Enteral Versus Parenteral Feeding Effects on Septic Morbidity After Blunt and Penetrating Abdominal Trauma

Abstract: To investigate the importance of route of nutrient administration on septic complications after blunt and penetrating trauma, 98 patients with an abdominal trauma index of at least 15 were randomized to either enteral or parenteral feeding within 24 hours of injury. Septic morbidity was defined as pneumonia, intra-abdominal abscess, empyema, line sepsis, or fasciitis with wound dehiscence. Patients were fed formulas with almost identical amounts of fat, carbohydrate, and protein. Two patients died early in the… Show more

“…In studies of severely injured trauma patients, individuals randomized to enteral feeding sustained significantly fewer pneumonias and intraabdominal abscesses than an injured group fed parenterally [15,[20][21][22]. Experimentally, our work and that of others show that route and type of nutrition influence established mucosal immunologic defenses [13,16], intraperitoneal cytokine and immunologic responses [18], and systemic inflammatory responses to injury [6][7][8].…”

“…Parenteral nutrition (PN) increases infectious morbidity due to pneumonia and intra-abdominal abscesses in severely injured patients compared to enteral feeding [15,[20][21][22]. Increasing evidence suggests that a PN-induced mucosal immune deficiency is at least partly responsible for this difference in clinical outcome.…”
