简要总结
This study is being conducted to determine whether providers who have access to their patients' acoustic intestinal rate score as calculated by an abdominal acoustic sensor that continuously monitors bowel sounds (AbStats) will be more likely to advance their patients' diets to a solid diet sooner than those who do not have access to this rate. AbStats calculates intestinal rates by using two small sensors placed on a patient's abdomen to measure and analyze their abdominal sounds.
Patients will be asked to wear a sensor every morning for 20 minutes while they are fasting daily during their inpatient visit. The sensor will measure the sounds within their abdomen. This data will be interpreted by the AbStats device, which will provide an intestinal rate measurement based on the sounds recorded by the sensors.
This intestinal rate will be provided to the patient's treating physician together with other vital signs. The doctor, at his/her discretion, may choose to use this information to make decisions about the patient's feeding status.
详细描述
The research team will use an abdominal acoustic sensor that continuously monitors bowel sounds (AbStats) to obtain acoustic measurements from 50 Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC) hospital patients by placing a disposable sensor on their abdomen. The sensor will be connected to a bedside monitor which records the sounds collected by the sensors and interprets them to create an intestinal rate reading, measured as acoustic events per minute. The research team will enter this score into the patient's chart and make it available to the patient's clinician(s), to use at their discretion to make decisions on whether or not to advance their patient's diet based on intestinal rate interpretation guidelines previously developed. The entry will provide a numerical intestinal rate with a brief interpretation of the score as listed below. This will be based on interpretations of the measures provided by the AbStats bedside computer, which have been previously developed in a wider research study.6 The scores will be interpreted using the following criteria:
Fasting intestinal rate score of <3 per minute: Ileus; Consider holding diet advancement until there is more evidence of GI function (feeding "red light")
Fasting intestinal rate score of 3-5 per minute: Slow motility; Consider advancing to liquid diet if NPO, assuming it is otherwise medically and surgically appropriate (feeding "yellow light")
Fasting intestinal rate score of >5 per minute: Normal motility; consider advancing to full diet if medically and surgically appropriate (feeding "green light")
Even though these readings will be provided in the patient chart, physicians must use their clinical judgment and account for mental status, aspiration risk, medications, surgical and medical comorbidities before making any feeding decisions. The intestinal rate is merely a new piece of information that provides objective evidence of GI function; it is likely superior to current best practices, which are notoriously unreliable for truly determining GI functional status and motility.
