ObjectiveTo evaluate the enteral nutritional schemes for patients with acute cerebral infarction in effectiveness and economy. Methods117 acute cerebral infarction patients with dysphagia were divided into 3 groups. Homogenized diet, sequential intestinal nutrition and intestinal integral protein were provided respectively for these groups by nasogastric tube feeding. The clinical effectiveness was evaluated and the cost-effectiveness analysis was done pharmacoeconomically 14 d later. ResultsThe effective rates of these schemes were 42.5%, 75% and 49%, while the cost-effectiveness ratios were 9.84, 29.37, 42.16 respectively. ConclusionFor the acute cerebral infarction patients with dysphagia, the scheme of sequential intestinal nutrition is most effective, and the homogenize diet is most economical.
