“…2 Enteral nutrition rather than parenteral nutrition is generally the preferred means of nutritional support. 9 However, whatever the method chosen, it has been emphasized that nutritional support should be started for TBI patients as soon as possible after the trauma, and full support should be reached by the end of the first week if possible. 10 Enteral nutrition may be instituted via many routes such as nasogastric and nasoenteral tubes or via gastrostomy or jejunostomy.…”

“…7 Recent studies have shown enteral nutrition during stress to be beneficial for preserving intestinal absorption. 8 In the present case, an X-ray study after the first operation showed diffuse stenosis of the remnant ileum, thus suggesting the intestinal function to possibly be impaired. We treated the remnant ileum with enteral nutrition after the second operation until the final operation to correct the intestinal function.…”

Segmental Intestinal Preservation and Enteral Nutrition Help to Maintain the Intestinal Function After a Massive Intestinal Resection: Report of a Case

et al. 2001

We report a case in which both segmental intestinal preservation and enteral nutrition helped to maintain the intestinal function after a massive bowel resection for superior mesenteric artery (SMA) thrombosis. A 53-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital with acute abdomen. Extensive necrosis of the small intestine was found during the operation; however, a loop of the ileum appeared to be viable. A massive resection of the small intestine which preserved a 50-cm length of the viable ileum loop was thus performed. However, diffuse stenosis of the remaining ileum was found after surgery. An end-to-end anastomosis of the distal end of the preserved ileum loop and the terminal ileum was made in the second operation, and enteral nutrition was infused to improve the remnant intestinal function. A jejunoileostomy was performed in the final operation. An X-ray study after the final operation showed the stenosis of the remaining ileum to have improved. The patient therefore did not need any nutritional support after being discharged.

“…In several studies enteral and parenteral feeding have been compared. The obtained results suggest that early enteral feeding is more advantagous for patients with head injury, 6,7 and that parenteral nutrition is to be considered as adjuvant therapy.…”

Patients with head injury suffering from severe malnutrition exhibit serious complications at the time of admission as well as during rehabilitation treatment. The patients were very difficult to mobilize. The length of stay at the rehabilitation unit was 28 days longer when complicated by malnutrition, than head injuries showing normal nutritional status. These findings underline the importance of adequate nutrition in patients with head injury in both the acute ward and in the rehabilitation unit.
