Objective To analyze the nursing effect of early enteral nutrition support in critically ill neurosurgical patients. Methods The subjects of this study were 68 critically ill neurosurgical patients admitted to our hospital from January 2024 to January 2025. They were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group using a random number table method, with 34 patients in each group. The conventional group received routine nutritional support and basic care, while the experimental group received early enteral nutrition support combined with targeted care. Compare the nutritional indicators and incidence of complications between two groups of patients after nursing care. Results Compared with the conventional group, the experimental group had significantly higher levels of serum albumin and hemoglobin (P<0.05); The incidence of complications was significantly low (P<0.05). Conclusion Early enteral nutrition support and targeted nursing in critically ill neurosurgical patients can effectively improve their nutritional status, reduce the incidence of complications, and are worthy of clinical promotion and application.
