Abstract

AIM: To evaluate the effect of parenteral and enteral nutrition combined with octreotide on pancreatic exocrine secretion of the patients with pancreatic fistula.

METHODS: Pancreatic juice, drained directly from the pancreatic fistula, was collected, and the volume, protein, amylase, HCO3-, K+, Na+ and Cl- were determined on d 1, 4 and 7 before and after 7-d treatment with octreotide, respectively.

RESULTS: No differences in exocrine pancreatic secretion were observed during the enteral and parenteral nutrition period (t = 2.03, P > 0.05); there were significant decreases in pancreatic juice secretion volume, protein, amylase, HCO3-, K+, Na+ and Cl- after parenteral and enteral nutrition combined with octreotide compared with octreotide pretreatment (t = 4.14, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION: There is no stimulatory effect on the pancreatic secretion by intrajejunal nutrition and parenteral nutrition. Octreotide is effective on the reduction of pancreatic fistula output.
