Postoperative Strengthen Nursing for Gastric Cancer Patients with Early Enteral Nutrition

Objective: To discuss the effects of the early enteral nutrition on the improvement of nutritional status for patients with gastrectomy in order to reduce the incidence of nutrition-related complications. Methods: 23 patients with early enteral nutrition who undergoing the gastrectomy in our hospital were selected and divided into two groups on the basis of different nursing methods. Then the living status, the postoperative complications and the evacuation time of patients in the two groups were observed and compared. Results:The results showed that the time of flatus after surgery with enteral nutrition was 53±7.4 h, and the weight was up to 1.2 ± 0.4 kg. The duration of parenteral nutrition was significantly shorter without enteral nutrition related complications. Conclusions: It is demonstrated that the strengthen nursing with early enteral nutrition could improve the nutritional status of patients with gastric cancer which would reduce the malnutrition related complications and release the financial burden as well.
