Objective.
This study aimed to compare the physical and mental states and the clinical effects of parenteral nutrition combined with enteral nutrition (PN+EN), total enteral nutrition (TEN), and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) after surgery in patients with maxillofacial malignant tumors.
Methods.
A total of 112 patients were divided into three groups, with 58, 33, and 21 patients in the PN+EN, TPN, and TEN groups, respectively.
The psychological survey contained the Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FRS-R), visual analog scale (VAS), numerical rating scale (NRS), Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA), and short-form 36 health survey questionnaire (SF-36).
Spirit symptoms, length of hospital stay, nutritional assessments, and related biochemical indices were recorded and compared.
Results.
The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms of anxiety and dysphoria were least frequently identified in the TPN group.
The levels of lymphocytes, hemoglobin (HB), albumin (ALB), and prealbumin (PA) were significantly higher in the PE+EN group, whereas white blood cell count, neutrophil count, HB, PA, and ALB were significantly lower in the TPN group.
Better psychological scores were observed in the TPN group.
The PE+EN group had a shorter length of stay and higher SGA categories.
Potassium, sodium, and chlorine levels were significantly lower in the TEN group (all P < 0.05).
Conclusions.
As an auxiliary method, TCM symptoms can help to identify spirit disequilibrium earlier and are associated with blood indices.
Without the consideration of cost and long length of hospital stay, patients in the TPN group had the best mental status, with PN+EN therapy being an alternative.
