Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators studied that swallowing function of patients receiving the Early Recovery Accelerated Swallowing (ERAS-W program) training will recover fast than that of patients in the control group. The ERAS program training will be initiated before surgery and continue to after surgery.
Detailed Description
The older patients (≥65 years old) with OFI-8≥4 undergoing elective orthopedic surgery requiring tracheal intubation will be recruited. Patients will be randomized into an intervention and a control group. Patients in the intervention groups will received the ERAS-W program, while those in the control group will receive the swallowing education video.
