acute pancreatitis enteral nutrition

OBJECTIVE: Hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP) remains one of the major digestive emergencies with increasing health risks. Oral refeeding tolerant (ORT) and enteral tube feeding tolerant (ETFT) are commonly used for nutritional management in HLAP. However, the differences between ORT and ETFT are yet to be characterized. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included consecutive patients admitted to the Ordos Central Hospital between January 2019 and April 2023, with predefined inclusion criteria...

INTRODUCTION: Despite considerable research on the comparison of enteral and parenteral nutrition in patients with acute pancreatitis, there is an ongoing debate about the optimal timing of nutrition initiation, invasiveness of interventions, impact on outcomes, and patient tolerance. Given the gap that still exists in the literature, we investigated the relationship between the mode of nutrition and critical outcomes such as mortality rates, inpatient complications, length of hospitalization, and discharge disposition, using comprehensive national-level data...

DESCRIPTION: Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a disorder caused by the failure of the pancreas to deliver a minimum/threshold level of specific pancreatic digestive enzymes to the intestine, leading to the maldigestion of nutrients and macronutrients, resulting in their variable deficiencies. EPI is frequently underdiagnosed and, as a result, patients are often not treated appropriately. There is an urgent need to increase awareness of and treatment for this condition. The aim of this American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Clinical Practice Update Expert Review was to provide Best Practice Advice on the epidemiology, evaluation, and management of EPI...

Acute pancreatitis and management of its complications is a common consult for the acute care surgeon. With the ongoing development of both operative and endoscopic treatment modalities, management recommendations continue to evolve. We describe the current diagnostic and treatment guidelines for acute pancreatitis through the lens of acute care surgery. Topics, including optimal nutrition, timing of cholecystectomy in gallstone pancreatitis, and the management of peripancreatic fluid collections, are discussed...

Unintentional weight loss is common in persons with chronic and acute disease and is often caused by insufficient intake or malabsorption. A new lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)-rich structured lipid powder has micelle-like activity that facilitates digestion and absorption, independent of lipase and bile acids. The aim of this secondary analysis was to determine if recycled LPC increased fat absorption of coingested food. Fasting plasma fatty acid (FA) concentrations were measured at baseline and 3 mo in children ( n = 84) with cystic fibrosis and pancreatic insufficiency...

This article summarizes the clinical practice guideline (CPG) for the management of acute pancreatitis in the Social Security of Peru (EsSalud), to provide evidence-based clinical recommendations for the management of acute pancreatitis in EsSalud. A guideline development group (GEG) was formed that included medical specialists and methodologists. The GEG formulated 7 clinical questions to be answered by this CPG. Systematic searches of systematic reviews and -when considered relevant- primary studies were carried out in PubMed during 2022...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Pediatric acute pancreatitis is an infrequent but potentially serious condition in children. Most have mild cases with spontaneous resolution, but up to one-third of patients can have moderate or severe disease or progress to recurrent or chronic pancreatitis. RECENT FINDINGS: Significant advances have been made in the field of pediatric pancreatology with a recognition that pediatric acute pancreatitis can vary significantly from adult disease with different risk factors and outcomes...

The review presents literature data on enteral nutrition in the treatment of acute pancreatitis. The authors provide pathophysiological substantiations of the need for nutritional support in patients with various forms of acute pancreatitis and basic principles of enteral nutrition in this disease. The results of numerous studies evaluating the outcomes of enteral nutrition are presented. These data indicate advisability of early enteral nutrition in acute pancreatitis because this approach reduces systemic inflammatory response, risk of bacterial translocation and purulent-septic complications, improves treatment outcomes...

OBJECTIVE: To generate an up-to-date bundle to manage acute biliary pancreatitis using an evidence-based, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted GRADE method. BACKGROUND: A care bundle is a set of core elements of care that are distilled from the most solid evidence-based practice guidelines and recommendations. METHODS: The research questions were addressed in this bundle following the PICO criteria. The working group summarized the effects of interventions with the strength of recommendation and quality of evidence applying the GRADE methodology...

