Objective To study the preventive effects of prevention monitoring form for reducing enteral nutrition complications. Methods From January 2013 to December 2013, 58 patients were divided into control group which were used traditional nursing method. From January 2014 to December 2014, 61 cases were in intervention group undergoing prevention monitoring nursing method based on traditional nursing. We compared the differences between these two groups in body quality, C-reactive protein, albumin, prealbumin, complications and patient satisfaction before and after 10 d surgery. Results There were no differences between body quality, C-reactive protein, albumin, prealbumin in these two groups before surgery (P > 0. 05). Compared with the 10th day after surgery, there were significantly higher level of body quality, albumin, prealbumin in the intervention group than those of the control group (P<0. 05), while higher level C-reactive protein in the control group (P<0. 05). The incidences of abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, gastric retention, reflux, aspiration and aspiration pneumonia, the proportion of blocking pipe were lower in the intervention group than the control group. Patient′s satisfaction rates were 98. 4% and 81. 0% in the intervention group and control group (P<0. 05). Conclusions Prevention monitoring form can decrease the rate of enteral nutrition complications, and improve nutrition, biochemical indexes and patients satisfaction.
