Brief Summary

This was a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trail involved tracheostomized patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage transferred to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of 4 hospitals in China between January 2023 to June 2023.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the clinical effect of Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding vs Nasogastric Tube Feeding in Tracheostomized Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Compared to Nasogastric Tube Feeding, can the Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding better improve the nutritional status, extubation of tracheostomy tube, pulmonary infection, neurological deficit of Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage Compared to Nasogastric Tube Feeding, is the Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding safer.

Participants will be divided into two groups randomly, with different nutritional support respectively.

Detailed Description

Safe and efficient enteral nutrition support for tracheostomized patients with intracerebral hemorrhage continues to be a challenge. Nasogastric tube feeding has been the mainstay in China but has a significant risk of adverse events. Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding is an established enteral nutrition mode that can be used to replace Nasogastric tube feeding. This study reports the clinical effect of Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding vs Nasogastric tube feeding in tracheostomized patients with intracerebral hemorrhage receiving basic medical treatment and comprehensive rehabilitation therapy.

However, in the field of intracerebral hemorrhage combined with tracheostomy, research on Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding is still relatively limited. Therefore, this study was carried out to explore the clinical effect of Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding vs. Nasogastric tube feeding in tracheostomized patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, mainly on nutritional status, extubation of tracheostomy tube, pulmonary infection, neurological deficit, and intervention-related adverse events.

The control groupcomprehensive rehabilitation therapyThe patients were provided with 1) basic treatment including intracranial pressure reduction, anti-infection therapy, blood pressure and blood glucose control, and 2) comprehensive rehabilitation therapy including respiratory tract management, care for tracheotomy tube, comprehensive training for hemiplegic limbs, swallowing function training, pulmonary function training, and acupuncture. Patients in the control group were provided with nutrition support by the indwelling nasogastric tube. The entire feeding process strictly followed the standardized procedure for nasogastric feeding.

For the observation group, the nasogastric tube was removed, and Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding was initiated for nutrition support within 4 hours after completing the admission assessment, following the standard Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding procedure.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of cases of successful extubationday 30

The Number of cases of successful extubation for both groups was recorded and compared. The parameters or criteria for extubation were: 1) stable clinical condition and a respiratory rate of 12-22 breaths per minute. 2) strong coughing ability and minimal airway secretions. 3) after completing a trial of tracheostomy tube capping, patients showed no fever, dyspnea, or asthma within 72 hours. Additionally, their blood oxygen saturation remained above 95% and normal oxygen partial pressure was observed

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hemoglobinday 1 and day 30

Hemoglobin was recorded via blood routine test.(Hb, mg/L)

Body mass indexday 1 and day 30

Weight and height will be combined to report Body mass index in kg/m\^2

Serum albuminday 1 and day 30

Serum albumin was recorded via blood routine test.(Alb, g/L)

Clinical Pulmonary Infection Scoreday 1 and day 30

The Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score was recruited for evaluation, with specific assessment indicators such as body temperature, white blood cell count, respiratory secretions, chest X-rays, oxygenation index. The total scores ranged from 0 to 12, with a higher score indicated a more severe pulmonary infection
