Perioperative Immunonutrition for Patients Undergoing CRS and HIPEC
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Patients with peritoneal disease commonly present with symptoms of abdominal distension and subacute intestinal obstruction. This results in poor oral intake leading to these patients often presenting in a malnourished state.
CRS and HIPEC can potential provide improve survival for these patients, however can be a hazardous procedure, involving multi-organ resections. The risk is especially high in poorly nourished patients.
The study investigators hypothesize that perioperative immunonutrition can reduce wound infections and length of hospital stay, and improve perioperative outcomes. To the investigators' knowledge, it has not been evaluated in patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC.

Experimental: Oral IMPACT Perioperative immunonutrition will commence 5-7 days prior to surgery, and will continue for 5-7 days post-surgery, as soon as the patient is able to consume full feeds as instructed by his/her primary physician. The recommended dose for IMPACT immunotherapy is one packet, to be taken three times a day. |
Dietary Supplement: IMPACT immunotherapy
Powdered formula that is pre-packaged in individual packets which the patients will be instructed to mix with water before consumption.
|
Active Comparator: Standard Nutrition (ENSURE) Standard nutritional supplementation will commence 5-7 days prior to surgery, and will continue for 5-7 days post-surgery, as soon as the patient is able to consume full feeds as instructed by his/her primary physician. |
Dietary Supplement: ENSURE
Liquid milk formula available over the counter
