Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of nasointestinal tube in patients receiving mechanical ventilation.Methods Patients receiving mechanical ventilation were randomLy divided into two groups.The two groups were isocaloric and isonitrogen.The study group used nasointestinal tube feeding.The control group used nasogastric tube feeding.Nutrition status,ventilator days,aspiration incidence and pneumonia incidence were measured.Results 178 patients receiving me- chanical ventilation were divided into two groups.The study group showed reduction in aspiration incidence and pneumoni- a incidence.Other measurements showed no significant difference.Conclusion Nasointestinal tube feeding could reduce aspiration and pneumonia incidence in patients receiving mechanical ventilation.
