  • Title: [Standardized postoperative parenteral nutrition with a complete solution containing glucose].
    Author: Behrendt W, Classen C.
    Journal: Infusionsther Klin Ernahr; 1981 Jun; 8(3):104-7. PubMed ID: 6790433.
    Abstract:
    15 cholecystectomized patients were treated with a newly developed solution containing 2% amino acids, 12.5% dextrose, and electrolytes during a period of 3 postoperative days. The solution with an osmolarity of 1.060 mosmol/l was administered by peripheral veins. Blood glucose concentration did not exceed 8.8 +/- 1.3 (S.D.). Application of insulin or additional potassium was not necessary. Glucose excretion ranged from 3.3 to 7.6 percent of the infused dose. Urinary nitrogen excretion was approximately 8.4 +/- 2.2 (S.D.) g/day. From this the nitrogen balance was calculated as -2.6 g/day. There were no systemic side effects of the solution; in some cases an irritation of peripheral veins was observed.
