All articles describing this model give 5% dextrose in drinking water without food.
Can I give them hi calorie drink during their healing period (2 days before surgery and until 4-5 days after it)?
Excellent question. I did not make any studies so far but I do not see any potential negative effects from this type of alimentation. It should enhance anastomotic healing and general well-being due to amino acid/protein intake. If in doubt maybe the best option could be to give it to FAP patients first and if everthing is ok then include ulcerative colitis patients. One of the potential side-effects could be higher stool frequency.
Thanks.
I work with rats, not patients.....
I found another drink called VITAL wich is indicated for post-surgery.
I'm going to try.
I think so. You can try the correct dose that your need that will be logically very small
My best regards
If you are going for maximal healing, I would use IMPACT with Glutamine
No but immunonutrition is a hot topic and its what we use clinically to optimize healing perioperatively
