Clinical study of early enteral nutrition support in postoperative patients with malignant obstructive jaundice / 肠外与肠内营养

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the effect and clinical significance of early enteral nutrition in postoperative patients with malignant obstructive jaundice. Methods: Thirty patients with malignant obstructive jaundice were randomized into postoperative early enteral nutrition (EN) group and parenteral nutrition (PN) group. Results: The body weight and level of prealbumin, albumin, transferrin decreased significantly after operation in both group, and there was no significant difference between two groups. Nitrogen balance was positive in the EN group, but it was negative in the PN group. EN had less influence on hepatic enzymes than PN. The economic consumption in EN group was less than that in PN group. Conclusions: Compared with PN, early EN support can ameliorate malnutrition state in postoperative patients with malignant obstructive jaundice more safely, effectively and economically.
