[Enteral nutrition in the critical neurosurgical patient. Effectiveness and tolerance of a prepared liquid diet].
The response of prealbumin was studied in 15 neurosurgical patients following 7 days of enteral nutrition by Nutrisond. Baseline values were compared to day 4 and 7 to assess the degree of change. The prealbumin of day 7 versus baseline value showed a significant increase in the mean serum concentration (16.49 +/- 4.0 vs 19.75 +/- 4.2 mg %). All the patients tolerate well the enteral nutrition with Nutrisond.
