Objective  To discuss the feasibility and safety of early enteral nutrition (EN) on treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and its influence.
Methods  The advancement about application of early EN on treatment of SAP in recent years were reviewed.
Results  In patients with SAP, early EN via catheter placed in the jejunum could protect the integrity of intestinal barrier and reduce infectious complications. But no consensus had been reached about the starting time, ingredient and infusion mode yet.
Conclusion  Early EN may have positive effects on treatment of SAP, but further researches are still needed.
