Abstract:
Objective To investigate the complications of different enteral nutrition in patients after surgery for massive cerebellar infarction,so as to guide rational application of enteral nutrition in patients.Methods Forty-nine patients with massive cerebellar infarction were divided into three groups randomly:conventional nasogastric tube feeding group (group A,n =12),nasogastric tube feeding plus gastric motor drug group (group B,n =18),and nasojejunal tube feeding group (group C,n =19).The incidences of diarrhea,reflux,aspiration,upper gastrointestinal bleeding and aspiration pneumonia within 3 weeks after initiation of enteral nutrition were observed and compared among the groups.Results The incidence of diarrhea showed no statistically significant difference among the 3 groups (x2 =0.092,P =0.955).Compared with group A,the incidences of reflux,aspiration and aspirafion pneumonia were significantly lower in group B and group C (P ＜ 0.05),and lower in group C compared with group B (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group C,the incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding was significantly lower in group C than in group A and group B (x22 =4.748,P2 =0.029;x23 =4.284,P3 =0.038),but the difference between group A and group B was not significant (x21 =0.000,P1 =1.000).Conclusions Because of the unique pathophysiological features in patients after surgery for massive cerebellar infarction,early enteral nutrition by conventional nasogastric tube feeding may be inappropriate.Nasogastric tube feeding plus gastric motor drug may be applied in mild case with short course of disease.Nasojejunal tube feeding may be the approach of choice for enteral nutrition in critical patients with massive cerebellar infarction for its association with lower incidence of complications.
