Efficacy of monounsaturated fatty acids in reducing risk of the cardiovascular diseases, cancer, inflammation, and insulin resistance: a narrative review: Ki Hyun Kim, Yoonhong Kim, Kyung Won Seo; Ann Clin Nutr Metab 2023;15(1):2-7. Published online April 1, 2023; DOI: https://doi.org/10.15747/ACNM.2023.15.1.2

Purpose: The purpose of this review is to explore the potential benefits of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), specifically those found in olive oil, on weight loss, cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Additionally, this review examines the use of olive oil–based intravenous lipid emulsions (ILEs) in providing parenteral nutrition to patients with diverse needs.
Current concept: MUFAs, found in olive oil, nuts, and some animal foods, have been found to have numerous health benefits. A diet high in MUFAs can aid in weight loss and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Olive oil, in particular, has been linked to a lower risk of cancer, inflammation, and insulin resistance. In addition, olive oil–based ILEs have been utilized for over two decades and are well tolerated by patients requiring parenteral nutrition.
Conclusion: A diet rich in MUFAs, specifically from olive oil, can provide numerous health benefits, including weight loss and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Additionally, olive oil–based ILEs have been shown to effectively provide nutrients to diverse populations requiring parenteral nutrition and have demonstrated the ability to preserve immune function and induce less lipid peroxidation than other ILEs. Further research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits of MUFAs and olive oil-based ILEs, but current evidence suggests that they may be a valuable addition to a healthy diet and medical treatment.

Selenium deficiency and supplementation in infants: a narrative review: Ji Young Lee, Min Jung Kang, Hyun Jeong Kim, Sung Yun Suh, Yoon Sook Cho, Sook Hee An; Ann Clin Nutr Metab 2023;15(1):8-14. Published online April 1, 2023; DOI: https://doi.org/10.15747/ACNM.2023.15.1.8

Abstract PDF ePub: Purpose: This review aims to provide an overview of the factors and clinical outcomes associated with selenium deficiency and the guidelines on the optimal selenium supplementation in infants.
Current concept: Selenium is a cofactor required to maintain the activity of glutathione peroxidase and is an essential trace element in the human body. Selenium is involved in many stages of oxidative injury within the human body. In severe cases, selenium deficiency may lead to cardiomyopathy. Particularly in infants, the risk factors for selenium deficiency are preterm birth and long-term parenteral nutrition. Several studies have been conducted on the relationship between selenium deficiency and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity, and sepsis, all of which are common diseases in preterm infants. In the past, 2–3 mcg/kg/day of intravenous selenium supplementation was recommended in preterm infants with selenium deficiency. However, recent studies have suggested that only 2–3 mcg/kg/day can prevent further decreases of selenium level in the blood of preterm infants, and that higher supplementation of 1.5–4.5 mcg/kg/day or 7 mcg/kg/day is necessary to reach the level of healthy infants at term. The recommended dose of selenium through enteral nutrition for preterm infants is 1.3–4.5 mcg/kg/day or 5–10 mcg/kg/day, depending on the guideline.
Conclusion: Adequate selenium administration is required for adequate nutritional support in infants to prevent selenium deficiency, and more studies should be conducted to establish dosing guidelines considering risk factors in preterm infants.

Preoperative consumption of a carbohydrate drink before laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and beneficial in Korea: a non-randomized controlled study: Yoo Jin Choi, Yoonhyeong Byun, Seong Mi Yang, Ho-Jin Lee, Hongbeom Kim; Ann Clin Nutr Metab 2023;15(1):15-21. Published online April 1, 2023; DOI: https://doi.org/10.15747/ACNM.2023.15.1.15

