Abstract

Background/Aim

Perioperative administration of immunoenriched diets attenuates the perioperative inflammatory response and reduces postoperative infection complications. However, many questions still remain unresolved in this area, such as the length of diet administration, diet composition, and the mechanisms involved. We performed an open, randomized, triple-arm study comparing the effect of two perioperative feeding regimens with a postoperative one.

Methods

46 candidates for major elective surgery for malignancy in the upper gastrointestinal tract were randomized to drink preoperatively either 1 L of an immunoenriched formula (Impact) for 5 days (IEF group) or 1 L of Impact plus (Impact enriched with glycine) for 2 days (IEF plus group). The same product as the patient received preoperatively was given to both groups for 7 days postoperatively. In the control group (CON group), patients only received Impact for 7 days postoperatively; there was no preoperative treatment. The main outcome measures were postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) serum levels.

Results

In the two preoperatively supplemented groups (treatment groups), perioperative endotoxin levels, CRP (postoperative day 7), and TNF-α (postoperative days 1 and 3) levels were significantly lower compared to the CON group (p < .01). Furthermore, the length of postoperative IMU/ICU stay (Impact 1.9 ± 1.3 days; Impact plus 2.2 ± 1.1 days; control group 5.9 ± 0.8 days) and length of hospital stay (Impact 19.7 ± 2.3 days; Impact plus 20.1 ± 1.3 days; control group 29.1 ± 3.6 days) were both reduced in the treatment groups compared to the control group. Infectious complications (Impact 2/14 (14%); Impact plus 5/17 (29%); control group 10/15 (67%)) also showed a trend toward reduction in the treatment groups.

Conclusions

Perioperative administration of an immunoenriched diet significantly reduces systemic perioperative inflammation and postoperative complications in patients undergoing major abdominal cancer surgery, when compared with postoperative diet administration alone. A shortened preoperative feeding regimen of 2 days with Impact enriched with glycine (Impact plus) was as effective as Impact administered for 5 days preoperatively.

Echinokokkose medikamentös behandeln oder operieren?

06.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Therapie von Echinokokkosen sollte immer in spezialisierten Zentren erfolgen. Eine symptomlose Echinokokkose kann – egal ob von Hunde- oder Fuchsbandwurm ausgelöst – konservativ erfolgen. Wenn eine Op. nötig ist, kann es sinnvoll sein, vorher Zysten zu leeren und zu desinfizieren. 

Recycling im OP – möglich, aber teuer

05.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Auch wenn sich Krankenhäuser nachhaltig und grün geben – sie tragen aktuell erheblich zu den CO2-Emissionen bei und produzieren jede Menge Müll. Ein Pilotprojekt aus Bonn zeigt, dass viele Op.-Abfälle wiederverwertet werden können.

Im OP der Zukunft läuft nichts mehr ohne Kollege Roboter

04.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Der OP in der Zukunft wird mit weniger Personal auskommen – nicht, weil die Technik das medizinische Fachpersonal verdrängt, sondern weil der Personalmangel es nötig macht.

Nur selten Nachblutungen nach Abszesstonsillektomie

03.05.2024 Tonsillektomie Nachrichten

In einer Metaanalyse von 18 Studien war die Rate von Nachblutungen nach einer Abszesstonsillektomie mit weniger als 7% recht niedrig. Nur rund 2% der Behandelten mussten nachoperiert werden. Die Therapie scheint damit recht sicher zu sein.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
