The objective is to the amount of protein infants require after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
Postoperative neonates are susceptible to the adverse effects of surgery that is characterized by a breakdown of body stores. Without appropriate nutritional consideration this process can lead to increased physiological instability. It has been extensively documented that critically ill patients are typically catabolic. This results in body nitrogen losses from the breakdown of somatic protein to fuel metabolic processes such as, gluconeogenesis. The evaluation of this catabolic response is particularly crucial in infants due to their limited fat and lean body mass reserves. Quantifying the amount of protein needed to maintain body composition and to meet the demands of surgical stress is of clinical importance when considering factors associated with postoperative morbidity, such as delayed wound healing, impaired growth and prolonged hospital stay.
The results obtained from this study will assist with determining an appropriate level of protein for the development of optimal nutrition prescriptions that are aimed at reducing catabolism of body stores.
