Nutritional support in patients with gastrointestinal fistula

Abstract: Gastrointestinal fistulas (GIFs) arise as a complication of the surgical treatment of a number of malignant and non-malignant diseases. Fluid loss and electrolyte and nutritional imbalance are related to increased morbidity and mortality in these patients. A multidisciplinary approach under the leadership of the surgeon is essential for successful therapy. Because complication rates are higher in malnourished patients with fistulas, enteral or total parenteral nutritional (TPN) support should be initiated afte… Show more

“…Observational studies performed between 1990 and 2016 report goal energy doses at 25–30 kcal/kg/d and goal protein doses at 1.5 g/kg/d but do not report actual intake levels relative to important clinical outcomes (Supplemental Table S3) 16 , 17 , 25 , 27 , 28 . Three recent review articles recommend a protein dose of 1.5 g/kg/d and kcal to meet basal energy expenditure in patients with low‐output ECF and increasing protein dose to 1.5–2.5 g/kg/d and calorie dose to 1.5–2 times basal energy expenditure in patients with high‐output ECF 29 . ‐ 31 None of the available review articles comment on application to obese patients with ECF, although this represents a significant percentage of the patient population.…”

“…Various research studies support the role of dietitians in improving patient outcomes. 7,[9][10][11]16,17 In particular, dietary interventions by nutritional supplementation, individualised dietary counselling or a combination of both have been shown to increase patients' energy and protein intakes, influence overall nutritional status and also lead to an improvement in clinical outcomes. 11 Dietary counselling alone has been found to have an impact on outcomes.…”

“…Conservative treatment was used to build up nutritional status, stabilize the patient before surgery, improve the surgical outcome, and decrease the risk of postoperative complications 11. A subjective global assessment was available for nine cases; seven were malnourished, indicating that this assessment was performed only for such cases.…”

“…It includes total parenteral nutrition (TPN), enteral feeding, or oral feeding, and plays a major role in management of enterocutaneous fistula 810. It begins with calculating calories and protein requirements, assessing tolerance of the feeding regimen, modifying feeding methods, adjusting nutritional requirements according to changes in clinical status, and finally, observing for feeding complications 11. Classification of the fistula affects the route of feeding and caloric and protein requirements;12 ie, patients with high output fistula should receive more calories and protein than those with low output fistula who mostly require TPN.…”
