Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Early nasojejunal feeding in acute pancreatitis is associated with a lower complication rate.
We investigated the effect of early jejunal feeding on septic complications and mortality rate in patients with acute pancreatitis in a two-phase, prospective, controlled study. ⋯ We believe that the combination of early enteral nutrition and selective, adequate antibiotic prophylaxis may prevent multiple organ failure in patients with acute pancreatitis.
