Objectives:To investigate the nutrition support in patients with severe neurosurgical disease. Methods:Enteral nutrition(EN) was used in early phase(48～72 h, postoperatively or after trauma) in 28 cases with severe neurosurgical disease.Parenteral nutrition was adopted when EN was insufficient.Dose of glucose was limited at early period(acute phase,5～7 days after occurrence). Results:23 cases were cured and 5 cases died.During the period of EN,glucose and lipid metabolic abnormality or liver enzyme change were not found.There was no complication such as severe diarrhea,belly bulge.All patients who were on respiration machine were all taken off successfully. Conclusions:Early EN can improve the rate of cure and reduce the complication and mortality.
