[The concentration of plasma amino acids during continuous infusion of Traumafusin into patients].

2 years ago we presented an amino acid solution with a special pattern for parenteral nutrition in the postoperative, posttraumatic period, which was adapted to this situation. The question arose, if this solution would be tolerated in patients with undisturbed metabolism. 10 male volunteers were infused with the amino acid solution (1 g amino acids/kg body weight/day) over a period of 3 days, and the concentration of the amino acids in plasma was measured at different times. It could be shown, that--without some exceptions--the homeostasis of the amino acids was not altered, that means that the proven amino acid solution can be used also in patients, who do not suffer from a post-aggression syndrome.
