| Popis: | This retrospective study examined the tolerance of enteral nutrition in 32 of 67 consecutive, neurosurgical patients placed into pentobarbital-induced coma for intractable intracranial hypertension. Patients who had received at least 4 days of enteral nutrition were included. Patients with 500 ml watery stool for 2 days, abdominal distention, or duodenal-gastric reflux) was observed in 3 of 32 patients. The patients received daily, on average, 92% ± 24% calories of their measured energy expenditure. This study demonstrates that patients placed into barbiturate coma can be successfully fed by the enteral route. |
