Nutritional support with nasogastric feeding tube after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in hepatic carcinomas / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss interventional procedures before feeding tube placed in the DSA guidance,influence postoperative enteral nutrition support for the presence of nutritional risk of clinical outcomes in elderly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods 33 patients acquired with interventional therapy of hepatic carcinoma were selected as the study group.All of patients un-derwent preoperatively the nutritional risk screening and insertion of nasogastric feeding tube under DSA.Enteral nutritional support by the nasogastric feeding tube was used after interventional therapy.33 similar patients underwent parenteral nutritional support af-ter international therapy were selected as the control group.The change of the nutritional indexes,the incidence of the systemic in-flammatory response syndrome,the incidence of infection,and the length of hospital stay after operation were compared between the two groups.Results There were no significant differences in the plasma albumin levels and body weight changes compared between the two groups (P >0.05).However,the incidence of infection and the length of hospital stay were lower significantly in the study group than in the control group (P >0.05).Conclusion The nutritional risk screening before interventional treatment is necessary for the elder patients with hepatic carcinoma.The patients with nutritional risk can be placed the nasogastric feeding tube preopera-tively under DSA,and perform combined nutritional support to promote the recovery of nutritional state after operation.
