RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the value of resting energy expenditure (REE) monitoring in nutritional support therapy of critical patients on mechanical ventilation.Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted.Sixty critical patients [acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ score (APACHE Ⅱ) ＞ 15] on ventilation admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Dalian Friendship Hospital from September 2016 to October 2018 were enrolled.The enrolled patients were randomly divided into Harris-Benedict formula (HB formula) group and indirect energy measurement (metabolic vehicle) group with 30 patients in each group.The HB formula group was used traditional HB formula to determine the energy supply and ratio of nutritional support therapy,and the metabolic vehicle group was regularly measured the energy supply and proportion of nutritional support therapy.Serum albumin (ALB),total protein (TP),lymphocyte ratio,blood glucose,blood gas analysis parameters and REE value were determined at 3,5,7,9,and 11 days of nutritional support therapy.Results The value of REE at 3 days of nutritional support therapy in metabolic vehicle group was significantly higher than that in HB formula group (kJ/d:7 850.4±947.3 vs.6 915.3±875.7,P ＜ 0.05).With the time of nutritional support treatment prolonged,the REE value of metabolic vehicle group was decreased gradually,and after 7 days,the patient's condition was stable and improved,and the REE value tended to be stable gradually,it was significantly lower than that of HB formula group at 11 days (kJ/d:5 046.3 ± 493.3 vs.6 915.3 ± 875.7,P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in blood gas analysis or plasma protein before nutritional support therapy between the two groups.After 5 days of nutritional support therapy,the respiratory function of critical patients in both groups was improved,and the lymphocyte ratio and plasma protein parameters were alleviated.After 11 days of nutrition support therapy,the respiratory function of critical patients in both groups was further improved,the ventilator model was adjusted to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mode,the lymphocyte ratio and plasma protein parameters were improved,and the skin color and elasticity were improved,the granulation of the wound was fresh and healed well,and the plasma protein level was increased obviously,ALB level in metabolic vehicle group was significantly higher than that in HB formula group (g/L:31.8 ± 2.5 vs.26.7 ± 2.3,P ＜ 0.05).In the metabolic vehicle group,REE value was decreased from the maximum level on the 3rd day (k J/d:7 850.4 ± 947.3) to a stable level after 11 days (k J/d:5 046.3 ± 493.3),and its energy ratio changed significantly,from carbohydrate:fat of 77％ ∶ 21％ with protein consumption gradually transition in the early (3 days) to carbohydrates:fat of 56％ ∶ 44％ without protein consumption in the later stage (11 days),which showed the tendency of energy consumption was reasonable.Conclusion The energy metabolism rule of critical patients on ventilation could be determined by using the accurate metabolic vehicle and dynamic monitoring of REE value,which could be used for the implementation of nutritional support therapy.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:Biliary stricture following liver transplantation is mainly focus on biliary stoma stricture; while, balloon dilatation temporarily keeps biliary tract open but not works out a solution at all.OBJECTIVE: To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of postoperative biliary stricture after orthotopie liver transplantation by the endoscope technique.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A case analysis, which was performed at Dalian Liver and Gall Surgical Institute. Ten patients hospitalized from the Department of Liver and Gall Surgery of Dalian Friendship Hospital and four patients hospitalized from the Department of Organ Transplantation of Tianjin First Central Hospital were diagnosed as biliary stricture after orthotopic liver transplantation.PARTICIPANTS: Among 14 patients, 10 males and 4 females with mean age of 46 years provided end-to-end biliary anastomose.METHODS: Fourteen cases of postoperative biliary stricture after orthotopic liver transplantation were analyzed and diagnosed by endoscope technique. And by endoscope technique, the stricture was supported with tube after balloon dilatation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Bile duct mucous membrane under T-tube radiography and endoscope; calculary distribution and bile duct mucous membrane at stoma; healing of biliary stoma of donors and recipients; inflammatory edema and stricture; recheck of above-mentioned parameters after stricture expansion by endoscopic stone extraction technique.RESULTS: Thirteen cases of postoperative biliary stricture after orthotopic liver transplantation were analyzed and diagnosed by endoscope technique, including one was induced by calculus, and one non-stoma stricture. One case was treated with balloon dilation; biliary infection and jaundice occurred in 2 cases after endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) + basket lithotripsy + endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD), so operations or fibrocholedochoscope treatments had to be carried out. By T tube radiography, in 1 case there was strip-like negative simulacrum or no stricture, well-healed anastomosis and good mucous membranel transition; poor or no intrahepatic visualization were found in 2 cases, so anastomosis dilation was processed after the calculi removal by fibrocholedochoscope, stricture disappeared in 3 or 4 months; in 8 cases there were blur extrahepatic or intrahepatic biliary visualization, cord-like, column or branch-like negative simulacrum in biliary ducts and sign of non-anastomosis stricture, after removal of calculi, anastomosis stricture and congestion, edema were found, all these disappeared after average 2.5 months of dilation; the other 1 case was found stricture by T the radiography, but no calculi was found with fibrocholedochoscope, finally the Ttube was removed after 2 months of stricture dilation.CONCLUSION: Endoscopy is significant to directly reflect and reliably diagnose postoperative biliary stricture and effectively treat biliary stricture by anastomosis dilation.
