Abstract
Objective To investigate the significance of preoperative and postoperative enteral nutrition support in gastric cancer patients with nutritional risk.Methods The clinical data of 72 gastric cancer patients with nutritional risk admitted in our department were analyzed.All the patients were randomly allocated into two groups.36 patients in the control group received only intravenous nutrition postoperatively (PN group).36 patients in the treatment group received enteral nutrition support from the fifth day before operation to eighth day after operation (EN group).The body weight,total protein,albumin,transferrin and prealbumin were measured on the fifth day before operation,the operation morning,the first day and the eighth day after operation.Results On the operation morning,the transferrin and prealbumin of the EN group were higher than those in PN group significantly(P ＜0.05).In the eighth day after operation.the treatment group patients showed significant increase in the body weight,total protein,albumin,transferrin and prealbumin compared with those in the control group(P ＜ 0.05).On the operation morning,the transferrin and prealbmnin of EN group were increased significantly than on the fifth day before operation(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The preoperative and postoperative enteral nutritional support can improve the nutritlonal condition in the gastric cancer patients with nutritional risk.The preoperative enteral nutritional support can improve the patients' nutritlonal condition and reserves before operation,and reduce adverse reaction of enteral nutrition.
