Clinical observation on severe acute stroke with early enteral nutritional support

Objective To investigate the effect of early enteral nutritional support on prognosis in patients with severe acute stroke.Methods 60 cases of severe acute stroke were divided into nutrition-supported group(30 cases)and control group(30 cases)randomly.All patients were based on conventional therapy,nutrition-supported group received LiShiKang proportional nutrition diet and control group received common liquid diet by nasal feeding 3 weeks.The levels of haemoglobin,serum albumin,triacylglycerol,the incidence rates of infective complications and the nervous functional deficiency degree were assessed at the 1st d,the 10th d and the 21st d after admission.Results The nutrition standards in both groups were descent,and there were significantly lower in the control group than those in the nutrition-supported group(P0.05).The incidence rates of infective complications in the control group were obviously higher than those in the nutrition-supported group.There was a significant difference in the nervous functional deficiency degree between nutrition-supported group and control group(P0.05).Conclusion Early enteral nutritional support can significantly improve nutritional status and decrease the incidence rates of infective complications in patients with severe acute stroke,and helpful for clinical prognosis.
