Nursing Observation of Nutritional Support of 70 Cases after Emergency Surgery of Severe Traumatic Head Injury

Objective To observe the clinical effects of early enteral nutritional support in patients with severe traumatic head injury.Methods 70 comatose patients with severe traumatic head injury were randomly divided into early enteral nutrition group(observation group) 36 cases and conventional nutrition group(control group) 34 cases,the nutritional indicators in the two groups before and after treatment and between the two groups were compared.Results After 2 weeks for treatment,serum total protein(TP),serum albumin(ALB),prealbumin(PALB) in the observation group and control group were higher than those of admission,the difference was statistically significant(P 0.05).Between the two groups TP,ALB,PALB improvements after treatment in the observation group were better than those of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P 0.05).Complication rate of the control group was higher than enteral nutrition group(P 0.05).Conclusion Early enteral nutritional support can improve the nutritional status in patients with severe traumatic brain injury,reduce complications,improve the prognosis and promote the recovery.
