[The use of fatty emulsions in the postoperative period in cardiosurgical patients with kidney failure].

The data are presented on the use of fatty emulsions for parenteral nutrition of 68 cardiosurgical patients with renal failure in the postoperative period. It has been established that intravenous administration of fatty emulsions ensures up to 50% of an overall daily calories uptake, with the infusate volume restricted considerably, helps stabilize energy and nitrogen body balance and reduces the risk of complications associated with hyperosmolality and hyperglycemia.

[The use of artificial feeding during the resuscitation of heart surgery patients].

The data on the use of various schemes of artificial nutrition (AN) are reviewed in 137 patients with postoperative complications after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. It has been established that AN as part of a complex therapy of patients in the early postoperative period has a correcting effect on metabolism and promotes the improvement of the patients' clinical condition. Rational combination of parenteral and enteral tube nutrition ensures adequate AN of cardiosurgical patients in the early postoperative period.
