- Nitrogen balance was lower in the patients who received amino acids and glucose during general anesthesia than in those who did not.
- The infusion of glucose and amino acids during general anesthesia increased measured energy expenditure.
- The administration of amino acids and glucose may decrease the length of the hospital stay.
ObjectivesRecent reports have shown that intraoperative infusions of glucose and amino acids exert anticatabolic effects. The appropriate dosages of these amino acids and glucose during general anesthesia remain unknown.MethodsPatients who underwent esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal cancer were infused with acetated Ringer's solution that contained glucose and amino acids (B1 group [10 patients]: glucose, 3 g/h; amino acids, 1.2 g/h; B2 group [12 patients]: glucose, 4.5 g/h; amino acids, 1.8 g/h) or did not contain glucose and amino acids (C group, 10 patients). The measured energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry. Nitrogen balance was measured during the anesthesia, and the lengths of the hospital stay were recorded.ResultsResting energy expenditure (B1: 1230 ± 228; B2: 1317 ± 282; C: 1012 ± 153 kcal/h; B2 vs C, P < 0.05) and nitrogen balance (B1: â1.78 ± 0.78 g; B2: â0.85 ± 0.98 g; C: â2.94 ± 2.4 g; B2 vs C, P < 0.05) differed significantly between the B2 and C groups. The lengths of the hospital stay differed between the B2 and C groups (B1: 29 ± 15 d; B2: 18 ± 6 d; C: 37 ± 27 d; B2 vs C, P = 0.06).ConclusionsThe administration of amino acids and glucose increased measured energy expenditure, alleviated nitrogen balance, and may decrease the length of the hospital stay.
