To explore the application of nursing risk management in enteral nutrition support for postoperative patients with severe craniocerebral injuries. Methods:A total of 40 patients with severe craniocerebral injuries treated at the Department of Critical Care Medicine, Qingyun Branch of Chengdu Second People's Hospital in Sichuan Province from January 2023 to December 2024 were selected as subjects. The patients were randomly divided into a control group (20 cases) and an observation group (20 cases). The control group received routine enteral nutrition care during hospitalization, while the observation group received enteral nutrition support under nursing risk management. The effectiveness of enteral nutrition, complication rates, ICU length of stay, and prognosis were compared between the two groups. Results: The observation group demonstrated superior enteral nutrition outcomes (P<0.05) and lower complication rates (P<0.05) than the control group, with statistically significant differences. ICU length of stay and total hospitalization duration showed marked superiority in the observation group (P<0.05), also demonstrating statistical significance. Conclusion: The application of nursing risk management in enteral nutrition support for postoperative patients with severe craniocerebral injuries can improve nutritional status, reduce complication rates, shorten ICU and total hospitalization durations, enhance prognosis, and lower mortality rates.
