[Postoperative total parenteral feeding with a carbohydrate mixture (autor's transl)].

After gastric operations, patients were fed completely by the parenteral route. Aminoacids, caloric nutrients and electrolytes were infused simultaneously and continuously 24 hours daily until the fourth postoperative day. The daily supply of aminoacids amounted to 80 g. Glucose, fructose and xylite in equal proportions were used to supply calories. The total daily amount was 605 g. The important electrolytes were contained in the infusion solutions in amounts corresponding to basic requirement. The results of the investigation confirmed that patients can be successfully nourished parenterally after extensive operations with the combined daily additives we have selected.
