Enteral Nutrition

Brief summary

To prove that early enteral nutrition after pancreaticoduodenal operation is of great significance to improve the immune response, reduce the incidence of postoperative infection and other related complications, and shorten the length of hospital stay

Detailed description

Arm A: Total parenteral nutrition. TPN also started from POD 1 and was delivered through a central venous catheter. Target energy of 1.5 amino acids/kg/day reached 30 kcal/kg/day. Arm B: NJEEN was defined as providing at least 50% of the nutritional requirements through the nasojejunal tube prior to the 5th day after surgery (POD) and having no parenteral nutrition for 72 h or more.
