title: [Protein enpit in feeding of patients after surgery on the stomach].
abstract: Thirty-six patients operated on for peptic ulcer or pyloric stenosis received protein or low-lactose enpit via a probe in the early postoperative period. Twenty-four patients responded well to the intraintestinal nutrition, 6 patients satisfactorily, while the remaining 6 manifested dyspeptic disorders because of dynamic intestinal obstruction. In the control group (given beef-extract broth or decoction of dried apricots), 2 of the 13 subjects had phenomena of intestinal paresis. The nitrogenous balance in the patients given enpits was close to the state of equilibrium, whereas in the controls it was markedly negative. Enpit was found to be assimilable up to 92-95%. The authors discuss the importance of the level of protein and energy supply for reparative processes in the early postoperative period, the quality of the protein and specificity of caseins.
