Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine if a new and simple method involving complete photo-protection of multivitamins only (since sampling through infusion) will result in a significant reduction of peroxide contamination of parenteral nutrition compared to standard method of parenteral nutrition preparation and infusion in extremely preterm infants.
The picc line is a central venous catheter inserted peripherally into a deep vein in the arm (cephalic, basilic or axillary) whose distal end is located at the junction of the superior vena cava / atrium. It is installed for a minimum of 7 days (1), and can be stored for up to 6 months or more if it is functional. For treatments with an indication of more than 3 months, it is common practice to place an implantable catheter chamber. The main indications for picc line placement are: long-term antibiotic therapy, parenteral nutrition, chemotherapy or long-term venous approach when difficulties are encountered in applying a peripheral venous route to the patient. Quickly adopted by medical teams, picc lines are not without risk, however, and three complications are mainly reported: catheter obstruction, deep vein thrombosis and infections. In order to avoid any risk of unnecessary complications, it therefore seems appropriate to target the most appropriate device upstream of the procedure according to the provisional indication. An inventory of pharmaceutical interventions carried out during picc line requests would make it possible to lay the foundations for considering actions to be implemented with the various services requesting picc line and proposals for improvement for the follow-up of patients with picc line to reduce the risk of complications.
The present protocol describes a randomized, patient-blinded study in which either SmofKabiven emulsion for infusion or a hospital compounded "All in one" control Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) regimen will be given to adult surgical patients for 5 consecutive days. As serum prealbumin is a well-established surrogate efficacy parameter reflecting the patient´s nutritional status, the change of the serum prealbumin level at the day of the final study visit compared to baseline will represent the primary efficacy parameter in the present study.
Preterm infants (gestational age between 189 and 258 days) with a birth weight (BW) greater than 1250 grams will be randomized to personalized-parenteral nutrition (P-PN) or standardized-parenteral nutrition (S-PN). The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of S-PN versus P-PN on growth of preterm infants with BW>1250 grams.
Assess if administration of early nutrition support with Perioperative Peripheral Nutrition (PeriOliclimonel) N4-E) in patients undergoing colon cancer resection in an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol improve the results of morbi-mortality and hospitalization versus standard intravenous fluid therapy.
The primary study objective is to assess the rates of blood stream infection (BSI) from the use of Three-Chamber Bags (e.g., SmofKabiven®, Kabiven®, others) compared to Hospital Compounded Bags (HCBs) in patients requiring parenteral nutrition in Spanish hospitals.
The overarching aim of this project is to determine the optimum enteral and parenteral nutrition strategy for newborns with Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) during and after therapeutic hypothermia. To do this the investigators will perform two primary comparisons: 1. ENTERAL: to determine whether any enteral (milk) feeding, when compared to withholding enteral feeding (no milk), during therapeutic hypothermia, is associated with a difference in the incidence of necrotising enterocolitis. 2. PARENTERAL: to determine whether provision of intravenous dextrose, when compared to provision of parenteral nutrition, during therapeutic hypothermia, is associated with a difference in the incidence of blood stream infection. The investigators will use de-identified data held in an established research database called the National Neonatal Research Database (NNRD) and we will use the potential outcomes framework with application of propensity scoring to define matched subgroups for comparison.
The objective is to determine the incidence of thrombosis on central venous catheters in patients hospitalized in a surgical critical care unit, in the immediate postoperative period of urological or digestive carcinological surgery, and receiving parenteral nutrition.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerance of ClinOleic or Lipoplus or SMOFlipid lipid emulsions. After 6 weeks of each lipid emulsion, Omegaven (fish oil) was added for a further 4 weeks. The safety and tolerance was evaluated after each lipid emulsion cycle by biochemistry, hematology and coagulation variables, vital signs and adverse events. We also analysed fatty acid profiles in plasma or erythrocyte phospholipids, antioxidant enzyme activities, lipid peroxidation products, plasma lipids and pro-inflammatory cytokine production after in vitro stimulation of whole blood by lipopolysacharide in HPN patients. The non-interventional group of healthy controls was included for comparison.
Although it is demonstrated that nutritional support can improve clinical outcomes, the literature shows that approximately 50% of cancer patients are not able to meet their estimated energy requirements. Recent clinical studies suggest that a supplementary support for parenteral nutrition (PN) could significantly help to improve the nutritional status of malnourished cancer patients. International guidelines recommend the use of PN in malnourished, hypophagic, non-surgical cancer patients if enteral nutrition is not feasible and in patients affected by severe iatrogenic gastrointestinal complications and in whom inadequate food intake is anticipated for more than 7 days. However, there are no studies on the effects of integrative PN in hospitalized, malnourished, hypophagic, non-surgical cancer patients. Recent studies have reported on the validity of bioelectrical impedance vector analysis in monitoring the body composition of patients receiving nutritional support. Particularly, phase angle proved to be a superior prognostic marker than other nutritional screening tools.
