Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of isocaloric, isonitrogenous carbohydrate nutrition vs. lipid-based total parenteral nutrition on respiratory gas exchange and intermediary metabolism in critically ill patients. DESIGN: Prospective, clinical trial. SETTING: Surgical intensive care unit in a major university hospital in Switzerland. PATIENTS: Sixteen patients admitted to the surgical intensive care unit. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomized to receive isocaloric isonitrogenous total parenteral nutrition (TPN) containing 75% (TPN-glucose) or 15% (TPN-lipid) glucose over a 5-day period. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Indirect glucose metabolism was assessed from plasma carbon-13 (13C)-labeled glucose and 13C-labeled CO2 production during a tracer infusion of uniformly 13C-labeled glucose, and de novo lipogenesis was estimated from the incorporation of 13C into palmitate-very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) during a tracer infusion of 1-(13)C acetate. Compared with TPN-lipid, TPN-glucose increased plasma glucose more (by 26% vs. 7%, p < .05), increased insulin more (by 284% vs. 40%, p < .01), and increased total CO2 more (by 15% vs. 0%, p < .01). Both nutrient mixtures failed to inhibit endogenous glucose production and net protein oxidation, suggesting absence of suppression of gluconeogenesis. Fractional de novo lipogenesis was markedly increased by TPN-glucose to 17.4% vs. 3.3% with TPN lipids. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of glucose administration commonly used during TPN of critically ill patients does not suppress endogenous glucose production or net protein loss, but markedly stimulates de novo lipogenesis and CO2 production. Increasing the proportion of fat may be beneficial, provided that lipid emulsion has no adverse effects.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Both metoclopramide and erythromycin have been shown to be efficacious for elevated gastric residuals in an earlier meta-analysis not limited to critically ill patients.

    “Both drugs have also been shown to be efficacious for elevated gastric residuals in an earlier meta-analysis not limited to critically ill patients (114).”
  • Excessive glucose based energy provision is associated with hyperglycemia, enhanced CO2 production, enhanced lipogenesis, increased insulin requirements and no advantage in protein sparing in comparison with lipid based energy provision.

    “Excessive glucose based energy provision is associated with hyperglycemia, enhanced CO 2 production, enhanced lipogenesis, increased insulin requirements and no advantage in protein sparing in comparison with lipid based energy provision [69].”

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.
