tipo III é uma condição incapacitante e a nutrição parenteral crônica (NPC) domiciliar é o tratamento que permite a sobrevida desses pacientes. No entanto, apenas 1 em cada 3 países latino-americanos dispõe desse recurso e as complicações da NPC não são raras. Essas complicações são as principais indicações para o transplante intestinal, procedimento que na maioria dos países de renda média não foi desenvolvido ou não apresentou os resultados esperados. Nos últimos anos, a reabilitação intestinal em todo o mundo tem melhorado substancialmente com o uso de sGLP2, com um número cada vez maior de evidências que mostram a possibilidade de reabilitação intestinal e independência da NPC, mesmo em pacientes com anatomia desfavorável. Esses resultados têm possibilitado prolongar a sobrevida e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes com CIF e, em muitos casos, dispensar o transplante. O paciente do caso que apresentamos é o primeiro a receber essa terapia em nosso país. Neste artigo, analisamos a resposta favorável ao tratamento precoce e suas perspectivas futuras.

ABSTRACT

La falla intestinal (FI) se define como la disminución de la función del intestino por debajo de lo mínimo necesario para la absorción de los macronutrientes y / o agua y electrolitos, de tal manera que se requiere de la suplementación intravenosa (SIV) para mantener la salud y el crecimiento. Desde el punto de vista funcional se clasifica en tres tipos. FI tipo I: condición aguda, de corto duración y generalmente auto limitada, FI tipo II: estado agudo prolongado, a menudo en pacientes metabólicamente inestables, que requieren cuidado multidisciplinario y SIV durante períodos de una semana o meses, acompañada de complicaciones sépticas, metabólicas y nutricionales y FI tipo III: condición crónica, en pacientes metabólicamente estables, que requieren SIV durante meses o años. Su manejo requiere de terapia nutricional y en casos seleccionados cirugía autóloga de reconstrucción(AU)


Intestinal failure (FI) is defined as the decrease in intestinal function below the minimum necessary for the absorption of macronutrients and / or water and electrolytes, in such a way that intravenous supplementation (IVS) is required to maintain health and growth. From a functional point of view, it is classified into three types. FI type I: acute condition, of short duration and generally self-limited, FI type II: prolonged acute state, often in metabolically unstable patients, requiring multidisciplinary care and SIV for periods of a week or months, accompanied by septic, metabolic and nutrition and FI type III: chronic condition, in metabolically stable patients, who require SIV for months or years. Its management requires nutritional therapy and in selected cases autologous reconstruction surgery(AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Intestinal failure (IF) was first defined as "a reduction in the functioning gut mass below the minimal amount necessary for adequate digestion and absorption." In our environment, there are no statistical data for IF in adult patients' extended length of stay (LOS), nor the economic impact that it implies. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to describe the association between the IF type and extended LOS. METHODS: Patients admitted to our IF Unit between March 2016 and March 2018 were enrolled. We conducted a 2-year retrospective cross-sectional study. RESULTS: From the total of 53 patients, 35% corresponded to type I IF, 58.5% to type II IF, and 7.5% to type III IF. The mean LOS, according to the type of functional IF was 51 days for type I, 77.48 days for type II, and 68.25 days for type III. The mean LOS for the three IF types was 67.79 days. CONCLUSION: Extended LOS occurs in an important proportion of patients with IF, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality, as well as in costs and associated side effects. Future research should focus on economic studies, to know the economic impact that this subject entails for our health systems.


ANTECEDENTES: En nuestro entorno no existen datos estadísticos sobre la falla intestinal en adultos, su estancia hospitalaria prolongada (EHP) ni el impacto económico que implica. OBJETIVO: Describir la asociación entre el tipo de falla intestinal y la estancia hospitalaria prolongada en pacientes de la unidad de falla intestinal del Hospital Central del Estado Chihuahua, México. MÉTODO: Se realizó un estudio transversal retrospectivo con un total de 53 participantes durante el periodo de marzo de 2016 a marzo de 2018. RESULTADOS: De los 53 pacientes, el 35% tuvieron falla intestinal tipo I, el 58.5% tipo II y el 7.5% tipo III. La media de estancia fue de 51 días para la falla intestinal tipo I, 77,48 días para la tipo II y 68,25 días para la tipo III. La media de estancia hospitalaria para los tres tipos de insuficiencia intestinal fue de 67,79 días. CONCLUSIONES: La estancia hospitalaria prolongada ocurre en una proporción importante de pacientes con falla intestinal, lo que resulta en un aumento de la morbilidad, la mortalidad y los costos. Investigaciones futuras deberían centrarse en la realización de estudios económicos para conocer el impacto que esta cuestión tiene para nuestros sistemas de salud.

ABSTRACT

Damage control and gastrointestinal surgery have come a long way from the first reported case of an enterocutaneous fistula to advances in Intestinal transplant and vacuum assisted therapy. Everything we have known in between such as intestinal resections, enteral/parenteral nutrition, delayed abdominal wall closure and intestinal reconstruction have all lead to an exponential increase in our knowledge of gastrointestinal surgery. One area that still remains a significant challenge and clinical dilemma to the general surgeon is intestinal failure in short bowel syndrome. Not only does the anatomical complexity of short bowel syndrome offer difficulties in the definite reconstruction, but also the accompanying intestinal failure increases patient morbidity and mortality. There are no current algorithms or systematic approaches to these daunting clinical scenarios and although surgery has come a long way, there is still room for determining optimal approaches. Therefore, it is critical to keep researching new ways to treat these patients. A relatively new horizon in managing intestinal failure in short bowel syndrome is the use of biomarkers. Here we present a short review on the possible future treatment. The aim of this paper is to provide a pathway for future research into the treatment of this complex area of general surgery


