Methods: 60 cases of aged patients with mechanical ventilation were randomly divided to TEN group and TPN group.All patients accepted the same amount of calorie and nitrogen. Results: with regard to albumin and hemoglobin levels and nitrogen equilibrium TEN group was superior to parenteral nutrition group ( P 0.05). Conclusions: Enteral nutrition can reduce mechanical ventilation time and lower treatment cost in aged patients.
