Clinical analysis of early enteral nutrition support in patients with severe craniocerebral injury

Objective To investigate the curative effect of early enteral nutrition support in critically sick patients of severe craniocerebral injury.Methods Sixty-two severe craniocerebral injury patients who could not eat anything in NICU were randomly divided into enteral nutrition group and TPN group.The levels of nutritional status were measured during the period of nutrition support.Results After the second week of nutrition support,the levels of serum total protein(TP),albumin(ALB),prealbumin(PALB) were significantly higher in the two groups than those before the enteral nutrition support(P0.01).The levels of TP,ALB and PALB were significantly higher in enteral nutrition group than those in common diet group(P0.01).Conclusion The early enteral nutrition support may improve the nutritional condition of severe cranoicerebral injury patients,reduce the incidence rate of complication,and promote the prognosis.
