thrombophlebitis/carbohydrate

To reduce the likelihood of thrombophlebitis during intravenous feeding through a peripheral vein, the osmolality of the solution is usually reduced by disproportionately raising the lipid content and lowering the carbohydrate, electrolyte, and aminoacid concentrations. The possibility that delivery

In an effort to characterize the role of carbohydrate metabolism during the hypermetabolic state associated with whole body cooling, oral (n = 6) and intravenous (iv; n = 3) glucose tolerance tests (GTT) were performed in nude subjects. Unexpectedly, 1-2 wks after the completion of their iv GTT (50%

The relative risk of thrombophlebitis induced by either Long-chain Triglycerides (LCTs) or Medium-chain Triglycerides (MCTs) during peripheral i.v. nutrition (PIN) was evaluated. A total of 76 patients were randomly assigned into group A (n=40) and group B (n=36). The nutritional requirements in

Basic nutrition solutions become ever more important in postoperative infusion therapy. We tested the peripheral venous tolerance of an infusion solution which included aminoacids and carbohydrates (1100 mosm/l, 2400 kJ/l). We compared the peripheral venous tolerance of this nutrition solution with

The purpose of this study was to assess effects of heme administered intravenously, complexed to human serum albumin, on activities of the hepatic hemoproteins, cytochrome(s) P-450, and tryptophan pyrrolase, and on the size of the heme pool that regulates activity of 5-aminolevulinate synthase.
