ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of glutamine on parenteral alimentation in patients with severe craniocerebral injury in ICU. Methods 120 patients with severe brain injury in our hospital from November 2013 to November 2014 were selected as the research object.According to the random number table method, the 120 patients were divided into experimental group and control group, 60 cases in each group.The patients in the experimental group received glutamine parenteral nutrition support, while the control group received conventional parenteral nutritional support.The serum total protein, albumin, the complications and malnutrition-inflammation score(MIS) scores of the two groups were compared.Results The serum total protein and serum albumin levels of the experimental group post-treatment were significant higher than those in the control group (P<0.001).The complication rate in the experimental group was 15.0%, significantly lower than the control group of 55.0%(χ2 =21.099,P<0.001).The patients of normal MIS score in the experimental group were obviously superior to the control group ( 70.0% vs.33.3%, χ2 =16.151, P <0.001 ). Conclusion Adding glutamine to parenteral nutrition support therapy in the treatment of patients with severe craniocerebral injury can effectively improve the nutritional status after operation and strengthen nutrition support.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of enteral nutrition on patients with COPD during acute exacerbation stage. Methods Subjects hospitalized for an acute exacerbation of COPD (n=58) were assigned into two groups: enteral nutrition group (n=33) or parenteral nutrition group (n=25). The blood indexes of nutrition at day 5 and day 10,the incidence of complication and the mortality were observed. Results Less decrease of serum proteins was detected in the enteral nutrition group as compared with that in the parenteral alimentation group (day 5 P
