Abstract: Objective To research the effects of parenteral nutrition(PN)with high branchedchain amino acid(BCAA)content for critically ill patients in general ICU.Methods A total of60 patientsfrom the general ICU were randomly divided into the control group(30 cases)and treatment group(30 cases).The control group was given PN with balanced amino acids,while the treatment group received PNwith high content of BCAA.Therapeutic outcomes and the blood parameters were measured betweengroups.Results Total protein (TP),albumin (ALB),prealbumin (PA),arm muscle circumference(AMC)and arm circumference(MAC)of the treatment group increased significantly(P <0.05).In thecontrol group,the change of TP,ALB and PA after 7 days was statistically significant(P <0.05).Compared to the control group,the improvement of parameters in the treatment group was more obvious.Conclusion For patients in general ICU,parenteral nutrition with high BCAA content is able to provide effective nutritional support without relative sideeffects.
