# Impact of early enteral nutrition combined with fine nursing in patients with intracranial aneurysm undergoing minimally invasive surgery

## TL;DR

Early feeding and improved nursing help patients recover faster after brain aneurysm surgery.

## Contribution

Combining early enteral nutrition with enhanced nursing improves recovery outcomes in intracranial aneurysm surgery patients.

## Key findings

- Observation group patients mobilized earlier and had shorter hospital stays.
- Nutritional and immune markers improved significantly in the observation group.
- Nursing satisfaction and quality of life were higher in the enhanced care group.

## Abstract

Postoperative recovery in patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery for intracranial aneurysms is often hindered by delayed mobilization, inadequate nutritional support, and prolonged hospital stay. Conventional care using parenteral nutrition and standard nursing practices may not sufficiently address these issues. This study evaluated the combined effects of early enteral nutrition and enhanced nursing care on recovery outcomes.

A total of 138 patients were divided into a control group receiving standard nursing care and parenteral nutrition and an observation group receiving enhanced nursing care alongside early enteral nutrition. Recovery outcomes, including time to ambulation, gastrointestinal function recovery, hospital stay duration, pain levels, complication rates, nutritional and immune function, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction were assessed.

The observation group showed significantly earlier mobilization, faster gastrointestinal recovery, and shorter hospital stay than the control group. Pain levels and complication rates were lower, and nursing satisfaction was higher. Nutritional and immune markers and quality of life scores improved significantly in the observation group.

Early enteral nutrition combined with enhanced nursing care improves recovery, reduces complications, and enhances overall patient satisfaction, presenting an effective alternative to conventional care for patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm surgery.
