Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of enteral nutrition feeding procedure in ICU in severe patients in order to reduce complications and promote rehabilitation of patients. Methods A total of 184 severe patients admitted to ICU from January to October 2018 were selected as the subjects of the study. 90 patients admitted to the family from January to May were the control group, and 94 patients admitted to the family from June to October were the observation group. The control group adopted routine nutritional support and nursing, and the observation group carried out intensive enteral nutrition feeding process. The nutritional status, immunity, gastrointestinal dysfunction, complications of nosocomial infection and outcome of patients in two groups were compared between the two groups. Results The nutritional indicators of hemoglobin, serum total protein and serum albumin after a week of treatment were (119.73 ± 9.96), (58.88 ± 2.65), (29.09 ± 1.42) g/L, immunization indicators IgA, IgG, IgM were (2.56±0.10), (2.98±0.36), (1.65±0.15) g/L in the observation group. The control groups were (108.02±9.21), (51.90±2.74), (27.80±1.59), (2.09±0.18), (2.01±0.24), (1.41±0.13)g/L, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=5.81-22.48, P<0.01). The incidence of gastrointestinal dysfunction (gastric retention, diarrhea) in the observation group were 11.70%(11/94), 8.51%(8/94), the incidence of nosocomial infections (ventilator associated pneumonia, catheter related blood stream infection, catheter-associated urinary tract infections) were 6.12‰(5/817), 1.53‰(1/650), 0, the outcome indicators of patients (nutritional standard time, ICU hospitalization time, and mortality rate) were (6.12±1.03) d, (10.98±2.03) d, 13.82%(13/94), all were lower than the control group′s 23.33%(21/90), 20.00%(18/90), 13.06‰(11/842), 11.28‰(8/709), 2.88 ‰(2/694), (7.98 ± 1.54) d, (12.21 ± 1.87) d, 26.67%(24/90), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.33-8.22, t=6.19, 2.26, P<0.05). Conclusions The procedure of enteral nutrition feeding in patients with severe illness can effectively reduce enteral nutrition complications and enable patients to obtain effective nutrition early.
