The differences of albumin, hemoglobin, transferrin and Glasgow coma score in two groups were compared. Results: 116 patients completed the study. On day 21, the albumin and transferrin in study group were significantly higher than control group (P=0.006, 0.026); the Glasgow coma score in two groups were no difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: The application of clinical pathway of enteral nutrition in patients with severe head injury standardized the method and nursing technology of enteral nutrition.
