Conditions
Stroke
Registration Number
NCT06301607
Lead Sponsor
Muhammad
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the differences in feeding amount and nutritional status between ischemic stroke patients using Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube and Nasogastric Tube. Patients will be randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, all receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. On this basis, the observation group will use Intermittent Oro esophageal Tube for enteral nutrition support, while the control group will use Nasogastric Tube. Researchers will compare changes in daily intake and nutritional status of two groups of patients before and after the study to see if Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube can improve the feeding amount and nutritional status between ischemic stroke patients compared to Nasogastric Tube

Detailed Description

The study will last 15 days for each participant.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Feeding Amountday 1 and day 15

The total amount of nutrients consumed by the patient on the day was recorded, excluding fresh water, units: milliliters

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Body weightday 1 and day 15

Body weight measurement of the infants was conducted by the same nurse according to the relevant standards.

total protein levelday 1 and day 15

The relevant indicators include total protein (TP, g/L) from the blood test within 24h after admission and the last day of treatment, generally, with empty-stomach infants and in the morning.

hemoglobin levelday 1 and day 15

The relevant indicators include hemoglobin (Hb, g/L)from the blood test within 24h after admission and the last day of treatment, generally, with empty-stomach infants and in the morning.

albumin levelday 1 and day 15

The relevant indicators include albumin (ALB, g/L)from the blood test within 24h after admission and the last day of treatment, generally, with empty-stomach infants and in the morning.

prealbumin levelday 1 and day 15

The relevant indicators include prealbumin (PA, mg/L) from the blood test within 24h after admission and the last day of treatment, generally, with empty-stomach infants and in the morning.

Functional Oral Intake Scaleday 1 and day 15

During Dysphagia-Functional Oral Intake Scale assessment, evaluators engage in communication with the patient, conduct observations, and make records to assess the patient's oral intake ability. The Functional Oral Intake Scale assessment form includes seven levels of scoring, ranging from level 1 to level 7, indicating a progressive improvement in the patient's oral intake ability. In general, the result below level 6 indicates unsafe for oral intake while level 6 and above indicates that eating via mouth can be safely conducted.
