TO ASSESS A STUDY ON EARLY ENTERAL FEEDING IN CASES OF INTESTINAL ANASTOMOSIS

Abstract

Introduction: This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of early enteral feeding in patients undergoing intestinal anastomosis, aiming to optimize postoperative care and provide clear guidelines for clinicians. It aims to improve patient outcomes, reduce complications, and optimize recovery for gastrointestinal surgery patients. Aims: The study investigates the impact of early enteral feeding on clinical outcomes, recovery metrics, nutritional status, and immunological responses in patients undergoing intestinal anastomosis. Methodology: The study assessed the effect of early enteral feeding on adult patients undergoing intestinal anastomosis, excluding those with pre-existing conditions, hemodynamic instability, severe malnutrition, or postoperative mechanical ventilation. Results: Early enteral feeding improves postoperative recovery, patient comfort, and pain scores, reducing hospital stays and improving postoperative rehabilitation timelines, according to a study comparing conventional and early methods. Discussion: A study comparing early enteral feeding (EEF) and conventional feeding methods found EEF improves patient outcomes and reduces complications in patients undergoing intestinal anastomosis. EEF patients experienced faster recovery, reduced complications, and shorter hospital stays. Conclusion: Early enteral feeding after intestinal anastomosis improves patient recovery, reduces postoperative complications, and reduces hospitalization durations, highlighting its economic and healthcare resource utilization advantages.
