Application of different nasal feedings in enteral nutrition for elderly patients with severe brain hemorrhage / 现代临床护理

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of different nasal feedings in enteral nutrition for elderly patients with severe brain hemorrhage. Methods Eighty elderly patients with severe brain hemorrhage were assigned into the observation group and control group according to the odd and even numbers at admission with 40 in each group. The control group was treated with graded injection nasal feeding, and the observation group was treated with continuous infusion nasal feeding. The nutrition indicators and enteral nutrition complications were compared between the two groups. Result The nutrition indicators in the observation group were better than those in the control group and the rate of enteral nutrition complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Continuous infusion nasal feeding can improve the nutritional status of elderly patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage and effectively reduce the incidence of complications of enteral nutrition. So it is worthy of clinical application.
