Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the effect of early enteral nutrition(EEN) on gastric acid secretion in patients with severe brain injury.Methods: 168 patients with severe brain injury(GCS≤8)were divided randomly into two groups.84 patients were given EEN by naso-gastric tube as EEN group and 84 patients were treated with parenteral nutrition(PN)as PN group.Gastric juice pH and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage were monitored on admission,the 3rd,5th and 7th day after admission.Results: The gastric juice pH was significantly lowered in EEN group.Conclusion: EEN could neutralize gastric acid and increase the gastric juice pH in patients with severe brain injury.
