Enteral nutrition on discharge from intensive care and 30-day unplanned readmission: An exploratory, retrospective study of association. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2024; 61:15-21. [PMID: 38777427 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2024.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Individuals who survive critical illness are often malnourished with inadequate oral nutrient intake after leaving the intensive care unit (ICU). Enteral nutrition (EN) improves nutrient intake but there is limited evidence on the impact of maintaining EN after discharge from the ICU. The objective of this exploratory study was to understand the association between EN maintenance after ICU and 30-day unplanned hospital re-admission, to inform on future prospective research into the effects of post-ICU nutrition. METHODS This was a single-centre, retrospective study of ICU patients, requiring ventilation, who received EN for at least 3 days in ICU and were discharged to the ward. RESULTS 102 patients met the inclusion criteria; 45 (44.1%) maintained EN and 57 (55.9%) discontinued EN after ICU discharge; there were no significant differences in demographics or clinical measures at ICU admission. Reason for EN discontinuation was documented in 38 (66.7%) patients, with 27 (71%) discontinuing EN due to a routine ward practice of feeding tube removal. Unplanned 30-day hospital re-admission occurred in 17 (16.7%) patients overall, 5 (11.1%) in the EN group and 12 (21.1%) in the non-EN group (crude odds ratio [OR] 0.47, 95% CI 0.15, 1.45, p = 0.188). After adjusting for age, sex, BMI and length of stay, there was a persistent trend to lower re-admission rates in the EN group (OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.09, 1.57, p = 0.176). CONCLUSIONS EN maintenance after ICU discharge was associated with a trend to lower 30-day unplanned hospital re-admission rates. The clinically relevant reduction of about 50% in unplanned re-admission rates in this exploratory study warrants larger, prospective studies of post-ICU nutrition strategies based on clear discontinuation criteria to optimize nutrition and evaluate patient-centred outcomes.

Siao SF, Ku SC, Tseng WH, Wei YC, Chang YC, Hsiao TY, Wang TG, Chen CCH. Effects of a swallowing and oral-care program on resuming oral feeding and reducing pneumonia in patients following endotracheal extubation: a randomized, open-label, controlled trial. Crit Care 2023; 27:283. [PMID: 37438759 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04568-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The resumption of oral feeding and free from pneumonia are important therapeutic goals for critically ill patients who have been successfully extubated after prolonged (≥ 48 h) endotracheal intubation. We aimed to examine whether a swallowing and oral-care (SOC) program provided to critically ill patients extubated from prolonged mechanical ventilation improves their oral-feeding resumption and reduces 30-day pneumonia incidence. METHODS In this randomized, open-label, controlled trial, participants were consecutively enrolled and randomized to receive the SOC program or usual care. The interventions comprised three protocols: oral-motor exercise, sensory stimulation and lubrication, and safe-swallowing education. Beginning on the day following patient extubation, an SOC nurse provided the three-protocol care for seven consecutive days or until death or hospital discharge. With independent outcome assessors, oral-feeding resumption (yes, no) corresponded to level 6 or level 7 on the Functional Oral Intake Scale (censored seven days postextubation) along with radiographically documented pneumonia (yes, no; censored 30 days postextubation), abstracted from participants' electronic medical records were coded. RESULTS We analyzed 145 randomized participants (SOC group = 72, control group = 73). The SOC group received, on average, 6.2 days of intervention (14.8 min daily) with no reported adverse events. By day 7, 37/72 (51.4%) of the SOC participants had resumed oral feeding vs. 24/73 (32.9%) of the control participants. Pneumonia occurred in 11/72 (15.3%) of the SOC participants and in 26/73 (35.6%) of the control participants. Independent of age and intubation longer than 6 days, SOC participants were likelier than their control counterparts to resume oral feeding (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.35; 95% CI 1.38-4.01) and had lower odds of developing pneumonia (adjusted odds ratio, 0.28; 95% CI 0.12-0.65). CONCLUSIONS The SOC program effectively improved patients' odds that oral feeding would resume and the 30-day pneumonia incidence would decline. The program might advance dysphagia care provided to critically ill patients extubated from prolonged mechanical ventilation. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT03284892, registered on September 15, 2017.

