Strategies to improve tolerance to peri-operative enteral feeding
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Allied Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
A major surgical procedure results in injury resulting in systemic response resulting in a negative nitrogen balance. The conventional management of a patient in the peri-operative period involves preand post-operative fasting, which potentiates the caloric deficit. Early feeding has been shown to result in a positive clinical outcome. However, the physiologic response to surgery impedes successful initiation of early enteral feeds. This article discusses the various strategies to improve tolerance to early enteral feeds in the immediate postoperative period.
