Application of enteral nutrition sequential therapy in patients with severe cerebrovascular disease / 中华急诊医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the role of clinical application of enteral nutrition sequential therapy in early enteral nutrition support by comparison with enteral nutrition non-sequential therapy in critically ill patients with cerebrovascular diseases.Methods A total of 62 patients were randomly (random number) divided into sequential group and conventional (non-sequential) grouThe comparisons of tolerance for enteral nutrition support,levels of prealbumin,the mechanically ventilated time and mortality rate in 28-day between two groups were carried out.Results The tolerance of sequential group was superior to that of conventional group (P＜0.05).The higher level of prealbumin and the shorter mechanical ventilation time were observed in sequential group compared with conventional group (P＜0.01).Compared with conventional group,the patients in sequential group had lower mortality rate in 28 days (P＜0.05).Conclusions Sequential therapy is beneficial to the implementation of early enteral nutrition support in patients with severe cerebrovascular disease,reducing the nutritional adverse events,and improves the prognosis.
