Effects of enteral and parenteral nutrition on gut mucosal permeability in the critically ill.

Abstract: The use of total parenteral nutrition (TPN), in the critically ill, may be associated with the translocation of bacteria and their products from the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) to the systemic circulation. We report a study comparing the effects of TPN and enteral nutrition (EN) on GIT function. Twenty-four critically ill patients were randomly allocated to receive TPN or EN. GIT absorption was measured by urinary recovery of D-xylose and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3O MG) after enteral administration.… Show more

“…Recognition of the potential consequences of gastrointestinal barrier failure has prompted investigations into ways to support gastrointestinal function and integrity in critically ill patients, including the effects of route of nutrition (enteral versus parenteral), intestinal fuels (eg, glutamine, butyrate), and growth factors. [6][7][8][9] Normal digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs via carrier-mediated mechanisms or by passive diffusion. Diffusion can occur across (transcellular) or between cells (paracellular).…”

“…Enteral nutrition is the best model of feeding in the critically ill patients as it favors intestinal trophism, stimulates the immune system, reduces bacterial translocation and the incidence of sepsis and multisystem failure and has few side effects (Hadfield et al, 1995;De Lucas et al, 2000;Galbán et al, 2000;Artinian et al, 2006). However, oral or nasogastric feeding is sometimes poorly tolerated, particularly in the patients on mechanical ventilation, owing to the reduced gastric motility secondary to the administration of drugs or to the disease itself, with the onset of distension, the accumulation of gastric residues and an increased risk of pulmonary aspiration (Montejo, 1999;Mentec et al, 2001;(Montejo et al, 2002).…”
