RESUMO
Objectives:To observe the relationship between 2 different ways of nasal tube nutrition supplement patterns and clinical patients'endurance and complication. Methods:Self contrast study was used in 8 cases of old patients supplied with nasal tube nutrition for 4 months(perfusion and dripping pattern 2 months each). Biochemical indices and enteric complications before and after nasal tube nutrition were observed. Results:Slowly dripping supplement pattern greatly decreased the incidence of inhalation pneumonia and other complications related with gastro enteric nutrition supplement,such as diarrhea,bloating,vomits and etc.The nutritional status was obviously improved when the continuous dripping supplement pattern was used. Conclusions:Continuous dripping supplement pattern is better than perfusion supplement pattern.
