Abstract

BACKGROUND: We investigated the effects of early immunonutrition on the development of nosocomial infections and clinical outcome in intensive care patients. METHODS: Thirty mechanically ventilated patients were randomly assigned to two enteral nutrition regimens in the intensive care unit. Fifteen patients (8 males, 7 females; mean age 54 years; range 21 to 72 years) received immunonutrition solution containing arginine, nucleotides, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, while controls (10 males, 5 females; mean age 55 years; range 24 to 78 years) received isocaloric solution. The patients were evaluated daily using the APACHE II and SOFA (Simplified Organ Failure Assessment) scoring systems. Infections were sought in tracheal, blood, urine, and catheter cultures. Changes in nitrogen balance, leukocyte count, and APACHE II and SOFA scores were compared. RESULTS: Significant changes in nitrogen balance, APACHE II and SOFA scores, and leukocyte count were found in the study group (p<0.001, p<0.0001, p<0.0001, p<0.05, respectively), whereas no significant differences were detected in the control group. Cultures were positive in nine patients in the immunonutrition group, and in 12 patients in the control group. Septic shock and mortality rates were 26% and 20% in the study patients, and 40% and 33% in the controls, respectively (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Patients receiving immunonutrition exhibit better nutritional status and improved scores showing clinical severity and organ failure.

Özet

AMAÇ Yoğun bakımda erken dönemde enteral yoldan başlanan immünonütrisyonun, nozokomiyal enfeksiyon gelişimi ve klinik sonuca etkisi değerlendirildi. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Yoğun bakım ünitesinde mekanik ventilasyon uygulanan 30 hasta rastgele seçimle iki enteral beslenme grubuna ayrıldı. İmmünonutrisyon grubundaki 15 hastaya (8 erkek, 7 kadın; ort. yaş 54; dağılım 21-72) arjinin, pürin nükleotitler ve poli doymamış yağ asitleri içeren solüsyon; kontrol grubundaki 15 hastaya (10 erkek, 5 kadın; ort. yaş 55; dağılım 24-78) izokalorik beslenme solüsyonu verildi. Hastalar APACHE II ve SOFA (Simplified Organ Failure Assessment) skorları ile değerlendirildi. Trakeal, kan, idrar ve kateter kültürleriyle enfeksiyon varlığı araştırıldı. Azot dengesi, lökosit sayısı ve APACHE II ve SOFA skorlarının zaman içindeki değişimleri karşılaştırıldı. BULGULAR Azot dengesi, APACHE II ve SOFA skorları ve lökosit değerleri immünonutrisyon grubunda anlamlı olarak farklılık gösterdi (sırasıyla p 0.05). SONUÇ İmmünonutrisyon uygulanan hastalarda daha iyi bir beslenme desteğinin sağlandığı, organ yetersizliği ve klinik tablonun ağırlık derecesini yansıtan Skorlarda iyileşme olduğu görüldü.
