Compared the nutritional index, time of mechanical ventilation and compared the complications such as windy,intestine paralysis, alimentary tract heorrhage, second heavy infection, hypohepatia and high blood glucose.Results The nutritional index between treatment group and control group had no statistical difference,but the time of mechanical ventilation and the ratio of the complications in control group were higher than that in-treatment group (P < 0.01). Conclusion EEN and PN can improve nutritional condition, have less complieations, promoting the pa-tient recovers form illness.
