Abstract:
Objective To explore the methods of the nutritional support of children with severe sepsis.Methods The biochemical index,nutrition index,blood gas,blood routine and 24 hours urinary urea nitrogen of 198 children with severe sepsis were detected after hospitalization.Enteral nutrition,parenteral nutrition,or enteral and parenteral nutrition at the same time were selected for every children according to patients status.Children with parenteral nutrition were divided into glutamine (Gln) group and non-Gln group.Nutrition and metabolism indexes of survival and dead children were detected,including blood glucose,C-reactive protein,hemoglobin (Hb),pH,blood sodium,blood potassium,alanine transaminase,blood urea nitrogen,creatinine,blood lacticacid,lactate clearance rate,blood triglycerides,blood total cholesterol,serum pre-albumin (PA),retinal-binding protein (RBP),serum albumin (ALB) and 24 hours urinary urea nitrogen.The intake of calories were compared between survival and dead children before nutrition support (0 d),3 d and 7 d after nutrition support.Immunoglobulins of Gln group and non-Gln group were compared.Results The nutrition indexes of the survival group were higher than those of dead group [PA (130.0 ± 30.0) mg/L vs (50.8 ±20.5) mg/L,RBP(22.3 ±10.3) mg/L vs (15.7 ±6.7) mg/L,ALB(35.3 ±8.1) g/L vs (28.7 ±6.2) g/L,Hb(113.2 ±27.7) g/L vs (95.3 ±10.6) g/L,IgA(0.40 ±0.03) g/L vs (0.40 ±0.03) g/L,IgM(0.52 ±0.18) g/L vs (0.49 ±0.03) g/L] (P ＜0.05).The intake calories of survival group in 3 d and 7 d after nutrition support were (50.32 ±2.76) kcal/(kg·d) and (65.70 ±3.25) kcal/(kg·d),which were significantly higher than those of dead group [(32.54 ± 1.72) kcal/(kg·d) and (46.12 ± 1.08) kcal/(kg·d)).Among the survival children with parenteral nutrition,the levels of immunoglobulin in Gln group were higher than non-Gln group [IgG(4.93 ± 2.1) g/L vs (4.01 ± 1.03) g/L,IgA (0.31 ± 0.07) g/L vs (0.19 ±0.03) g/L,IgM(0.52 ±0.08) g/L vs (0.32 ±0.10) g/L] (P ＜0.05).Negative nitrogen balance was better in Gln group as(-2.5 ± 1.4) g/d than non-Gln group as (-5.3 ± 1.3) g/d(P ＜0.05).Conclusion Children with severe sepsis manifeste significantly increased metabolic rate and energy consumption,the protein decomposition utilization is greater than the synthetic with negative nitrogen balance.Children with more severe sepsis have lower metabolic indexes,nutrition indexes,and immunoglobulin.It is necessary for children with severe sepsis to use glutamine while having parenteral nutrition.
