DELGADO DELGADO, Ronald Christian e LUQUE VASQUEZ V., Carlos E.. Does contribute early enteral nutrition to decrease the complications of radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer?. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2011, vol.31, n.2, pp.146-150. ISSN 1022-5129.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the administration of early enteral nutrition in postoperative gastrectomized patients due gastric cancer helps to reduce the frequency of postoperative complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A case-control study with 120 patients, 60 with postoperative complications (cases) and 60 patients without post operative complications (controls) matched for age and sex. RESULTS: The uni-variable analysis found that albumin (p=0.03), hematocrit (p=0.004), early enteral nutrition (p<0.01), stage of gastric cancer (p=0.013), behaved as variables associated with the development of postoperative complications. However, in this multivariable analysis, only early enteral nutrition (p=0.014), hematocrit (0.019) and pathological stage (0.013), showed statistically significant association. CONCLUSIONS: The early enteral nutrition administered by nasoenteral tube in the immediate postoperative period, with the hematocrit level and the anatomopathological disease stage is associated with statistically decreased postoperative complications in patients undergoing radical surgery for gastric cancer.
