EVALUATING THE RESULTS OF EARLY ENTERAL NUTRITION BY PROVIDING 50% OF THE ENERGY DEMAND ON THE FIRST DAY AND REACHING 100% FROM THE 4TH DAY IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE BRAIN INJURY IN THE DEPARTMENT OF NEUROLOGY AND NEURO INTENSIVE CARE, VIET DUC HOSPITAL

Abstract
We conducted a study with the aim of evaluating the results of early enteral nutrition by providing 50% of the energy requirement on the first day in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. This is a study using a cross-sectional descriptive method, performed on 60 patients in the Department of Internal Medicine—Neurological Resuscitation at Viet Duc Hospital. The study results showed that 33 patients with severe traumatic brain injury who received early enteral nutrition by providing 50% of their energy needs on the first day and reaching 100% on the fourth day had the increase in nutritive index and immune index after 12 days of care. This finding is similar to the results of the group that had been provided 80% of the energy needs on the first day and reached 100% on the second day. Thus, patients with severe traumatic brain injury may only need to provide 50% of their energy needs on the first day and reach 100% on the fourth day
