Impact of oedema on recovery after major abdominal surgery and potential value of multifrequency bioimpedance measurements
No full textBackground:
The consequences of generalized oedema following major abdominal surgery are under-recognized, and its causes are poorly understood.Methods:
Thirty-eight patients (21 men and 17 women) were observed for the occurrence of oedema after major abdominal surgery. Oedema formation was related to fluid balance, changes in whole-body bioimpedance (Z) measured at four frequencies (5, 50, 100 and 200 kHz), and clinical outcome.Results:
The 20 patients who developed oedema were older than those who did not (mean(s.d.) 73(9) versus 63(14) years; P = 0·007). Fluid intake over the first 5 days after surgery was similar in both groups, but those with oedema excreted less total fluid (16·9(2·4) versus 19·7(3·5) litres; P = 0·022). Oedema was associated with a delay in tolerating solid food (P = 0·001) and opening bowels (P = 0·020), a prolonged hospital stay (median 17 (range 8-59) versus 9 (range 4-27) days; P = 0·001) and more postoperative complications (13 of 20 versus four of 18 patients; P = 0·011). The preoperative ratio of whole-body impedance at 200 kHz to that at 5 kHz was higher in those who subsequently developed oedema (0·81(0·03) versus 0·78(0·02); P = 0·015).Conclusion:
The development of oedema after major abdominal surgery is associated with increased morbidity. Age and reduced ability to excrete administered fluid load are significant aetiological factors and bioimpedance analysis can potentially identify patients at risk
The value of a combined multi-disciplinary nutritional gastroenterology clinics in managing patients with intestinal failure and complex nutritional problems
No full textAn increasing number of patients have chronic intestinal failure (IF) or other problems needing nutritional support. These patients need regular input from gastroenterologists, nutrition nurse specialists and dietitians, but traditionally these healthcare professionals see them separately. Here the authors describe their experience of a combined regional nutritional gastroenterology clinic and outline strategies that can avoid the need for home parenteral nutrition (HPN) or intravenous fluids in most cases. Over a 1-year period, 73 patients attended their clinic, with the majority (74%) coming from their own catchment area of 500 000. Of the 63 patients with IF, 49 had short bowel syndrome. 38 of the patients with IF (60%) could be managed with dietary and pharmacological modifications alone, while eight (13%) needed enteral tube feeding and 17 (27%) HPN or intravenous fluids. However, only nine (53%) of the 17 patients referred from other centres specifically for HPN instigation actually needed HPN or intravenous fluids. Patient satisfaction with the combined multidisciplinary clinic was high, with 85% of patients preferring to be seen within this model of outpatient care, although questionnaire response rates were low. The authors have therefore shown that a multidisciplinary nutritional gastroenterology clinic can provide effective patient-centred care and can minimise the need for invasive and costly intravenous nutritional support. Clinics of this type should be an integral part of the current plans to implement regional IF services
Ligand stabilised heterometallic clusters of Ruthenium
No full textH3Ru3(CO)9(μ3-COMe) can be readily deprotonated to generate the cluster anion [H2Ru3(CO)9(μ-COMe)]^-. This anion reacts with MPPh_3Cl (M = Cu, Ag or Au) or [Rh(CO)_3(PPh_3)_2]^+ to give the tetranuclear species H_2Ru_3(CO)_9(μ3-COMe)(MPPh_3) or H_2Ru_3(CO)_9(μ3COMe)(Rh(CO)_2PPh)_3 respectively which consist of a tri-ruthenium unit face-bridged by COMe and edge-bridged by the heterometal. The clusters H_2Ru_3(CO)_9(μ3-COMe)(MPPh_3) react rapidly with PPh_3 to form the monosubstituted derivatives H_2Ru_3(CO)_8PPh_3(μ3-COMe)(MPPh_3) which have analogous structures. H_2Ru_3(CO)_9(μ3-COMe)(Rh(CO)_2PPh_3) rearranges with loss of CO to give H_2Ru_3Rh(CO)_10PPh_3(μ-COMe) which consists of a tetrahedral metal core with a Ru-Ru bond edge-bridged by COMe. In solution, this cluster exits as 2 isomers, the structure of the most abundant of these corresponding to that in the solid state. Treatment of H2Ru3Rh(CO)10PPh(μ-COMe) with K[HBBu^s_3] forms an anionic mixture of [H_2Ru_3Rh(CO)_11PPh_3]^- and [HRu_3Rh(CO)_10PPh_3(COMe)]^-. [H_2Ru_3Rh(CO)_11PPh_3]^- has a tetrahedral metal core with an arrangement of ligands analogous to that of Rh_4(CO)_12. Reaction of the anionic mixture with [Rh(CO)_3(PPh_3)_2]^+ generates H_2Ru_3Rh_2(CO)_12(PPh_3)_2 which has a trigonal bipyramidal (tbp) metal core with the 2 Rh atoms occupying the apical sites. Reaction of the anionic mixture with AuPPh_3Cl leads to isolation of HRu_3RhAu(CO)_10(PPh_3)_2(μ3-COMe) and H_2Ru_3RhAu(CO)_11(PPh_3)_2 with the former also consisting of a tbp metal core. The reaction of [H_2Ru_3(CO)_9 (μ3-COMe)]^- with [Rh(CO)_3(PPh_3)_2]^+ also leads to formation of HRu_3(CO)_9PPh_3 (μ-COMe), HRu3(CO)8(PPh3)2 (μ-COMe) and H_2Ru_3Rh(CO)_8(PPh_3)_3 (μ-COMe). HRu3(CO)9PPh3 (μ-COMe) has a structure analogous to that of HRu_3(CO)_10 (μ-COMe) but with an equatorial CO ligand bound to one of the bridged Ru atoms replaced by PPh3. Cooling a solution of this species leads to the formation of 2 isomers due to loss of rotation of the COMe ligand about the C-OMe bond, each isomer arising from a different orientation of the Me group. The anion [H2Ru3(CO)9(μ3-COMe)]- also reacts with Rh(CO)(PPh3)2Cl which generates the heterometallic cluster H2Ru3Rh(CO)9(PPh3)2(μ-COMe). In solution, this cluster exists as 4 isomers at room temperature and 5 isomers at 213K with a general structure believed to be similar to that shown by H_2Ru_3Rh(CO)_10PPh_3(μ-COMe).</p
