Abstract
Patients (16) with advanced chronic inflammatory disease of the bowel were treated with hyperalimentation to restore and improve nutrition and provide bowel rest. An average weight gain of 9 lb was recorded for this group of patients even though 9 of the 16 had 14 surgical procedures performed during the study. One patient in the study developed Candida albicans septicemia and subsequently died. A standard hyperalimentation formula, delivery system and patient monitoring method were utilized effectively to achieve the maximum nutritional benefits with minimal hazards to patient welfare.
