Description
Critically ill patients often experience deficiency of trace elements due to
- Decreased Intake,
- Malabsorption,
- Increased Requirements,
- Enhanced Losses & Systemic Inflammation etc.
Fortunately, Essential trace elements protects cells from oxidative damage
Why M trace inj is Important in Critical Care
- Selenium (Se)*: Important for antioxidant functions and immune response.
- Zinc (Zn):* Crucial for immune function, cell proliferation, and wound healing.
- Copper (Cu):* Involved in antioxidant defense and protein metabolism.
- Chromium (Cr):_* Essential for metabolism and energy pathways.
- Manganese (Mn):* Necessary for normal physiological processes and wound healing.
M Trace Inj – Benefits of Supplementation
- Improved Outcomes: Supplementing with M trace inj improves patient outcomes and reduce mortality in some cases.
- Wound Healing : Adequate levels of M trace inj supports wound repair processes.
- Reduced ICU Stay: Studies have shown that M Trace inj supplementation can lead to shorter intensive care unit (ICU) stays.
Dosage:
MTrace is routinely included in both enteral (tube feeding) and parenteral (intravenous) nutrition.
The specific regimen and dosage are tailored to the patient’s presentation and available evidence.
Monitoring trace element levels is important to prevent both deficiency and excess.
