Multidisciplinary consensus on nutritional and metabolic therapy in enhanced recovery after abdominal surgery programs: NutRICA Project.

BACKGROUND: The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care pathways include evidence-based items designed to accelerate recovery after surgery. Interdisciplinarity is one of the key points of ERAS programs. OBJECTIVE: To prepare a consensus document among the members of the Nutrition Area of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN) and the Spanish Group for Multimodal Rehabilitation (GERM), in which the goal is to homogenize the nutritional and metabolic management of patients included in an ERAS program. METHODS: 69 specialists in Endocrinology and Nutrition and 85 members of the GERM participated in the project. After a literature review, 79 statements were proposed, divided into 5 sections: 17 of general characteristics, 28 referring to the preoperative period, 4 to the intraoperative, 13 to the perioperative and 17 to the postoperative period. The degree of consensus was determined through a Delphi process of 2 circulations that was ratified by a consistency analysis. RESULTS: Overall, in 61 of the 79 statements there was a consistent agreement, with the degree of consensus being greater among members of the SEEN (64/79) than members of the GERM (59/79). Within the 18 statements where a consistent agreement was not reached, we should highlight some important nutritional strategies such as muscle mass assessment, the start of early oral feeding or pharmaconutrition. CONCLUSION: Consensus was reached on the vast majority of the nutritional measures and care included in ERAS programs. Due to the lack of agreement on certain key points, it is necessary to continue working closely with both societies to improve the recovery of the surgical patients.

Evaluación y manejo del riesgo cardiovascular residual en el paciente con diabetes / Evaluation and management of residual cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes

La presencia de diabetes (tipos 1 y 2) incrementa el riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular aterosclerótica. A pesar de un control metabólico adecuado y un tratamiento de los factores de riesgo vascular hasta alcanzar los objetivos recomendados por las guías clínicas, el riesgo cardiovascular residual de algunos pacientes con diabetes puede ser muy elevado. Es necesario por ello estratificar de la forma más precisa posible el riesgo vascular del paciente individual. Estrategias consolidadas para mejorar el pronóstico de los pacientes son la reducción agresiva del colesterol LDL, el control de la presión arterial, la consecución del mejor control posible de la HbA1c, sin inducir hipoglucemias, la utilización de fármacos hipoglucemiantes con beneficio cardiovascular y el empleo de antiagregantes en los pacientes de mayor riesgo inicial. Estrategias emergentes para pacientes con riesgo muy alto o extremo serían la utilización de fármacos destinados a reducir las lipoproteínas ricas en triglicéridos y la inflamación

Presence of diabetes (types 1 and 2) increases the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Despite adequate metabolic control and treatment of vascular risk factors until the goals recommended by the clinical practice guidelines are achieved, residual cardiovascular risk may be very high in some patients with diabetes. Stratifying the vascular risk for each patient as precisely as possible is therefore necessary. Consolidated strategies to improve patient prognosis include aggressive reduction of LDL cholesterol, blood pressure control, achievement of the best HbA1c control possible without inducing hypoglycemia, use of hypoglycemic drugs shown to have cardiovascular benefits, and use of platelet aggregation inhibitors in patients with greater initial risk. Emerging strategies for patients with very high or extreme risk would include use of drugs intended to decrease triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and inflammation
