Clinical study of early enteral nutrition on treatment of severe acute pancreatitis through nose-jejunum tube

Aim To investigate the role of early enteral nutrition on treatment of severe acute pancreatitis through nose-jejunum tube.Methods The data of 25 patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) in past three years were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into two groups: EN+PN group consisted of 12 patients receiving early enteral nutrition through nose-jejunum tube and parenteral nutrition therapy,and TPN group consisted of 13 patients receiving total parenteral nutrition therapy.The differentiation of the abdominal distension relief time,the serum amylase recovery time,the length of hospital stay,the incidence of complication and the infection rate were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with TPN group,there was a highly significant reduction in the abdominal distension relief time,the serum amylase recovery time,the length of hospital stay,the incidence of complication and the infection rate in EN+PN group(P0.05).Conclusion The early EN+PN on treatment of severe acute pancreatitis through nose-jejunum tube is safe,effective and worthy to be popularized,which can ameliorate body state.
