Title: The Clinical Research of Early Enteral Nutrition Support in Critically Ill Patients with Neurological Diseases
Abstract: Objective:To investigate the curative effect of early enteral nutrition support on critically ill patients in intensive care unit of department of neurology(NICU).Methods:Sixty-two critically ill patients who can not eat anything in NICU were randomly divided into enteral nutrition group and common diet group.The levels of nutritional status were measured during the periods of nutrition support.Results:After the second week of nutrition support,the levels of serum total protein(TP),albumin(ALB),prealbumin(PA) were significantly higher in enteral nutrition group than those before the enteral nutrition support(P0.01).The levels of TP,ALB and PA were significantly higher(P0.05 or P0.01) in the common diet group than those before treatment.The increased levels of TP,ALB and PA were significantly higher in enteral nutrition group than those in common diet group(P0.01).The incidence rate of complication was higher in common diet group than that of enteral nutrition group(P0.01).Conclusion:The early enteral nutrition support might improve the nutritional condition of critically ill patients,reduce the incidence rate of complication,and promote the prognosis.
