Seventy-four patients with a pre-operative diagnosis of stomach or oesophageal cancer were entered into a randomized, controlled clinical trial to assess the value of a short course of pre-operative intravenous nutrition. The effectiveness of this treatment was assessed by the clinical course and monitored by means of immune and biochemical profiles. Pre-operative parenteral nutrition given over a 7-10-day period resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of postoperative wound infections. Clinical benefit was confined to those patients who had a low serum albumin on admission to hospital. It is doubtful whether this limited benefit justifies the routine use of intravenous feeding, with its attendant hazards, in the pre-operative preparation of patients with upper gastrointestinal cancer.
74例术前诊断为胃癌或食管癌的患者进入一项随机对照临床试验,以评估术前短期静脉营养的价值。通过临床病程评估该治疗的有效性,并通过免疫和生化指标进行监测。术前7 - 10天给予肠外营养可显著降低术后伤口感染的发生率。临床获益仅限于入院时血清白蛋白水平较低的患者。对于上消化道癌患者的术前准备,这种有限的获益是否足以证明常规使用静脉喂养及其伴随的风险,尚值得怀疑。
