Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of enteral nutrition (EN) on patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:96 cases of acute exacerbation of COPD patients admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to December 2016 were randomly divided into observation group (48 cases) and control group (normal diet,48 cases).The patients in two groups were given anti-infection and other symptomatic treatments equally.The serum protein levels and pulmonary function in the two groups were compared after 2 weeks.Furthermore,antibiotic use durations,hospitalization days and the re-admission rates within 3 months were observed and compared between two groups.Results:The serum albumin and pre-albumin levels,FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in the observation group were significantly elevated in comparison with those in the control group.And the antibiotic use durations,hospitalization days and the re-admission rates within 3 months remarkably decreased in the observation group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Enteral nutrition could improve the nutritional status and pulmonary function in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD,shortening the length of hospital stay and the durations of antibiotic use and reducing the rates of re-admission.Enteral nutrition may be worth applying widely in clinical COPD patients in future.
