Abstract:
Objective To summarize the clinical application of parenteral nutrition (PN) in Fuwai Hospital. Methods The clinical applications of PN in 132 critically ill patients undergoing cardiac surgery in our hospital were retrospectively investigated and analyzed. Results The application of PN in Fuwai hospital was basically appropriate and standardized. Energy supply in PN formulation was reasonably low, but still met the energy needs of patients in the fasting period. The nutritional composition and energy/nitrogen ratio in the formulation were basically rational. However, problems including the lack of double energy in partial formulation, low proportion of glucose-supplied energy due to low glucose-lipid ratio, and insufficient supply of insulin still existed. One (0.76%)patient was discharged according to his own decision; 22 ( 16.67% ) patients died, which were not directly associated with PN; and the other 109 (82.58%) patients were cured and discharged. Conclusion Application of PN for critically ill patients undergoing cardiac surgery must strictly follow the operation indications and rationally select nutritional components and proportions to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