La cirugía gastrointestinal y de control de daños ha tenido un recorrido amplio desde el primer caso reportado de fístula entero-cutánea, hasta llegar al uso de presión subatmosférica para el cierre asistido y el trasplante intestinal. Todos los avances propuestos en el intermedio, como las resecciones intestinales, los planes de nutrición entérica y parenteral, el cierre postergado de la pared abdominal y la reconstrucción intestinal, han llevado a un aumento exponencial del conocimiento de la cirugía gastrointestinal. A pesar de esto, hay un área que permanece como un reto significativo y un dilema clínico para el cirujano general: la falla intestinal en el síndrome de intestino corto. En esta, su complejidad anatómica presenta dificultades a la hora de su reconstrucción, y su alteración funcional aumenta la morbimortalidad del paciente. Así como sucede en la mayoría de las fallas específicas de órganos, esta se caracteriza por cambios en los marcadores séricos que ya han sido bien descritos en la literatura médica. En la falla cardiaca hay elevación del péptido natriurético auricular; en la falla renal, elevación de la creatinina sérica; en la falla hepática, elevación de las transaminasas, y así sucesivamente. Estos marcadores no solo indican la gravedad de la situación, sino que se relacionan con la suficiencia del órgano en cuanto a su función y su mejoría con la rehabilitación. Ahora, ¿cuáles son los marcadores del sistema gastrointestinal? Recientemente, la seriedad de la falla intestinal y su solución han sido objeto de la observación clínica y sintomática con el fin de determinar la orientación de la rehabilitación intestinal y el momento ideal para el inicio de la vía oral. En los últimos años han surgido biomarcadores pertinentes al estudio del sistema digestivo. En esta revisión se discuten los aspectos relacionados con el presente y el futuro de los marcadores serológicos intestinales en el síndrome de intestino corto

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Patients with intestinal failure are unable to maintain adequate nutrition and hydration due to a reduction in the functional area of the intestine. Different strategies have the potential to benefit these patients by promoting intestinal autonomy, enhancing quality of life, and increasing survival. AIMS: To describe the clinical characteristics of children with intestinal failure and disease progression in terms of intestinal autonomy and survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted, evaluating 33 pediatric patients with intestinal failure that were hospitalized within the time frame of December 2005 and December 2013 at a tertiary care referral center. Patient characteristics were described upon hospital admission, estimating the probability of achieving intestinal autonomy and calculating the survival rate. RESULTS: Patient median age upon hospital admission was 2 months (interquartile range [IQR]: 1-4 months) and 54.5% of the patients were boys. Intestinal autonomy was achieved in 69.7% of the cases with a median time of 148 days (IQR: 63 - 431 days), which decreased to 63 days in patients with a spared ileocecal valve. Survival was 91% during a median follow-up of 281 days (IQR: 161 - 772 days). CONCLUSIONS: Medical management of patients with intestinal failure is complex. Nutritional support and continuous monitoring are of the utmost importance and long-term morbidity and mortality depends on the early recognition and management of the associated complications.

ABSTRACT

Presentación del caso: El objetivo de este artículo es presentar la experiencia exitosa del manejo multidisciplinario de una paciente con síndrome de intestino corto y falla intestinal con evolución a la adaptación intestinal. Se trata de una recién nacida prematura con atresia intestinal tipo IV, con múltiples atresias intestinales, quien evolucionó a la falla intestinal y requirió manejo con soporte nutricional parenteral prolongado, múltiples esquemas antibióticos, probióticos, multivitaminas, nutrición enteral con fórmula elemental, hasta lograr su adaptación intestinal y llevar a una dieta normal. La falla intestinal en estos pacientes es un reto para el equipo de salud, ya que no solo implica el manejo quirúrgico de su condición de base, si no del soporte nutricional, equilibrio hidroelectrolítico, disfunción hepática por colestasis, infecciones asociadas, etcétera. Discusión: El síndrome de intestino corto con evolución a la falla intestinal en niños es una condición, cuya prevalencia va en aumento en el ámbito mundial, gracias a los avances en el cuidado intensivo neonatal, cirugía neonatal y en el soporte nutricional de pacientes con condiciones como gastrosquisis, onfalocele y enterocolitis necrotizante. A pesar de las limitaciones del sistema de salud, es posible ofrecer un tratamiento multidisciplinario e integral para llevarlos hasta la adaptación intestinal.


Short bowel syndrome with progression to intestinal failure in children is a condition whose prevalence is increasing worldwide, thanks to advances in neonatal intensive care, neonatal surgery, and nutritional support of patients with conditions such as gastroschisis, omphalocele and enterocolitis. Objective: To present the successful experience of multidisciplinary management of a patient with short bowel syndrome and intestinal failure with progression to intestinal adaptation. Clinical case: A newly born premature with intestinal atresia type IV with multiple intestinal atresia, which evolved to intestinal failure and required management with prolonged parenteral nutritional support, multiple antibiotic schemes, prebiotics, multivitamins, enteral nutrition with elemental formula, in order to achieve their intestinal adaptation and enabling a normal diet. The evolution of these patients' intestinal failure is a challenge for the health team, as it not only involves the surgical management of the patient's condition, but the basic nutritional support, the fluid and electrolyte balance, hepatic dysfunction due to cholestasis associated infections, etc. Conclusion: Despite the limitations of our health care system, it is possible to offer a multidisciplinary and integrated treatment to lead to intestinal adaptation.
