The effects of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) were studied in nine of 19 patients with intra-aortic balloon pumping TPN (c. 27 kcal/kg/day) was begun 3 hours after the start of pumping. The non-protein caloric source was composed of hypertonic dextrose and fat emulsion (60% and 40%). The nitrogen intake was 1 g/150-200 kcal/day. The ten control patients received 5% dextrose in corresponding volume/hour. Hemodynamic studies were performed before and 24, 48 and 72 hours after the start of counterpulsation. The predicted and the observed resting energy expenditure were recorded in both patient groups during counter-pulsation. Systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance differed significantly between the groups. Cardiac function improved in both groups. In the TPN group the measured resting energy expenditure increased by 33% more than predicted on day 2 and by 56% on day 3 and in the controls the figures were 31% and 40%--all rises significant. Total parenteral nutrition with low fat content thus alters the hemodynamic equilibrium without clinically significant effects in patients undergoing intra-aortic balloon pumping. These patients are hypermetabolic and should receive artificial nutrition as soon as possible.
