      <Pgraph>Die Indikationen f&#252;r eine k&#252;nstliche Ern&#228;hrung sind auch in der Chirurgie die Prophylaxe und Behandlung von Katabolie und Mangelern&#228;hrung. Generell sollte deshalb postoperativ die Nahrungszufuhr nicht unterbrochen werden. Ein oraler (z.B. nach Anastomosen an Kolon und Rektum, Nierentransplantation) bzw. enteraler Kostaufbau (z.B. nach Anastomosen am oberen Gastrointestinaltrakt, Lebertransplantation) wird binnen 24 h nach OP empfohlen. Zur Vermeidung einer erh&#246;hten Letalit&#228;t, besteht auch bei Patienten ohne Zeichen der Mangelern&#228;hrung, die perioperativ voraussichtlich mehr als 7 Tage keine orale Nahrungszufuhr oder mehr als 14 Tage oral eine nicht bedarfsdeckende Kost (weniger als 60&#8211;80&#37;) erhalten, die Indikation zu einer unverz&#252;glichen postoperativen k&#252;nstlichen Ern&#228;hrung. Nur in F&#228;llen einer absoluten Kontraindikation f&#252;r eine enterale Ern&#228;hrung wie bei einer chronischen Darmobstruktion mit relevanter Passagest&#246;rung, z.B. einer Peritonealkarzinose, besteht die Indikation zur totalen parenteralen Ern&#228;hrung (TPE). Wenn der Energie- und N&#228;hrstoffbedarf durch orale und enterale Zufuhr allein nicht gedeckt werden kann, ist eine kombinierte enterale und parenterale Ern&#228;hrung indiziert. Die Verschiebung einer Operation zur Durchf&#252;hrung einer gezielten Ern&#228;hrungstherapie (enteral und parenteral) ist nur bei schwerer Mangelern&#228;hrung angezeigt. Bei mangelern&#228;hrten Patienten sollte die pr&#228;operative Ern&#228;hrungstherapie m&#246;glichst pr&#228;station&#228;r durchgef&#252;hrt werden, um das Risiko nosokomialer Infektionen zu senken.

      <Pgraph>In surgery, indications for artificial nutrition comprise prevention and treatment of catabolism and malnutrition. Thus in general, food intake should not be interrupted postoperatively and the re-establishing of oral (e.g. after anastomosis of the colon and rectum, kidney transplantation) or enteral food intake (e.g. after an anastomosis in the upper gastrointestinal tract, liver transplantation) is recommended within 24 h post surgery. To avoid increased mortality an indication for an immediate postoperatively artificial nutrition (enteral or parenteral nutrition (PN)) also exists in patients with no signs of malnutrition, but who will not receive oral food intake for more than 7 days perioperatively or whose oral food intake does not meet their needs (e.g. less than 60&#8211;80&#37;) for more than 14 days. In cases of absolute contraindication for enteral nutrition, there is an indication for total PN (TPN) such as in chronic intestinal obstruction with a relevant passage obstruction e.g. a peritoneal carcinoma. If energy and nutrient requirements cannot be met by oral and enteral intake alone, a combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition is indicated. Delaying surgery for a systematic nutrition therapy (enteral and parenteral) is only indicated if severe malnutrition is present. Preoperative nutrition therapy should preferably be conducted prior to hospital admission to lower the risk of nosocomial infections. The recommendations of early postoperative re-establishing oral feeding, generally apply also to paediatric patients. Standardised operative procedures should be established in order to guarantee an effective nutrition therapy.</Pgraph>

