Abstract

Background: The effects of immediate postoperative enteral nutrition on postoperative nitrogen balance and insulin resistance were studied in patients subjected to an enhanced-recovery protocol. Methods: Eighteen patients undergoing major colorectal surgery in an enhanced-recovery protocol were randomized to immediate postoperative enteral feeding for 4 days with either complete or hypocaloric nutrition. Nitrogen balance and changes in glucose kinetics, substrate utilization (indirect calorimetry) and insulin sensitivity (hyperinsulinaemic–euglycaemic clamp) were measured. Values are mean(s.e.m.). Results: Mean postoperative urinary nitrogen losses were low (10·7(1·0) versus 10·5(0·7) g per day for complete versus hypocaloric nutrition) and insulin resistance was insignificant (−20(7) versus − 27(11) per cent), with no difference between groups. Complete enteral feeding was given without hyperglycaemia (blood glucose concentration 5·8(0·4) versus 5·0(0·4) mmol/l) and resulted in nitrogen balance (+0·1(0·8) versus − 12·6(0·6) g nitrogen per day; P < 0·001). Conclusion: This enhanced-recovery protocol was associated with minimal postoperative insulin resistance and nitrogen losses after surgery. Immediate postoperative enteral nutrition was provided without hyperglycaemia and resulted in nitrogen balance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
