“…The reports of Abbott and Albertsen (1963), Johnston et al (1966), Irving and Rushman (1971), Walker and Johnston (1971) and Johnston et al (1972) have suggested that parenteral nutrition with a high calorie and nitrogen content can reduce, or even reverse, the negative nitrogen balance during the postoperative catabolic phase.…”

“…SINCE the original work of Cuthbertson (1930Cuthbertson ( , 1932, Moore and Ball (1952) and Moore (1959), it has been well established that following trauma, including surgery, there is a 'catabolic phase' during which there is a temporary alteration in the metabolism as a whole, with an increase in the urinary output of nitrogen, resulting in a negative nitrogen balance. The reports of Abbott and Albertsen (1963), Johnston et al (1966), Irving and Rushman (1971), Walker and Johnston (1971) and Johnston et al (1972) have suggested that parenteral nutrition with a high calorie and nitrogen content can reduce, or even reverse, the negative nitrogen balance during the postoperative catabolic phase.…”

Nitrogen balance studies and clinical observations were made on two groups of patients suffering from obstructive carcinoma of the oesophagus. In 10 patients (group A) parenteral nutrition with a high calorie and nitrogen content was given pre- and early postoperatively. Five patients (group B) received intravenous dextrose/saline solution pre- and postoperatively with no nitrogen supply. Patients in group A had a positive nitrogen balance before and after operation and had a satisfactory postoperative progress. The patients in group B had a negative nitrogen balance until the resumption of oral feeding and their postoperative progress was not as satisfactory as that of patients in group A.

“…In the event of post-operative complications such loss may be extreme, although nitrogen balance can be restored and weight gain obtained by intravenous feeding (Lee, 1975). The success of intravenous feeding in such cases has led to recommendations for its use from as early as the third post-operative day in patients who have not resumed oral feeding, in the hope of limiting nitrogen loss and reducing complications (Irving and Rushman, 1971;Lee, 1975). Recent reports by Bistrian et a/.…”

“…Care was taken not to give excessive intravenous fluids and restriction was placed on salt intake (Gett et al, 1971). Parenteral nutrition was instituted at an early stage (Irving and Rushman, 1971). After 48 hours the patient was "decurarized" and the neurological state reassessed.…”