      <Pgraph>In surgery, the importance of nutritional status for post-operative morbidity and mortality in various clinical conditions is demonstrated by both retrospective <TextLink reference="1"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="2"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="3"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="4"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="5"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="6"></TextLink> and prospective <TextLink reference="7"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="8"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="9"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="10"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="11"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="12"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="13"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="14"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="15"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="16"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="17"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="18"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="19"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="20"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="21"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="22"></TextLink> studies.</Pgraph>
      <Pgraph>The presence of malnutrition is often an expression of the underlying disease i.e. a tumour or chronic organ insufficiency <TextLink reference="22"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="23"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="24"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="25"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="26"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="27"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="28"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="29"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="30"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="31"></TextLink> (cf. appropriate chapter). Malnutrition is particularly relevant for outcome after organ transplantation <TextLink reference="32"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="33"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="34"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="35"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="36"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="37"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="38"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="39"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="40"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="41"></TextLink>. Nutritional status also has a significant influence on morbidity of older patients <TextLink reference="42"></TextLink>.</Pgraph>
      <Pgraph>Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a prerequisite for the desirable reduction of length of hospital stay. This so-called &#8220;fast track&#8221; system has become a standard in post-operative management, especially after colon operations. The principles of the multimodal process are perioperative limited volume supply, adequate pain therapy (especially by means of epidural anaesthesia), and minimising the administration of opioids, antiemetics and peristaltics. The objective is the re-establishing of oral food intake and full mobilisation of the patient at the earliest possible time. </Pgraph>
      <Pgraph>In surgery, the indications for artificial nutrition are prevention and treatment of catabolism and malnutrition. This mainly affects the perioperative maintenance of nutritional state to prevent malnutrition. Criteria for the success of the &#8220;therapeutic&#8221; indication for PN are the so-called &#8220;outcome&#8221; parameters of morbidity, length of hospital stay and mortality, while taking into consideration economic implications. The improvement of nutritional status and quality of life are most important in the post-operative period <TextLink reference="43"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="44"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="45"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="46"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="47"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="48"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="49"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="50"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="51"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="52"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="53"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="54"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="55"></TextLink>.</Pgraph>

      <Pgraph>The effect of PN in comparison to oral&#47;enteral standard nutrition with regards to the prognosis of surgical patients has been discussed controversially <TextLink reference="72"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="78"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="79"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="80"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="81"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="82"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="83"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="84"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="85"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="86"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="87"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="88"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="89"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="90"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="91"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="92"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="93"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="94"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="95"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="96"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="97"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="98"></TextLink>, (Table 1 <ImgLink imgNo="1" imgType="table"/>). Twenty-one randomised studies of patients with abdominal surgery, including patients after liver transplantation and trauma patients, are known to the expert group. In these studies (total) PN was compared with enteral nutrition, or with crystalloid solutions or with a normal hospital diet. </Pgraph>
      <Pgraph>Enteral and parenteral nutrition was compared in 15 studies, of which 6 showed studies significant benefits of enteral nutrition, mainly, a lower incidence of infectious complications, shorter length of stay, and lower costs (Ib). No significant difference, was found in 8 of the 15 studies, which led most authors to favour enteral nutrition because of its lower costs <TextLink reference="72"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="92"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="93"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="95"></TextLink> (Ib).</Pgraph>
      <Pgraph>Several authors have pointed out the possible advantages of PN when there is a limited tolerance of enteral nutrition due to intestinal dysfunction especially in the early post-operative phase, which is associated with a lower energy intake <TextLink reference="78"></TextLink>. Strict attention, therefore, must be paid to the tolerance of enteral intake especially in patients with severe polytrauma <TextLink reference="88"></TextLink> (Ib). An adequate energy intake is better provided by PN when there is a limited gastrointestinal tolerance <TextLink reference="99"></TextLink> (IIa). </Pgraph>
      <Pgraph>A meta-analysis by Braunschweig et al. <TextLink reference="100"></TextLink> comparing enteral with parenteral nutrition incorporated the results of 27 studies with 1828 patients, (both surgical and non-surgical). It showed a significantly lower risk of infection with oral&#47;enteral nutrition. In malnourished patients, however, PN administration resulted in a significantly lower mortality with a tendency towards lower rates of infection. Heyland et al. <TextLink reference="101"></TextLink> incorporated 27 studies in a meta-analysis of PN in surgical patients. Clinical trials comparing enteral versus parenteral nutrition were excluded. An influence of PN on the mortality of surgical patients was not shown. A lower complication rate, especially in those with malnutrition, was observed in the parenterally nourished patients. </Pgraph>
      <Pgraph>These results lead to the recommendation not to enforce a dietary intake covering energy requirements during the first 7&#8211;10 post-operative days in well-nourished patients.</Pgraph>

