Abstract
This study aimed to describe the occurrence of feeding intolerance (FI) in adult patients given enteral nutrition (EN) during the first week after liver transplant and investigate the risk factors of FI. A total of 320 adult patients were enrolled and the incidence of FI was 50.3%. There are 5 independent risk factors for FI in these patients: average EN infusion rate, length of time to initiate EN, use of mechanical ventilation, use of sedatives or analgesics, and intraoperative fluid balance. Appropriate EN regimens and clinical treatments should be taken into consideration to prevent FI for these patients.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
