It will offer patients<\/p>\n<p>with intestinal failure comprehensive treatment options to help them transition<\/p>\n<p>from total parenteral nutrition (TPN) to a more normal oral diet.<\/p>\n<p>TPN is used to provide calories and nutrition intravenously for a patient<\/p>\n<p>whose intestinal tract cannot digest or absorb nutrients normally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Intestinal failure often means long-term and sometimes permanent dependence<\/p>\n<p>upon TPN.&nbsp; Without TPN, the patients would become dehydrated, under<\/p>\n<p>nourished and eventually die.<\/p>\n<p>The principle cause of intestinal failure is short bowel syndrome, which<\/p>\n<p>can result from injury, disease or as a result of surgical treatment of<\/p>\n<p>complex intestinal conditions.&nbsp; In the past, patients often remained<\/p>\n<p>dependent on TPN.&nbsp; A small minority of patients may benefit from surgical<\/p>\n<p>procedures on their bowel, such as intestinal lengthening, tapering or<\/p>\n<p>creation of reversed segments.&nbsp; In some patients it becomes impossible<\/p>\n<p>or dangerous to continue TPN in the long term because of development of<\/p>\n<p>life-threatening complications such as liver disease or central venous<\/p>\n<p>catheter infections.<\/p>\n<p>In the last few years, it has become apparent that patients who do not<\/p>\n<p>tolerate TPN in the long term may enjoy an improved quality of life with<\/p>\n<p>intestinal transplantation.&nbsp; Whatever the underlying reason for intestinal<\/p>\n<p>failure, the goal of the new program is to improve the function of the<\/p>\n<p>remaining bowel by employing unique, innovative and non-invasive strategies<\/p>\n<p>pioneered at the NRC.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to offer patients with intestinal failure a non-invasive<\/p>\n<p>alternative to all the other treatment options we currently employ at NHS<\/p>\n<p>and UNMC is a significant addition to our intestinal failure and transplant<\/p>\n<p>programs, said Kishore Iyer, M.D., director of the new program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to optimizing the medical management of these patients, the<\/p>\n<p>Intestinal Rehabilitation Program will teach patients what to eat and drink<\/p>\n<p>and how to incorporate this new knowledge into their lifestyle once they<\/p>\n<p>return home.&nbsp; The ultimate goal is to wean patients slowly from TPN<\/p>\n<p>and improve their overall quality of life.&nbsp;&nbsp; An obvious benefit<\/p>\n<p>will be the reduction and prevention of some of the recognized complications<\/p>\n<p>associated with long-term TPN.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past eight years, the NRC has treated nearly 400 patients,<\/p>\n<p>representing the largest single experience in the area of intestinal rehabilitation<\/p>\n<p>in the world, said Theresa Byrne, Ph.D. of the Massachusetts Center.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With an average follow-up period of two years, our studies have shown<\/p>\n<p>that following intensive treatment at our center, about 40 percent of patients<\/p>\n<p>are able to remain off TPN and another 40 percent experience a significant<\/p>\n<p>reduction in their need for intravenous feedings.&nbsp; The success and<\/p>\n<p>growth of our program, coupled with the complexity of the medical issues<\/p>\n<p>confronting many of the patients, forced us to look for a new home that<\/p>\n<p>could offer patients a full spectrum of services and interventions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What we found at NHS and UNMC is ideal both in terms of clinical staff<\/p>\n<p>and facilities.&nbsp; This one-stop comprehensive team approach to intestinal<\/p>\n<p>failure means that we are now in a position to offer the most appropriate<\/p>\n<p>therapy for the patient with intestinal failure, without being restricted<\/p>\n<p>to one form of therapy or another.<\/p>\n<p>Patients coming in to the Intestinal Rehabilitation Program in Omaha<\/p>\n<p>will be admitted to Cooperative Care rooms in The Lied Transplant Center<\/p>\n<p>with nutritional instruction and demonstrations taking place in the Cooperative<\/p>\n<p>Care dining room.&nbsp; The clinical progress of the patients will be monitored<\/p>\n<p>daily by a team of physicians, nurses, dietitians and other health-care<\/p>\n<p>professionals, all of whom have a special interest and long-standing experience<\/p>\n<p>in management of TPN and intestinal failure.