Evaluation criteria were: biochemical indicators, postoperative progress and the time of stay in ICU.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: as a result of the study significant catabolic changes in the 1st group of patients (with late start of enteral feeding) were identified. The postoperative period progress was more favorable, the time of stay in ICU was shorter in the 2nd group.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Early enteral feeding decreases the risk of development of postoperative respiratory complications, the frequency of antibacterial therapy changes, the albumin administration and reduces the activation time after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.</p&gt;}, number={3 (29)}, journal={Ukrainian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery}, author={Yakimishen, E. and Boyko, S. and Khemio Arnes, S. and Moshkivska, L. and Truba, Y. and Lazoryshynetz, V.}, year={2017}, month={Dec.}, pages={96-99} }