Cohen A, Seedat J, Sawasawa C. Dysphagia and pill swallowing in HIV/AIDS in South Africa: Results of a scoping review. SOUTH AFRICAN JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION DISORDERS 2023; 70:e1-e6. [PMID: 37042519 PMCID: PMC10091178 DOI: 10.4102/sajcd.v70i1.955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND South Africa has the highest prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) worldwide. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is expected to improve the quality of life for these individuals but requires long-term medication intake. Poor pill adherence and related dysphagia are undocumented for individuals on HAART regimens living in South Africa. AIM To conduct a scoping review describing the presentation of pill swallowing difficulties and dysphagia experiences of individuals with HIV and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in South Africa. METHOD This review describes the presentation of pill swallowing difficulties and dysphagia experiences of individuals with HIV and AIDS in South Africa using a modified version of the Arksey and O'Malley framework. Five search engines targeting published journal articles were reviewed. Two hundred and twenty-seven articles were retrieved; however, following the exclusion criteria based on PICO, only three articles were included. Qualitative analysis was completed. RESULTS The reviewed articles identified swallowing difficulties that adults with HIV and AIDS experienced and confirmed non-adherence to medical regimens. Barriers and facilitators of pill swallowing with dysphagia due to the side-effects of the pill itself were documented with physical properties of the pill not influencing adherence. CONCLUSION The speech-language pathologists (SLPs) role with individuals with HIV/AIDS to facilitate improved pill adherence was lacking with limited research on the management of swallowing difficulties in this population. The review identified dysphagia and pill adherence management by the SLP in South Africa as caveats for further research.Contribution: Speech-language pathologists must monitor swallowing during mealtimes as well as pill swallowing in individuals with HIV/AIDS due to the compromise of their oral health and oral structures. Speech-language pathologists therefore have to advocate for their role in the team managing this population of patients. Their involvement may reduce the risk of nutritional compromise as well as patient non-compliance with medication stemming from pain and inability to swallow solid oral dosage forms of medication.

Accuracy of Modified Blue-Dye Testing in Predicting Dysphagia in Tracheotomized Critically Ill Patients. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13040616. [PMID: 36832104 PMCID: PMC9955006 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13040616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Diagnosis of dysphagia in critically ill patients with a tracheostomy is important to avoid aspiration pneumonia. The objective of this study was to analyze the validity of the modified blue-dye test (MBDT) on the diagnosis of dysphagia in these patients; (2) Methods: Comparative diagnostic test accuracy study. Tracheostomized patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) were studied with two tests for dysphagia diagnosis: MBDT and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) as the reference standard. Comparing the results of both methods, all diagnostic measures were calculated, including the area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve (AUC); (3) Results: 41 patients, 30 males and 11 females, mean age 61 ± 13.9 years. The prevalence of dysphagia was 70.7% (29 patients) using FEES as the reference test. Using MBDT, 24 patients were diagnosed with dysphagia (80.7%). The sensitivity and specificity of the MBDT were 0.79 (CI95%: 0.60-0.92) and 0.91 (CI95%: 0.61-0.99), respectively. Positive and negative predictive values were 0.95 (CI95%: 0.77-0.99) and 0.64 (CI95%: 0.46-0.79). AUC was 0.85 (CI95%: 0.72-0.98); (4) Conclusions: MBDT should be considered for the diagnosis of dysphagia in critically ill tracheostomized patients. Caution should be taken when using it as a screening test, but its use could avoid the need for an invasive procedure.