<\/p>\n<p>The team at NHS and UNMC has, over the years, evaluated and managed<\/p>\n<p>about 300 patients with intestinal failure and performed more than 120<\/p>\n<p>intestinal transplant operations, said Alan Langnas, D.O., chief of transplantation<\/p>\n<p>at NHS and UNMC.&nbsp; This represents close to a third of the world experience<\/p>\n<p>in intestinal transplantation.&nbsp; By joining forces with the NRC and<\/p>\n<p>creating the new rehabilitation program we will provide our intestinal<\/p>\n<p>failure patients a continuum of care they wont find anywhere else. We<\/p>\n<p>can offer patients non-invasive treatments and if those fail, evaluate<\/p>\n<p>them for a range of surgical procedures the last of which is transplantation.<\/p>\n<p>Our goal will be to assist patients back to a more normal life.&nbsp; Thats<\/p>\n<p>very exciting for us and more importantly for our patients, Dr. Langnas<\/p>\n<p>added.<\/p>\n<p>The Intestinal Failure Clinic at NHS and UNMC, which was established<\/p>\n<p>about 10 months ago, sees two to three patients with intestinal failure<\/p>\n<p>each week.&nbsp; Patients are assessed for intestinal disease, liver problems,<\/p>\n<p>dietary management and in some cases for reconstructive surgical options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Through a multi-disciplinary team approach, the clinic has already had<\/p>\n<p>considerable success in weaning patients from TPN and even avoiding the<\/p>\n<p>need for intestinal transplantation in some cases, said Dr. Iyer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Where early evaluation for intestinal transplantation is appropriate,<\/p>\n<p>this can be carried out immediately.&nbsp; The new Intestinal Rehabilitation<\/p>\n<p>Program will aim to build on the early success of the Intestinal Failure<\/p>\n<p>Clinic and on the premier international reputation of our intestinal and<\/p>\n<p>liver transplantation programs, Dr. Iyer added.<\/p>\n<p>The new rehabilitation program projects an average of six patients going<\/p>\n<p>through the 14 to 26 day in-patient treatment plan at one time.&nbsp; In<\/p>\n<p>addition to their medical, nutritional and nursing teams, patients have<\/p>\n<p>the added benefit of a care partner who they select.&nbsp; That partner<\/p>\n<p>can be a spouse, parent, relative or friend.&nbsp; That is the beauty of<\/p>\n<p>the Cooperative Care philosophy, allowing patients a level of independence<\/p>\n<p>and comfort, not routinely associated with hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>Physicians at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Womens Hospital<\/p>\n<p>started the NRC program about eight years ago.&nbsp; Going forward, collaborative<\/p>\n<p>research efforts will be focused in both Boston and in Omaha.&nbsp; The<\/p>\n<p>ability to offer patients access to innovative research and this complete<\/p>\n<p>continuum of care speaks well to our intestinal failure and transplant<\/p>\n<p>programs, said Dr. Langnas.<\/p>\n<p>The NHS and UNMC intestinal transplantation program is one of only four<\/p>\n<p>in the United States to be approved for coverage by Medicare.&nbsp; While<\/p>\n<p>interest in<\/p>\n<p>intestinal transplantation is clearly on the increase, we believe it<\/p>\n<p>is just as important to focus our efforts on developing non-invasive and<\/p>\n<p>simpler medical and surgical options that may be more appropriate than<\/p>\n<p>transplantation for some patients with intestinal failure, says Dr. Iyer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nationwide, approximately 50 private insurers have approved the NRC rehabilitation<\/p>\n<p>program.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Intestinal Rehabilitation Program, you can<\/p>\n<p>log onto any of the following web sites: www.nebraskahealthsystem.com,<\/p>\n<p>www.unmc.edu, or&nbsp; www.nrcenter.com.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nebraska Health System (NHS) and the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) are expanding their world-renowned intestinal failure and transplantation programs with the creation of a new Intestinal Rehabilitation Program.&nbsp; This new initiative will be started in partnership with the Nutritional Restart Center (NRC) of Hopkinton, Mass., and will be located in Omaha.