In the meta-analysis of these studies no advantage was found of combined nutrition regarding mortality, infection, LOS and length of artificial ventilation. Heyland et al. <TextLink reference="102"></TextLink>, therefore, recommend not to begin with combined enteral and parental nutrition in critically ill patients without signs of malnutrition. They further recommend to decide on parental substrate intake on an individual basis in case of poor tolerance to enteral nutrition. </Pgraph>
      <Pgraph>In major elective surgeries, placement of a central venous catheter is usually a routine . It is the opinion of this expert group that in the presence of a suitable indication this access should be used for PN, especially in malnourished patients, and if necessary also as a part of hypocaloric regime. A randomised controlled study has shown that a hypocaloric PN of 25 kcal&#47;kg and 1.5 g&#47;kg protein presents no increased risk of hyperglycaemia and infectious complications, but results in a significant improvement in nitrogen balance <TextLink reference="104"></TextLink> (Ib). Insertion of a central venous catheter exclusively for artificial nutrition should be carefully considered. An increase in energy intake can be achieved in the short-term by lipid administration using peripheral venous access. An increase in enteral intake is the main objective in combined enteral&#47;parenteral nutrition.</Pgraph>
      <Pgraph>A possible approach to combined PN and to tapering PN when reintroducing enteral feeding is shown in plan IV.</Pgraph>

      <Pgraph>Positive effects of PN for 7&#8211;10 days were observed post-operatively with regards to the rate of complications <TextLink reference="83"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="97"></TextLink> and the drop in mortality <TextLink reference="83"></TextLink> (Ib). The early post-operative release of cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-8 is, however, significantly higher when PN is administered <TextLink reference="105"></TextLink> (Ib). Furthermore, parenteral infusion involves the risk of expanding the extracellular space, thus lowering the albumin concentration and thereby, increasing the risk of pulmonary complications <TextLink reference="106"></TextLink> (Ib). Positive effects on postoperative stress adaption were reported after parenteral infusion of 1.5&#8211;2 g&#47;kg glucose and 1 g&#47;kg amino acids preoperatively (16&#8211;20 h) <TextLink reference="107"></TextLink>.</Pgraph>
      <Pgraph>There is insufficient data available on the comparison of enteral and parenteral nutrition preoperatively. Therefore oral or enteral feeding should be preferred whenever possible. If parenteral nutrition is necessary to meet energy needs e.g. in stenosis of the upper gastrointestinal tract, it should be combined with oral nutrition (e.g. oral nutritional supplements) whenever possible. The benefits of preoperative PN over 7&#8211;10 days are only evident in patients with severe malnutrition (weight loss &#62;15&#37;) prior to major gastrointestinal surgery <TextLink reference="83"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="97"></TextLink>. When PN is continued for 9 days post-operatively the rate of complications is 30&#37; lower and there is a reduction in mortality (Ib). Questions regarding the type of preoperative nutritional intake have not been clearly resolved in malnourished patients. Preoperative parenteral and enteral nutrition has been compared in one prospective study. Clear advantage of preoperative PN could not be shown <TextLink reference="85"></TextLink>. The results of the meta-analysis by Braunschweig <TextLink reference="100"></TextLink>, however, do favour PN. A significantly lower mortality with a tendency towards lower rates of infection was found in malnourished patients receiving PN.</Pgraph>

In eight of these studies, the patients were to undergo elective surgery and in one after emergency visceral surgery.

To what extent does parenteral glutamine intake, with oral&#47;enteral nutrition, may have a positive effect, cannot be answered at present due to lack of available data.

      <Pgraph>In neonates and premature infants, early re-establishing of food (even with the smallest amounts of EN) result in a lower risk of sepsis due to an increase in immune competence <TextLink reference="124"></TextLink>. Numerous studies have shown that post-operative energy expenditure increases in newborns after major surgery by 20&#37;, and is normal again within the first 12 to 24 hours <TextLink reference="125"></TextLink>. Post-operatively, infants tend to retain water during the first 24 hours due to increased ADH levels and, therefore, fluid intake should be restricted whereas sodium should be given in higher doses <TextLink reference="126"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="127"></TextLink>.</Pgraph>
