Presentation Transcript

  1. Metabolic Response to Injury

  2. Objectives • Factors mediating the metabolic response • Consequences of the metabolic response • The differences between metabolic responses to starvation and trauma • The effect of trauma on metabolic rate and substrate utilization • Modifying the metabolic response

  3. Mediating the Response • The Acute Inflammatory Response • Cellular activation • Inflammatory mediators (TNF, IL1, etc) • Paracrine Vs endocrine effects

  4. Mediating the Response • The Endothelium • Selectins, Integrins, and ICAMs • Nitric Oxide • Tissue Factor

  5. Mediating the Response • Afferent Nerve Stimulation • Sympathetic Nervous System • Adrenal Gland Medulla

  6. Mediating the Response • The Endocrine System • Pituitary Gland (GH, ACTH, ADP) • Adrenal Gland (Cortisol, Aldosterone) • Pancreatic (Glucagon,  Insulin) • Others (Renin, Angiotensin,  Sex hormones,  T4)

  7. Consequences of the Response • Limiting injury • Initiation of repair processes • Mobilization of substrates • Prevention of infection • Distant organ damage

  16. Metabolic Response to Trauma:Flow Phase •  Catecholamines •  Glucocorticoids •  Glucagon • Release of cytokines, lipid mediators • Acute phase protein production Cuthbertson DP, et al.

  21. Comparing Starvation and Trauma The body adapts to starvation, but not in the presence of critical injury or disease. Popp MB, et al. In: Fischer JF, ed. Surgical Nutrition. 1983.

  22. Modifying the Response • Medication (before or after injury) • Nutritional status • Severity of injury • Temperature • Anesthetic technique

  23. Summary • Injury (Trauma or Surgery) leads to a metabolic response • Metabolic response to injury is an adaptive response • Metabolic response could overwhelm the body and lead to increased morbidity and mortality • We can modify the metabolic response before and sometimes after injury

  24. Metabolic Response to Injury Questions

  25. Determining Calorie Requirements • Indirect calorimetry • Harris-Benedict x stress factor x activity factor • 25-30 kcal/kg body weight/day

  26. Metabolic Response to Starvation and Trauma: Nutritional Requirements Example: Energy requirements for patient with cancer in bed = BEE x 1.10 x 1.2 ADA: Manual Of Clinical Dietetics. 5th ed. Chicago: American Dietetic Association; 1996 Long CL, et al. JPEN 1979;3:452-456

  27. Metabolic Response to Overfeeding • Hyperglycemia • Hypertriglyceridemia • Hypercapnia • Fatty liver • Hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia Barton RG. Nutr Clin Pract 1994;9:127-139

  28. Macronutrients during Stress Carbohydrate • At least 100 g/day needed to prevent ketosis • Carbohydrate intake during stress should be between 30%-40% of total calories • Glucose intake should not exceed5 mg/kg/min Barton RG. Nutr Clin Pract 1994;9:127-139 ASPEN Board of Directors. JPEN 2002; 26 Suppl 1:22SA

  29. Macronutrientes during Stress Fat • Provide 20%-35% of total calories • Maximum recommendation for intravenous lipid infusion: 1.0 -1.5 g/kg/day • Monitor triglyceride level to ensure adequate lipid clearance Barton RG. Nutr Clin Pract 1994;9:127-139 ASPEN Board of Directors. JPEN 2002;26 Suppl 1:22SA

  30. Macronutrients during Stress Protein • Requirements range from 1.2-2.0 g/kg/day during stress • Comprise 20%-30% of total calories during stress Barton RG. Nutr Clin Pract 1994;9:127-139 ASPEN Board of Directors. JPEN 2002;26 Suppl 1:22SA

  31. Determining Protein Requirements for Hospitalized Patients No Stress Moderate Stress Severe Stress Stress Level Calorie:Nitrogen Ratio Percent Potein / Total Calories Protein / kg Body Weight > 150:1 150-100:1 < 100:1 < 15% protein 15-20% protein > 20% protein 0.8 g/kg/day 1.0-1.2 g/kg/day 1.5-2.0 g/kg/day

  32. Role of Glutamine in Metabolic Stress • Considered “conditionally essential” for critical patients • Depleted after trauma • Provides fuel for the cells of the immune system and GI tract • Helps maintain or restore intestinal mucosal integrity Smith RJ, et al. JPEN 1990;14(4 Suppl):94S-99S; Pastores SM, et al. Nutrition 1994;10:385-391Calder PC. Clin Nutr 1994;13:2-8; Furst P. Eur J Clin Nutr 1994;48:607-616 Standen J, Bihari D. Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care 2000;3:149-157

  33. Role of Arginine in Metabolic Stress • Provides substrates to immune system • Increases nitrogen retention after metabolic stress • Improves wound healing in animal models • Stimulates secretion of growth hormone and is a precursor for polyamines and nitric oxide • Not appropriate for septic or inflammatory patients. “Giving arginine to a septic patient is like putting gasoline on an already burning fire.” - B. Mizock, Medical Intensive Care Unit, Cook County Hospital, Chicago, IL Barbul A. JPEN 1986;10:227-238; Barbul A, et al. J Surg Res 1980;29:228-235
