Abstract :
The aim of the present study is comparison of glutamine and probiotics as a nutrition supplement in patients with sepsis in terms of Length of hospital stay, Mechanical Ventilaton free days, Mortality rate, Frequency of infectious complications. The final sample comprises of 120 patients– 60 patients in each group on the basis of quota system i.e patients receiving glutamine and probiotics as standard diet. One sample of 10 ml blood sent for culture/sensitivity as to clinically diagnose septicemia, and second sample of 10 ml blood for culture/sensitivity after two weeks of enteral feed. They are evaluated by history, clinical examination and relevant investigations. Group 1 will receive glutamine 30gm/ day and Group 2 will receive probiotics 10 billion CFU/day. This prospective, clinical study was designed to detect differences in clinical outcomes between two enteral formulas after admission to an ICU. There was marked reduction in length of hospital stay with patients receiving enteral glutamine in comparison to probiotics. There was no significant difference in mechanical ventilator free days & frequency of infectious complications in between patients receiving enteral glutamine and probiotics. There was significant difference in mortality between two groups i.e mortality rate decreases more in patients receiving enteral glutamine supplementation than probiotics. Our study therefore concludes exogenous enteral glutamine supplementation in sepsis patients have shown benefits related to anti–inflammatory roles, immune modulation, preservation of tissue function and antioxidant capacity
