Old Testament’s Book of Judges

Eglon

sustained an

acute posttraumatic

enterocutaneous fistula

„...and Ehud

put forth his hand,

and took the dagger

and thrust it into his belly...

And the dirt came out.“

Celsus Aulus Cornelius

“ Cicero medicorum ”

25y b.c. – 50y a.c.

“...when the colon has been penetrated,

it can be sutured,

not with any certain assurance,

but because this doubtful hope

is preferable to certain despair;

for occasionally it heals up.”

John Hunter

first recorded

conservative approach !!!

...fistulas occasionally close spontaneously ...

“ In such cases nothing is to be done but dressing the

wound superficially, and when the contents of the

wounded viscus become less, we may hope for cure.”

1728 - 1793

Surgical catastrophes

C A S E

19 years-old female

Hospitalized in another center for abdominal pain and

necrosis of abdominal wall, one month after incision in

the right inguinal region according to acute lymphangitis

10 days after surgery fistula enterocutanea appeared,

patient’s general condition rapidly decreased

No nutritional support instituted – only I.V. fluid therapy

INITIAL NUTRITION THERAPY



initial nutritional therapy

Maybe we need some extra information

before starting nutritional support?

ENERGY

20-30 kCal/kg per day

A Actual body weight (28 kg)

B Ideal body weight (57 kg)

C Adjusted body weight (46 kg)

Ideal weight + 0.25x(actual weight-ideal weight)

1050 – 1750 kCal/day (1400 kCal/day)


PROTEINS AND AMINO ACIDS

C 1.5 - 2 g/kg ideal body weight / day

85.5 - 114 g proteins


DETERMINATE

glucose : fat RATIO?

G 50 - 70%

F 30 - 50%


initial nutritional therapy

it has been started

immediately, but how?


?

?

?

a) Enteral

b) Parenteral

c) Combination



Immediately on receipt,

beside all symptomatic conservative therapy,

applied is TPN – system “all in one”

CVC placed in v. subclavia l. sin….


TPN

Composition of nutrients:

Proteins&AA – Glamin, Vamin 18,…….500-1000g

Carbon-hydrates – Glucosa, ………….100-150g

Fat emulsions 10% - ………………...250-750ml

+ electrolytes, vitamins, trace elements, heparin and

insulin crystal………………………………...on going

• Volume…………………………...1050 – 2000 ml


20 days after admission

in severe currently condition

unconscious

psycho-motoric agitated

without peripheral pulsations

with peripheral cyanosis

three grand mal seizures

patient transferred to ICU…


IMAGING STUDIES

ECG: sinus tachycardia Fr 135/min

DOPPLER showed thrombosis of v.

jugularis l. sin.

CT of ABDOMEN: hepato-splenomegalia

and colonic dilatation.

CT of BRAIN: without any signs of

pathological alteration of the tissue.

EEG: normal


Thrombosis of v. jugularis l.sin

↓

CVC was removed from v. subclavia l.sin

↓

Another one was placed on the opposite

side of the body


THERAPY STRATEGIES

Antibiotics

TPN

Anticoagulant therapy

Immunosuppressive (KS, azatioprim)

Mesalazine tabl.

Blood transfusions

Albumin, immunoglobulin, cгуоprecipitate

+ I.V. fluid therapy



Fistula output: ▼ 850 ml/day

▼ 470 ml/day


Bowel in continuity / complitely disrupted ???

Fistula arrising from the lateral wall / end fistula

– no communication with bowel distally ???

Associated abscess cavity / drain into the cavity ???

Condition of adjacent bowel:

damaged, strictured, inflamed ???

Distal obstruction ???

Arrising in what part of GIT ???

Ethiologic disease process ???

Lenght of the tract << / >> 2cm ???

Bowel wall defect greater 1 cm² ???



Fistula output: ▼ 470 ml/day

▼ 220 ml/day


How long parenteral nutrition

should be given?

Our TPN lasted for 35 days

Treatment gave a positive result and

fistula enterocutanea was closed

We started with enteral nutrition

two days before TPN stopped


ENTERAL NUTRITION

Our choice was

Sip feeding


Enteral nutrition

Sip feeding

1st and 2nd day - EN + TPN

3rd and 4th day - EN only

The rest of the treatment –

EN + special diet
