Is it harmful to infuse nutrient solution for gastric cancer?

Gastric cancer patients who cannot eat must use nutrient solution. Normal people also consume a certain amount of water and calories in a static state. For example, breathing is a hidden water loss, urine excretion requires water, and calories are provided by fat emulsion and glucose. If you cannot eat, you need intravenous supply to supplement normal water and nutrition. Nutrient solution is not a hormone. It will not rebound after discontinuation of use after the diet improves, and it is not addictive. Swelling of the feet is due to venous return problems, and diuretics can be used. Supplementation of nutrient solution should be based on the results of blood biochemistry tests and the electrolyte situation. The amount can be slowly reduced after the diet improves.

After surgery, patients need to decide which diet to adopt based on various situations. Generally speaking, patients cannot drink water within three days after surgery, and water must be delivered intravenously to maintain the body's physiological needs. After that, they can eat some liquid food without oil, such as rice soup, fruit juice or vegetable juice, etc. After the gastrointestinal tract gradually adapts, they can change to low-fat semi-liquid food or low-fat ordinary food according to the patient's condition. For surgery to remove the entrance of the stomach, to prevent food from reflux after eating, you should maintain a sitting or sloped position; for surgery to remove the outlet of the stomach, to prevent food from running down quickly after eating, lie down and rest for about 20 minutes first, and then move to a free position.
