Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed at investigating the nutritional status, nutritional support, and nutritional indicators of critically ill patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygen (ECMO) in intensive care units (ICU). Methods: This descriptive study obtained data from the medical records of 37 patients who were treated using ECMO at a university hospital in Korea. The patients were admitted to the Korea University Anam Hospital ICU with acute or serious damage to vital organs from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2016. Results: Although 32 patients (86.5%) were at a high risk of malnutrition, 26 patients (70.3%) were considered normal in terms of nutritional status by the nutritionist at the beginning of their ICU stay. However, after two weeks, nine patients had passed away and only one patient maintained normal status. Parenteral nutrition was started first but took 4.25 ± 6.95 days till initiation. Only eight patients (21.6%) were able to meet their requirement for both calories and protein. The group provided with adequate calorie and protein showed significantly longer use of the ECMO and respirator and longer ICU and total hospital stay than their counterparts. Normal levels of serum albumin and protein of the group at low-risk for malnutrition on the day of initiation of ECMO, which were significantly higher than the high-risk group, declined by the last day of ECMO leading to a lack of significant differences between the two groups. Conclusion: Considering that the nutritional indicators of patients deteriorated as the days on ECMO increased, more aggressive nutritional management to ensure adequate nutritional support should be emphasized from the beginning and throughout the ICU stay.

본 연구는 부적절한 영양지원이 ECMO 환자의 영양상태 뿐만 아니라 사망률 등에도 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 보여주었다. 대부분의 ECMO 환자는 중환자실 입실 초기부터 영양상태가 이미 영양불량이거나 영양불량 위험군이었고, 재원기간이 경과하면서 악화되는 것을 관찰하였다. 이는 ECMO 환자들이 가장 위중할 때에 필요로 하는 칼로리와 단백질의 영양 지원이 충분하지 않았음을 시사하는 것이며, 특히 PN과 EN의 개시 시점이 영양관리지침의 권고보다 지연되지 않도록 노력하는 개선이 시급하다. 또한, ECMO 환자의 영양상태 평가만 아니라 공급한 영양지원에 대한 환자의 반응까지 고려한 영양관리가 필요한데, 이를 위해서는 영양관리가 중환자 간호에서 우선시 되어야 하며, 영양사를 포함한 다학제간 접근이 반드시 포함되어야 한다. 점차 증가하는 ECMO 적용 사례를 고려한다면, 중환자실에서의 집중치료 과정에 영양관리도 비중있게 반영되어야 할 것이다. 차후에는 전향적 무작위통제 연구로 환자의 질환 유형이나 ECMO 배치형태에 따른 영양지원방법과 효과를 비교할 것을 제안한다. 더 많은 대상자 수 확보를 위하여 여러 병원의 자료를 취합하여 분석하거나 환자 상태에 따라 영양공급의 적정량을 평가하고 비교하는 연구를 제안한다.