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material ePub

Purpose: Overnight fasting prior to elective surgery is the traditional way of avoiding the risk of aspiration during anesthesia induction. However, it causes mental and metabolic stress to patients. Therefore, we investigated the safety and potential benefits of the preoperative consumption of a carbohydrate drink.
Methods: This was a single-center prospective, nonrandomized study with questionnaire. Patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included. There was no restriction on age, underlying diseases, and biliary drainage prior to surgery. They were preoperatively given either a carbohydrate drink or were instructed to fast from midnight before surgery. Perioperative emotional status was measured using the visual analog scale.
Results: The 132 patients completed the questionnaire, with 68 receiving the carbohydrate drink and 64 following nil per oral after-midnight instruction. There were no postoperative complications related to preoperative drink consumption or the cholecystectomy procedure itself in both groups. There were no significant differences in all the assessed feelings postoperatively except that preoperative discomforts, such as hunger and thirst, were significantly more alleviated in the group of preoperative consumption of a carbohydrate drink.
Conclusion: Preoperative consumption of a carbohydrate drink was found to be safe and effective in alleviating preoperative discomfort in elective surgery patients, including older patients and those with underlying comorbidities, who were at greater risk for aspiration. Therefore, we recommend considering preoperative drink consumption as an alternative to traditional overnight fasting in elective surgery patients.

Comparison of a volume-based feeding protocol with standard feeding for trauma patients in intensive care units in Korea: a retrospective cohort study: Juhong Park, Yesung Oh, Songhee Kwon, Ji-hyun Lee, Mihyang Kim, Kyungjin Hwang, Donghwan Choi, Junsik Kwon; Ann Clin Nutr Metab 2023;15(1):22-29. Published online April 1, 2023; DOI: https://doi.org/10.15747/ACNM.2023.15.1.22

Abstract PDF ePub

Purpose: Although early enteral nutrition for critically ill patients is essential, it is difficult to provide enteral nutrition to trauma patients in early hospitalization stages due to frequent surgeries and examinations. We aimed to identify the effect of achieving early enteral nutrition goals and improving outcomes through a volume-based feeding (VBF) protocol for trauma patients.
Methods: Patients who were admitted to the trauma intensive care units (TICUs) of the Ajou University Hospital from January 2020 to September 2021 and received enteral tube feeding for at least 7 days were studied. An institution-specific VBF protocol was developed, and nurses were trained in its execution. We retrospectively compared outcomes, such as in-hospital mortality and initial nutritional goal achievement, between the new and standard protocols.
Results: Among 2,935 patients, 109 met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 64 patients received nutrition through VBF, with no feeding intolerance symptoms. The VBF group started enteral nutrition approximately 16.9 hours earlier and group achieved 80% of the target calorie and protein intake approximately one day faster than the control group (n=45). The average calorie supply per body weight per day was 4.9 kcal/kg/day more in the VBF group. An increase of 0.2 g/kg/day was also observed in protein uptake. However, mortality and adverse hospital events did not differ between the groups.
Conclusion: The VBF protocol for patients admitted to the TICU increased the initial nutrient supply without risk of feeding intolerance, but there was no improvement in major clinical outcomes, including mortality and adverse hospital events.

Abstract PDF ePub

Purpose: It is important to understand the nutritional status of critically ill COVID-19 patients and to provide adequate associated support. We attempted to determine how nutritional status and the amount of nutritional support provided to critically ill patients affect their survival.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients admitted to the intensive care unit of Dong-A University Hospital between January and December 2021. We divided the patients into survivors and those who died during COVID-19 treatment and compared and analyzed their clinical parameters, nutrition-related indicators, nutritional status, and nutritional support.
Results: Of 70 patients reviewed, 57 survived. Mortality was higher in the older group (P=0.006). The patients who underwent ventilator, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or continuous renal replacement therapy showed higher mortality. Nutritional status at the time of admission and the nutritional requirements did not differ among patient groups. However, the actual amounts of calories (P<0.001) and protein (P=0.019) supplied were lower in the mortality group. Serum C-reactive protein level was higher (P=0.002) and serum albumin level was lower in those who did not survive (P<0.001) compared with surviving patients at discharge.
Conclusion: We did not determine whether the initial nutritional status of patients with COVID-19 affected their survival due to various factors associated with the severity of the disease. However, given the similarities between disease severity and nutritional status at the time of admission, our results indicate that adequate nutritional support can contribute to survival in critically ill COVID-19 patients with pneumonia.
