METHOD FOR REMEDIAL NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTATION OF PALLIATIVE-CARE ONCOLOGY PATIENTS WITH CACHEXIA Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A61K31/715 A61K38/01 A61P3/02 A23L1/29 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: oncology patient's nutritional status is determined with the use of the Harris-Benedict equation to calculate an oncology patient's daily nutrition, kcal/day. That is followed by adjusting the calculated patient's daily nutrition for the intensity of nutritional energy deficiency with the use of a clinically studied adjustment factor of 0.745. The nutritional supplementation is ensured through sipping or tube feeding techniques by administering hypercaloric nutrient mixtures (Nutridrink, Nutridrink Compact Protein, Nutridrink Nutrison Advanced) daily 3-5 times a day over the whole period of staying in hospital. That is combined with once-daily intramuscular injections of vitamin B1 (thiamine chloride) in a dose of 0.025-0.05 g, once-daily oral administration of one capsule of Fenules Zinc, daily intravenous introduction of Ringer's solution in an amount of 800-1300 ml/day at a rate of no more than 60 drops/min, and oral administration of calcium glycerophosphate in a dose of 0.5 g before a meal, 1 tablet 3 times a day.

EFFECT: restoring the gastrointestinal mucosal continuity of the palliative-care oncology patients, preventing viral and bacterial infectious complications, improving the patient's general state and reducing the intensity of clinical symptoms of the disease.
