ABSTRACT
BACK GROUND Determining the optimal timing of postoperative oral feeding in trauma patients who have undergone abdominal surgery with small bowel and/or mesenteric injuries is challenging. The aim of this study is to investigate serum lactate as a factor that can predict oral feeding tolerance and prolonged postoperative ileus (PPOI) in patients who underwent surgery for small bowel and/or mesenteric injury due to trauma. METHODS:
The single center retrospective observational study was conducted on 367 patients who underwent surgery for small bowel and/or mesenteric injury between January 2013 and July 2021. The patient group was divided into two groups based on whether the peak serum lactate was over 2mmol/L (18 mg/dL). In the group of lactate > 2mmol/L, it was divided into prolonged postoperative ileus (PPOI) groups and groups rather than PPOI.RESULTS:
Patients in the peak serum lactate > 2 group had tendency to use vasopressors, lower initial systolic blood pressure, larger number of packed red blood cells for 24 h, higher injury severity score, higher PPOI incidence, and a tendency for delayed oral intake tolerance. In peak serum lactate greater than 2 mmol/L group, the lactate normalization time (OR 1.699, p = 0.04), quantity of FFP transfusion for 24 h (OR 1.145, p = 0.012), and creatine kinase (OR 1.001, p = 0.023) were related to PPOI. The lactate normalization time had the highest correlation.CONCLUSION:
In patients undergoing surgical management for small bowel and/or mesenteric injury after trauma, serum lactate normalization time affects oral intake tolerance and prolongs postoperative ileus.Palabras clave
