title: [Clinical observation of early enteral nutrition support for post-laryngectomy patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare the postoperative nutritional status and the incidence of postoperative infection between post-laryngectomy patients with early eternal nutrition and those with normal liquid diet.
  
  
  METHODS
  The observational group were given eternal nutrition while the control group were given normal liquid diet. Nutrition indicators (total protein, albumin, globulin, prealbumin, hemoglobin, body weight) and immune parameters (lymphocyte count) were measured at preoperative day 3 and postoperative day 3, 7 and 10. The incidence of complications and postoperative hospitalization days were compared and analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Compared with the control group, the total protein, albumin and globulin of observational group had no statistic significance at postoperative day 3, the total protein, albumin,globulin of observational group were higher (P<0. 05) at postoperative day 7 and 10: The body weight had no satisic significance at postoperative day 3 and 7, while observation group higher at postoperative day 10, while the hemoglobin of observational group had no statistic significance: The prealbumin and lymphocyte count had no statistic significance. The postoperative hospitalization days of the observational group was lower (P<0. 05) than the control group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The early eternal nutrition for post-laryngectomy patients are conducive to improve of nutritional status and reduce the rate of post-operative complications.
