Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect the clinical pathway of enteral nutrition on nutritional status in patients with severe head injury.
Methods: 120 cases of patients with severe head injury were randomly divided into control and experimental groups, each group has 60 people. The control group accepted enteral nutrition with traditional model, the experimental group accepted clinical pathway of enteral nutrition. The differences of albumin, hemoglobin, transferrin and Glasgow coma score in two groups were compared.
Results: 116 patients completed the study. On day 21, the albumin and transferrin in study group were significantly higher than control group (P = 0.006, 0.026); the Glasgow Coma Score in two groups were no difference (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: the application of clinical pathway of enteral nutrition in patients with severe head injury standardized the method and nursing technology of enteral nutrition. The clinical pathway of enteral nutrition is better than the traditional mode of enteral nutrition and It is worth learning and promotion.
