Abstract

Aim: Malnutrition can increase the frequency of infections by reducing the immune system response. Parenteral nutrition (PN) is considered an important treatment for patients who cannot receive adequate oral or enteral nutrition. The contents of nutritional products may be different. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of soy-based and olive oil-based parenteral nutrition products on infection parameters.
Material and Method: A total of 82 patients were included in the study, 50 of which were soy (Group 2) and 32 were olive-based (Group 1) parenteral nutrition. Patient files and laboratory results were reviewed. Age, gender, 1st, 7th, 14th and 21st days in intensive care, leukocyte and platelet counts, Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-Reactive Protein (CRP) values, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (Apache II) score and first blood culture results after hospitalization were recorded.
Results: The 7th and 21st day CRP values in Group 1 were statistically significantly lower than the 7th and 21st days CRP values in Group 2. In Group 1, growth in blood culture was statistically significantly lower and in Group 2 there was a statistically significant early growth.
Conclusion: As a result, it was found that olive oil-based lipid-containing nutritional solutions were more advantageous in terms of infection on intensıve care than soy-based nutrition products. It was concluded that patients who received postoperative mechanical ventilator support fed with olive oil-based parenteral nutrition products had less infectious growth.
