A comparative study of outcome in early versus late enteral feeding in patients of acute pancreatitis
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
This study was carried out in 50 patients of civil hospital Ahmedabad, tertiary care center to evaluate acute pancreatitis and its outcome of early feeding versus late feeding. Enteral nutrition (EN) is effective, easy to provide, cheaper and associated with fewer complications in comparison with parenteral nutrition in severe acute pancreatitis. The latest meta-analyses suggest that enteral nutrition significantly reduces the mortality rate of severe acute pancreatitis compared to parenteral feeding. To maintain gut barrier function and prevent early bacterial translocation, enteral feeding should be commenced within the first 24 hours of hospital admission.
