Conditions
Ischemic Stroke
Interventions
Device: Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding
Device: Nasogastric Tube Feeding
Behavioral: comprehensive rehabilitation therapy
Registration Number
NCT06202807
Lead Sponsor

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

GroupInterventionDescription
the observation groupIntermittent Oro-esophageal Tube FeedingAssigned randomly before the treatment, all patients were provided with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy as follows: Basic treatment, including corresponding control of risk factors and education on healthy lifestyles. Swallowing training, including lemon ice stimulation, mendelson maneuver, empty swallowing training, and pronunciation training. Pulmonary function training, including standing training, cough training, and diaphragm muscle training. The observation group was given enteral nutritional support with Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube according to the following procedure. The feeding content was formulated by the nutritionists based on the condition and relevant guidelines to reach the energy demand as 20-25 kcal/kg/day and protein supplementation of 1.2-2.0 g/kg/day for both two groups
the control groupNasogastric Tube FeedingAssigned randomly before the treatment, all patients were provided with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy as follows: Basic treatment, including corresponding control of risk factors and education on healthy lifestyles. Swallowing training, including lemon ice stimulation, mendelson maneuver, empty swallowing training, and pronunciation training. Pulmonary function training, including standing training, cough training, and diaphragm muscle training. Besides, the control group was given enteral nutritional support with Nasogastric Tube according to the relevant guidelines. Within 4 hours after admission, the placement of the feeding tube was conducted by professional medical staffs and after intubation, the tube was secured to the cheek with medical tape. The feeding was conducted once every 3-4 hours, with 200-300ml each time. The total feeding volume was determined based on daily requirements.

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
Nutritional status-prealbuminday 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.

Nutritional status-albuminday 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.

Body weightday 1 and day 15

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

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.

Nutritional status-hemoglobinday 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.

Nutritional status-total proteinday 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.
