Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Evaluation of early enteral feeding through nasogastric and nasojejunal tube in severe acute pancreatitis: a noninferiority randomized controlled trial.
This study aimed to determine the noninferiority of early enteral feeding through nasogastric (NG) compared to nasojejunal (NJ) route on infectious complications in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). ⋯ Early enteral feeding through NG was not inferior to NJ in patients with SAP. Infectious complications were within the noninferiority limit. Pain in refeeding, intestinal permeability, and endotoxemia were comparable in both groups.