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a digestive emergency and can develop into a systematic illness. The role of the gut in the progression and deterioration of AP has drawn much attention from researchers, and areas of interest include dysbiosis of the intestinal flora, weakened intestinal barrier function, and bacterial and endotoxin translocation. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), as one of the metabolites of gut microbiota, have been proven to be depleted in AP patients. SCFAs help restore gut homeostasis by rebuilding gut flora, stabilizing the intestinal epithelial barrier, and regulating inflammation...

BACKGROUND: Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) has been an important therapy and seems effective in patients with splanchnic venous thrombosis (SVT) secondary to some diseases, but this intervention hasn't been formally evaluated in the setting of acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS: This was a retrospective study enrolled patients between January 2013 and December 2018. AP patients who developed SVT-induced symptoms, including intractable ascites and/or enteral nutrition intolerance, were included...

Acute pancreatitis, a prevalent illness with devastating consequences, poses a grave threat to those affected. There has been a steady increase in the occurrence of acute pancreatitis at about 3% per year from 1961 to 2016. There are 3 main guidelines on acute pancreatitis, including the American College of Gastroenterology, the International Association of Pancreatology/American Pancreatic Association guideline in 2013, and the American Gastroenterological Association guideline in 2018. However, several milestone studies have been published since then...

This review summarized the current controversies in the management of acute pancreatitis (AP). The controversies in management range from issues involving fluid resuscitation, nutrition, the role of antibiotics and antifungals, which analgesic to use, role of anticoagulation and intervention for complications in AP. The interventions vary from percutaneous drainage, endoscopy or surgery. Active research and emerging data are helping to formulate better guidelines. The available evidence favors crystalloids, although the choice and type of fluid resuscitation is an area of dynamic research...

Acute pancreatitis (AP) has varying severity, and moderately severe and severe AP has prolonged hospitalization and requires multiple interventions. These patients are at risk of malnutrition. There is no proven pharmacotherapy for AP, however, apart from fluid resuscitation, analgesics, and organ support, nutrition plays an important role in the management of AP. Oral or enteral nutrition (EN) is the preferred route of nutrition in AP, however, in a subset of patients, parenteral nutrition is required. EN has various physiological benefits and decreases the risk of infection, intervention, and mortality...

INTRODUCTION: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the most important gastrointestinal emergencies with significant morbidity, mortality, and financial burden. It is potentially a life-threatening condition unless attended to earliest. MATERIALS: Acute Pancreatitis can present in various clinical scenarios with or without the involvement of multiple organ systems. This is a case series on Acute pancreatitis presented in various clinical settings and its tailor-made approach...

The nutritional management of acute pancreatitis (AP) patients has widely changed over time. The "pancreatic rest" was the cornerstone of the old paradigm, and nutritional support was not even included in AP management. Traditional management of AP was based on intestinal rest, with or without complete parenteral feeding. Recently, evidence-based data underlined the superiority of early oral or enteral feeding with significantly decreased multiple-organ failure, systemic infections, surgery need, and mortality rate...

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common gastrointestinal disease necessitating hospitalization, with incidence increasing both in the United States and worldwide. Some recent guidelines for hospitalized patients with AP recommend initiation of oral feeding within 24 h of admission; however, a lack of clarity regarding feeding time and diet orders in clinical practice still exists. This review presents recent randomized clinical trials regarding feeding administration for patients with mild to moderate AP...

Purpose Cessation of enteral nutrition is usually a part of the early stage of acute pancreatitis (AP) treatment. To our knowledge, there is no large database study that examines the effects of preexisting malnutrition on the morbidities of patients admitted for acute pancreatitis. We aimed to investigate the effects of malnutrition on patients admitted for acute pancreatitis. Methods Data between 2008 and 2014 from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was extracted. Inclusion criteria included patients with a primary diagnosis of AP using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes, and ages greater than 17...

Nutrition support is a key method to treat acute pancreatitis (AP). Enteral nutrition (EN) has a role in treating AP, but the time point for EN initiation remains unclear. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy of early EN (EEN) and delayed EN (DEN) based on different time points (24, 48 and 72 h). The relevant databases including Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane library were searched until Dec 1, 2022. Studies comparing EEN and DEN in AP were included. The relative risk (RR) was used for comparing categorical variables, while standard mean difference (SMD) was used for continuous variables, both reported with 95% CI...
