Metabolic Response and Nutritional Support in Traumatic Brain Injury: Evidence for Resistance to Renutrition

Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most severe injuries encountered in intensive care units. TBI patients exhibit protein wasting and gastrointestinal dysfunction, which may be risk factors for a septic state. Specific nutritional support may be required for these patients, and we hypothesize that standard nutritional support does not allow restoration of the nutritional state of TBI patients. A well-validated rat model of TBI by fluid percussion was used. Rats were randomized into three groups: health… Show more

“…One of the consequences of hypermetabolism is a systemic impairment of the immune system, resulting in a serious risk for the development of sepsis. As a consequence, infections are the most common complication following a TBI, affecting 50-75 % of all patients (Charrueau et al 2009). …”

“…Bacterial counts were performed on Drigalski agar for enterobacteria, and on Drigalski supplemented with 30 lg/mL kanamycin for E. coli-Xen14. Several organs (jejunum, ileum, liver, extensor digitorum longus [EDL], tibialis, soleus, gastrocnemius, spleen, and thymus) were removed and weighed as previously described (Charrueau et al, 2009).…”
