Conditions

Hyperglycaemia (Non Diabetic), Enteral Feeding Intolerance, Stroke

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a specific nutritional formula for diabetics on the development of hyperglycemia in patients with recent non-diabetic stroke who require admission and enteral nutritional support by nasogastric tube. As well as the effect on metabolic control, development of comorbidities, hospital stay, readmissions, mortality and tolerance of the formula under study.

Detailed description

MAIN GOAL: To evaluate the effect on the development of hyperglycemia diagnosed as glycemia\> 126 mg / dl on an empty stomach or\> 150 mg / dl during the infusion of enteral nutrition determined by capillary glycemia during the admission of a specific formula in patients with a first episode of ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic entry into the non-diabetic HCUV stroke unit requiring enteral nutrition by nasogastric tube.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTDiabetes-Specific enteral formula

Complete enteral formula normocaloric hyperproteic with fiber (80% SOLUBLE)

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTStandard formula

Complete enteral formula normocaloric hormoproteic without fiber

Intervention model description

Comparison of two formulas of enteral nutrition (diabetes-specific enteral formula (lower glycemic index and presence of soluble and insoluble fiber) compared to an standard formula (isocaloric and isonitrogenated formula without fiber)) in patients without diabetes mellitus admitted due to stroke and with indication of nutritional support by nasogastric tube
