Parental Nutrition
9 PARENTERAL NUTRITION
Margaret M. McQuiggan M.S., R.D., CNSD, Frederick A. Moore M.D.
1. What is parenteral nutrition?
Show answer
Parenteral nutrition is the provision of protein as amino acids (4 kcal/g), dextrose (3.4 kcal/g), and fat (lipid 20% solution delivers 2 kcal/mL), vitamins, minerals, trace elements, fluid, and sometimes insulin through an intravenous (IV) infusion. Acid-base status may be influenced by the amount of chloride and acetate used in providing sodium and potassium. The concentrations of calcium and phosphorus are limited to avoid precipitation of a calcium phosphate salt.

20. Does preoperative TPN enhance surgical outcome?
Show answer
It is well documented that malnourished patients are at an increased risk for septic complications, problems with wound healing, longer hospital stays, and increased mortality. However, nutritional status may be a reflection of the severity of disease. Results of studies evaluating preoperative TPN and outcome are variable. Preoperative TPN may decrease the rate of postoperative complications, but not mortality, in moderately malnourished patients with GI cancers. When malnourished GI cancer patients were fed high-kilocalorie TPN only after surgery, complication rates increased. Perioperative enteral nutrition may lower postoperative complications in patients with a variety of cancers. Provision of immune-enhancing diets, when adequately tolerated, may decrease complications and reduce length of hospital stays after surgical resection of upper GI cancer. In elderly, underweight women with hip fractures, supplemental enteral feedings increase functional status, reduce complications, and decrease length of stay. After major abdominal surgery, early enteral nutrition reduces complications, especially wound infection. Further research is needed in homogenous patient populations using current level of feeding practice and glycemic control in order to determine the impact on outcome of perioperative nutritional support.
Surgical Infectious Disease. Antibiotics
ANTIBIOTICS
11. Are antibiotics the classic wonder drugs?
Show answer
Only because you wonder if they are going to work, if they are going to cause more harm than good, and if the next generation will be unaffordable or toxic.
Skepticism is healthy with regard to any procedure or agent in heath care but especially with regard to antibiotics, which are embraced almost universally as agents that both prevent and cure infections. The primacy of the host defense in this vital process and the potential interference by the very drugs given credit for infection control are overlooked. We must look critically at the limited role that antibiotics should play in health care and restrain their overuse, which generates even more harm than unnecessary expense.

DUODENAL ULCER DISEASE
1. What is the risk of duodenal ulcer disease?
Show answer
The lifetime risk for duodenal ulcer is about 1 in 14. It usually occurs between ages 20 and 60 years, with peak incidence in the fourth decade of life. It is more common in males. Hemorrhage is the most common cause of hospital admission. The annual number of deaths in the United States is about 10,000 deaths caused by duodenal ulcers.

Ethics In The Surgical Intensive Care Unit
102 ETHICS IN THE SURGICAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
Ricardo J. Gonzalez M.D.
1. What are the four principles of medical ethics?
1. Beneficence describes the active role of doing good by intervention.
2. Nonmaleficence is equivalent to saying, “First do no harm.”
3. Autonomy accounts for informed consent, competence, and the patient’s right to refuse treatment and to know what’s going on.
4. Justice means that all patients should receive fair and equal care but that one patient’s care should not squander limited resources for others.

Denis D. Bensard M.D.
1. What is pyloric stenosis?
Show answer
Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) is idiopathic thickening and elongation of the pylorus that produces gastric outlet obstruction. HPS is the most common surgical cause of nonbilious vomiting in infants. Offspring of an affected parent have an increased incidence of HPS (10%); the highest rate (20%) occurs in boys born to affected mothers.

* Initial surgical managementApproximately 25% of patients initially treated medically need an operation eventually.
* Operative mortality is much lower today (20%) than in the past.
* Medical management has the same in-hospital mortality (20%).
* Initial medical managementThis avoids unnecessary operation and its attendant cost and complication rate.

Dissecting Aortic Aneurysm
81 DISSECTING AORTIC ANEURYSM
Laurence H. Brinckerhoff M.D., David N. Campbell M.D.
1. Why is the term dissecting aortic aneurysm really incorrect?
Show answer
The correct term should be dissecting aortic hematoma because the lesion is not an aneurysm. Blood dissects between the middle and outer layers of the media and adventitia of the aorta (specifically, there does not need to be an intimal tear, although there usually is).

EMPYEMA
10. What is an empyema, and what causes it?
Show answer
An empyema is a purulent (infected) effusion. Fluid or blood in the pleural space can be directly innoculated (with bugs) during surgery or trauma (33%) or by contamination from contiguous sites (50%) such as bronchopulmonary infection (most common). Most empyemas are parapneumonic, and the most commonly involved organisms are Staphylococcus aureus, enteric gram-negative bacilli, and anaerobes. Many times, infections are polymicrobial. Often there is no growth of an empyema culture because of effective antibiotic therapy or inadequate culture techniques, particularly with anaerobes.

PLEURAL EFFUSION
6. What is a pleural effusion?
Show answer
Pleural fluid is generated in normal adults at a rate of 5-10 L per 24 hours in the combined hemithoraces, but normal adults have only 20 mL of pleural fluid present at any time. Pleural effusions develop when there is either increased production or decreased resorption. Pathologic conditions leading to effusions include increased capillary permeability (inflammation, tumor), increased hydrostatic pressure (e.g., in congestive heart failure [CHF]), decreased lymphatic drainage (tumor, radiation fibrosis), decreased oncotic pressure (hypoalbuminemia), or combinations of these.

Show answer
They can be almost anything or nothing (it has been stated that if you know tuberculosis, you know all of medicine), but the most common symptoms and signs are chronic fever; weight loss; night sweats; and cough, sometimes with hemoptysis. Chest radiograph typically shows upper lobe infiltrates, with or without cavitation, and can be misdiagnosed as a neoplastic process. HIV-positive or immunocompromised patients usually have mediastinal adenopathy, pleural effusions, and a miliary pattern.
