ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of endoscopically nasojejunal feeding tube placement (ENFTP) for nutritional support in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Those SAP patients who treated with ENFTP (n= 47) or with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) (n=50) were retrospectively analyzed for laboratory parameters before and 1,2 and 4 weeks after nutrition support. Outcomes in the two groups were compared with respect to complications,mortality, duration of feeding, feeding costs,mechanical ventilation time and length of ICU or hospital stay. Results Four weeks after nutrition sypport, the hemoglobin and albumin were increased in ENFTP group as compared to TPN groups (P < 0. 05), while the blood sugar was decreased significant in ENFTP group than in TPN group (P<0.05). The incidence of peripancreatic or biliary infection and catheter-related infection were lower in ENFTP group than in TPN group. Duration of feeding and hospital stay were shorter, and nutrition cost was lower in ENFTP group (P<0.05). In addition, the APACHE Ⅱ score was significantly improved in ENFTP group(P<0.05). Conclusion ENFTP seems to be safe and less expensive in treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis.
