Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical application of early postoperative enteral nutrition in patients undergoing colon cancer operation.Methods 90 patients suffering from colon cancer were randomly divided into the enteral nutrition group,indwelling stomach tube group and the control group.The control group was given conventional treatment and the indwelling gastric tube group was received postoperative intermittent clamping of stomach tube and enteral nutrition.Moreover,patients in the enteral nutrition group were pulled out the tube on the first postoperative day while giving enteral nutrition.All patients were observed for exhaust defecation time,length of hospital stay postoperative and nutrition indicators.Results Exhaust defecation time,length of hospital stay postoperative had significant difference among three groups.Indwelling stomach tube group set minimum length of stay and first passage of flatus and defecation in the three groups [the enteral nutrition group:(50.07±11.59) h,(76.75±27.37) h,(10.1 1±1.57) d,the control group:(62.03±12.31) h,(90.67±25.64) h,(11.80±1.83) d,indwelling stomach tube group:(43.53±11.94) h,(61.17± 22.67) h,(8.70±1.53) d (P ＜ 0.05)].The levels of hemoglobin and plasma albumin one week after operation were statistically lower than pre-operation,while that the level of these nutrition indicators were higher in indwelling stomach tube group compare to control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The same result was observed between enteral nutrition group and control group.Whereas,the change of nutrition indicators between the enteral nutrition group and the control group was not statistical significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Indwelling stomach tube combined with enteral nutrition is a reasonable choice for patients after colonic cancer surgery.
