Nutrition and Polytrauma: The Role of Peptide-Based High Calorie, High Protein in Early And Effective Wound Healing
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Inadequate initial trauma management might result in a high fatality rate. Moreover,unexpected injury results in changes to metabolism, inflammation, andhaemodynamics. Enteral nutrition (EN) is strongly advised as a feeding access methodrather than parenteral nutrition (PN) according to the American Society for Parenteraland Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) standards. Enteral tube feeding is now the most widelyused technique of providing nutritional support for critically ill individuals due tosignificant advancements in enteral formulations over the past several years. Formulasbased on peptides comprise proteins that have undergone hydrolysis to yield peptidesof different lengths. Here, we describe a patient's experience receiving postoperativeintensive care unit (ICU) care while receiving dietary therapy. Enteral nutrition (EN)was not started for more than two weeks, despite the patient's lack of malnutrition atICU admission. The present case study underscores the significance of nutritioninterventions for critically ill trauma patients who are at increased risk ofmalnourishment. It demonstrates the efficaciousness of peptide-based high-protein,high-calorie, and appropriate nutrition therapy in meeting the patients' nutritionalrequirements and promoting prompt wound healing.
