Clinical Application of Comprehensive Intervention for PED Based on Neuroregulatory Mechanism

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Post-extubation Dysphagia
Interventions
Other: Comprehensive Intervention or Comprehensive Intervention Combined with Electrical vagus nerve stimulation
Registration Number
NCT06386159
Lead Sponsor
Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University
Brief Summary

This study aims to establish a practical comprehensive intervention program for dysphagia after extubation in adult ICU patients based on the best evidence of its assessment and intervention, through expert panel discussion and Delphi method. In addition, combining the preliminary experimental results of vagus nerve stimulation applied to PED patients, we further develop a comprehensive intervention program for dysphagia after extubation based on neural regulation mechanism. Finally, the implementation effect of this PED comprehensive intervention program based on neural regulation mechanism will be verified through clinical application.

GroupInterventionDescription
Comprehensive Intervention GroupComprehensive Intervention or Comprehensive Intervention Combined with Electrical vagus nerve stimulationOn the basis of the control group, a comprehensive intervention plan determined through Delphi expert consultation is implemented for PED patients. This plan includes multidisciplinary collaboration, screening and assessment, oral sensory training, oral motor training, respiratory training, and feeding management. The duration and frequency of the exercises are tailored to the patient's actual condition.
Comprehensive Intervention Combined with Vagus Nerve Stimulation GroupComprehensive Intervention or Comprehensive Intervention Combined with Electrical vagus nerve stimulationOn the basis of the control group, a comprehensive intervention is implemented in combination with vagus nerve electrical stimulation.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
standardized Swallowing Assessment(SSA)up to 90 days

The first part is the clinical examination.The second part involves observing the patient's ability to swallow 5 mL of water, repeated three times. If there are no abnormalities detected in the above examinations, the amount of water for swallowing is then increased to 60 mL. To obtain the total score, the scores from all three parts are summed up.

functional oral intake scale(FOIS)up to 90 days

FOIS consists of seven levels: ① Score 1, unable to eat orally at all; ② Score 2, dependent on tube feeding, minimum attempt to eat food or liquid; ③ Score 3, dependent on tube feeding, taking single texture food or liquid orally; ④ Score 4, completely oral intake of single texture food; ⑤ score 5: fully oral intake of a variety of food textures, but with special preparation or compensation; ⑥6 points, completely oral feeding without special preparation, but with special food restriction; ⑦7 points, complete oral feeding without restriction, the higher the score, the better the swallowing function of the patient. In this study, a FOIS score of 6-7 was defined as full oral feeding

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of total oral feeding after the interventionup to 90 days

After the intervention, the patient's score on the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) was between 6 and 7, indicating that the patient has recovered the ability to eat orally.
