In the case of post-operated nutritional maintenance in oral and maxillofacial region, enteral tube nutrition (T-330) was applied for a week from the day after operation. Administered cases were 6 cases for mandibular/maxillary bone fracture, 2 cases for mandibular protrusion and 1 case for temporomandibular joint ankylosis.
The results were as follows :
1. If slight side effects were included, side effects such as loose feces (2 cases), diarrhea (3 cases), abdomen inflation (2 cases), nausea (3 cases) and vomiting (1 case) were confirmed during the administration week. But, symptoms in each case were so slight that neither reduction in amount of administration nor interruption was performed.
2. In the case with the side effects of loose feces or diarrhea, a large quanity of total dosage and high concentration were given at the beginning of administration of T-330.
3. Under the unstable condition with injury and operation, a sufficient and balanced nutritional supply was realized by T-330 without remarkable side effects.
4. The results of general clinical examination were normal after one week of administration of T-330.
From the above-mentioned results, we concluded that T-330 could be suitable for nutritional maintenance of the patient operated for oral-maxillofacial diseases, esp., mandibular fracture.
