Clinical evaluation of intravenous hyperalimentation for patients in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery

Abstract

Clinical significances of intravenous hyperalimentation (IVH) were evaluated on 10 patients, who suffered from terminal stage of oral carcinoma or radiation stomatitis, or who need nutritional management before and after surgical operation.
Clinical status, weight gain, and biochemical tests before and after IVH method application were compared.
The results have comfirmed that IVH was one of the very effective and significant methods for general nutritional management of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
