Nutritional Support in Patients with Severe Acute Pancreatitis
RESUMEN: La pancreatitis aguda, especialmente en su forma grave, est谩 asociada con una respuesta inflamatoria sist茅mica que lleva a un estado de hipermetabolismo e hipercatabolismo, en el que se requiere un excelente soporte nutricional que permita mantener la integridad estructural y la funci贸n de los 贸rganos vitales con un est铆mulo m铆nimo de la secreci贸n pancre谩tica. La nutrici贸n parenteral total era el soporte de elecci贸n, que permit铆a obtener todos los beneficios de la nutrici贸n temprana sin estimular la secreci贸n pancre谩tica; pero la evidencia actual muestra mayores beneficios con la nutrici贸n enteral, porque se asocia con menos complicaciones infecciosas y metab贸licas y con disminuci贸n en los costos. Por ello las gu铆as actuales de tratamiento de la pancreatitis aguda grave recomiendan como primera elecci贸n el soporte nutricional enteral.ABSTRACT: Severe acute pancreatitis is associated with a systemic inflammatory response leading to a hypermetabolic, hypercatabolic condition; for those reasons, patients suffering from this disease require an excellent artificial nutritional support in order to maintain the structural integrity and the function of vital organs with minimal pancreatic secretion. Total parenteral nutrition has been the standard practice in the treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis because of the favorable outcomes of early nutritional support while avoiding pancreatic stimulation; however, recent evidence suggests there are potentially greater benefits with enteral as compared with parenteral nutrition, including fewer septic and metabolic complications and lesser costs. That is why present guidelines for the management of acute pancreatitis recommend that enteral instead of parenteral nutrition be used in patients with severe acute pancreatitis
