Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper was to explore the metabolic consequences of a spinal cord injury which results in paralysis and its effects on nutritional status. The literature was reviewed for an evaluation of parameters used to assess the nutritional status of SCI patients. The effect of spinal cord injury on each area was examined. The parameters included caloric need, protein requirement, nitrogen loss, fluid need, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory indices such as serum albumin and hemoglobin. After reviewing each parameter and its value in a nutritional assessment of the SCI patient, consideration was given to conditions and their impact on nutritional status. These conditions included urinary tract infection, pressure sores, and renal failure. Guidelines for nutritional assessment of SCI patients in a rehabilitation setting were then developed. These guidelines are available for practical application on local adult patients in such institutions.

Book Synopsis Examining the Nutritional Status and Nutrition Intake of Community Dwelling Non-Ambulatory Individuals with a Spinal Cord Injury With and Without Pressure Ulcers by : Arneta Finney
Download or read book Examining the Nutritional Status and Nutrition Intake of Community Dwelling Non-Ambulatory Individuals with a Spinal Cord Injury With and Without Pressure Ulcers written by Arneta Finney and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) can be a devastating event causing a significant burden to individuals, their family members and society. In the United States (US), it is estimated 276,000 individuals are living with a SCI and it is projected that 12,500 new SCI cases are reported each year. Individuals with a physical impairment such as SCI often develop a pressure ulcer (PU), which may be prevented. There is a correlation to the development of PU's from poor nutritional status and poor nutritional intake. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between macronutrient and micronutrient intake, anthropometric measurements, psychosocial, disability, and nutritional status measurements among community dwelling non-ambulatory persons with a (SCI) with and without (PU's). Methods: Participants were SCI individuals living in the community with and without a PU and were recruited from home health agencies and SCI rehabilitation facilities. Data was collected using structured questionnaires, nutritional assessment tools, skin assessment, and anthropometric measurement over 4 days consisting of one initial visit and a second visit on day four. Macro and micronutrient intake data was collected using a 3-day self-reported food log. Psychosocial factors were measured via structured questionnaire administered during the initial home visit. Nutritional status measurements included the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form.Disability status measurements included World Health Organization Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0, and Spinal Cord Injury-Secondary Condition Scale (SCI-SCS). The sample included 80 participants, 40 with and 40 without PUs. Results: This study found significant and clinical differences in micro and macronutrient intake among participants with and without PU indicating persons with SCI are at some nutritional risk. Conclusions: Participants consumed inadequate dietary intake in both quantity and quality. Participants with PU are not getting enough protein. Calories are within the recommended daily allowances; however, those calories are coming from cholesterol, carbohydrates, saturated fat, and can lead to decrease in wound healing and increase their risk for secondary condition such as cardiovascular disease.
