Effect of early enteral nutrition support on nutritional status, GCS, and APACHE II in patients with severe cerebrovascular disease
Abstract
Objective \nTo investigate the effects of early enteral nutrition support on nutritional status, GCS, and APACHE II in patients with severe cerebrovascular diseases. \n \n \nMethods \nFrom February 2016 to December 2017, 86 patients with severe cerebrovascular diseases were divided into control group and experimental group with 43 cases in each group. The routine nasal feeding diet and early enteral nutrition support were used in the control group and the experimental group. The nutritional status, GCS score, and APACHE II score were compared between the two groups. \n \n \nResults \nThe levels of albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (Hb), serum total protein (TP), and prealbumin (PA) in the experimental group after the treatment were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0.05); the scores of GCS and APACHE II in the experimental group were significantly than those in the control group (P<0.05). \n \n \nConclusion \nThe application of early enteral nutrition support in patients with severe cerebrovascular diseases can provide sufficient nutritional support, improve the patients hypoproteinemia, enhance their immunity of the organism, and promote the prognosis and recovery of the patients. \n \n \nKey words: \nEarly enteral nutrition support;\xa0Severe cerebrovascular disease;\xa0Nutritional status;\xa0GCS;\xa0APACHE II
