本研究中,免疫营养组和普通营养组的体重、白蛋白差异无显著性,但在术后第8天,两组的上述指标高于对照组,差异有显著性(P<0.05)。免疫营养组的前白蛋白(PA)在术后第8天也高于其余两组(P<0.05,P<0.01),说明肠内营养支持可明显改善手术创伤后机体的营养状态。
免疫营养组患者的术后并发症总发生率和感染性并发症发生率在3组中是最低的(P<0.05),平均住院天数也短于对照组和普通营养组(P<0.05),表明肠内免疫营养可改善预后,促进病人恢复。
综上所述,围手术期肠内免疫营养支持可在术后早期提高胃肠道恶性肿瘤病人的免疫功能,改善营养状况,减轻术后创伤的应激反应程度,降低术后并发症和感染性并发症的发生率,并能缩短平均住院时间,具有临床可行性。