Xia C, Ji J. The Characteristics and Predicators of Post-extubation Dysphagia in ICU Patients with Endotracheal Intubation. Dysphagia 2023; 38:253-259. [PMID: 35729419 DOI: 10.1007/s00455-022-10462-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
The current status and characteristics of post-extubation dysphagia in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with endotracheal intubation remain unclear, we aimed to evaluate the characteristics and identify the predicators for post-extubation dysphagia, to provide reliable reference to the clinical management and nursing care of dysphagia. Patients who underwent tracheal intubation for mechanical ventilation in the ICU of our hospital from January 1, 2020-May 31, 2021 were selected. The characteristics of patients with and without post-extubation dysphagia were analyzed. Univarinate and binary logistic regression analysis were used to screen the risk factors of dysphagia after extubation, and we established the risk prediction model according to the regression coefficients of each risk factor. 316 ICU patients with endotracheal intubation were included, the incidence of post-extubation dysphagia was 27.85%. Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥ 65 years (OR 2.368, 95%CI 1.633 ~ 3.946), APACHE II score ≥ 15 (OR 3.727, 95%CI 3.312 ~ 4.202), length of tracheal intubation indwelling ≥ 72 h (OR 2.495, 95%CI 1.824 ~ 3.715), length of gastric tube stay ≥ 72 h (OR 1.923, 95%CI 1.452 ~ 2.882) were the risk factors of post-extubation dysphagia in ICU patients with endotracheal intubation(all p < 0.05). Six score was used as the cuff value of the model with good sensitivity and specificity. The area under the ROC curve and 95% confidence interval was 0.822 (0.746, 0.872). There are many risks of post-extubation dysphagia in ICU patients with endotracheal intubation. For high-risk patients with a score ≥ 6, early nursing care and interventions should be given as soon as possible to reduce the post-extubation dysphagia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Aspiration and dysphagia are frequent in critically ill patients, and evidence of the validity of bedside screening tests is lacking. This study evaluated the modified Volume-Viscosity Swallow Test (mV-VST) as a screening tool for aspiration and dysphagia in intensive care unit patients. METHODS An observational, prospective longitudinal cohort single-center study included patients older than 18 years old, on mechanical ventilation for at least 48 h, conscious and cooperative. Patients had been admitted in intensive care between March 2016 and August 2019 at a university hospital in Spain. Data from the mV-VST and the flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) test in extubated and tracheostomized patients were collected; the ROC curve was obtained for each group, and the sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), positive (pPV) and negative (nPV) predictive values of mV-VST were calculated and compared with the FEES results. We calculated percentages and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for qualitative variables and means or medians for quantitative variables according to the Shapiro-Wilk test. A univariate analysis identified dysphagia risk factors in each group. RESULTS The study included 87 patients: 44 extubated and 43 tracheostomized with similar age, body mass index, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment, Charlson comorbidity index, type and reason for admission. Aspiration with FEES was significantly higher in extubated patients than in tracheostomized patients, 43.2% vs. 23.2%, respectively, p = 0.04. With the mV-VST, aspiration was detected in 54.5% of extubated patients and in 39.5% of tracheostomized patients. In the extubated group, the Se of mV-VST to detect aspiration was 89.5%, Sp was 72%, and nPV was 90%. In the tracheostomized group, Se was 100%, Sp was 78.8%, and nPV was 100%. The ROC curve showed that mV-VST similarly identifies aspiration in extubated and tracheostomized patients. CONCLUSIONS Dysphagia and aspiration are frequent amongst patients in intensive care after mechanical ventilation. The mV-VST is a valid screening tool to detect aspiration and dysphagia in extubated and tracheostomized patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Dysphagia can be a consequence of prolonged hospitalization in intensive care units (ICUs) due to severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. This study aims at Identifying the risk factors for dysphagia in ICU patients with COVID-19 pneumonia requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, and at determining the frequency of postextubation dysphagia in this population. METHODS Observational, descriptive, retrospective, cohort study of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia patients admitted into the ICUs from March to May 2020. The Modified Viscosity Volume Swallowing Test (mV-VST) was used to screening for dysphagia during the first 48 h of extubation in patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted. A logistic regression was applied to construct a predictive model of dysphagia. RESULTS A total of 232 patients were admitted into the ICUs (age [median 60.5 years (95% CI: 58.5 to 61.9)]; male [74.1% (95% CI: 68.1 to 79.4)]; APACHE II score [median 17.7 (95% CI: 13.3 to 23.2)]; length of mechanical ventilation [median 14 days (95% CI: 11 to 16)]; prone position [79% (95% CI: 72.1 to 84.6)]; respiratory infection [34.5% (95% CI: 28.6 to 40.9)], renal failure [38.5% (95% CI: 30 to 50)])). 72% (167) of patients required intubation; 65.9% (110) survived; and in 84.5% (93) the mV-VST was performed. Postextubation dysphagia was diagnosed in 26.9% (25) of patients. APACHE II, prone position, length of ICU and hospital stay, length of mechanical ventilation, tracheostomy, respiratory infection and kidney failure developed during admission were significantly associated (p < 0.05) with dysphagia. Dysphagia was independently explained by the APACHE II score (OR: 1.1; 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.3; p = 0.04) and tracheostomy (OR: 10.2; 95% CI: 3.2 to 32.1) p < 0.001). The predictive model forecasted dysphagia with a good ROC curve (AUC: 0.8; 95% CI: 0.7 to 0.9). CONCLUSIONS Dysphagia affects almost one-third of patients with SARS-COV-2 pneumonia requiring intubation in the ICU. The risk of developing dysphagia increases with prolonged mechanical ventilation, tracheostomy, and poorer prognosis on admission (worst APACHE II score).

Abstract
BACKGROUND To meet the surging demands for intubation and invasive ventilation as more COVID-19 patients begin their recovery, clinicians are challenged to find an ultra-brief and minimally invasive screen for postextubation dysphagia predicting feeding-tube dependence persisting for 72 h after extubation. METHODS This study examined the predictive validity of a two-item swallowing screen on feeding-tube dependence over 72 h in patients following endotracheal extubation. Intensive-care-unit (ICU) patients (≥ 20 years) successfully extubated after ≥ 48 h endotracheal intubation were screened by trained nurses using the swallowing screen (comprising oral stereognosis and cough-reflex tests) 24 h postextubation. Feeding-tube dependence persisting for 72 h postextubation was abstracted from the medical record by an independent rater. To verify the results and cross-check whether the screen predicted penetration and/or aspiration during fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), participants agreeing to receive FEES were analyzed within 30 min of screening. RESULTS The results showed that 95/123 participants (77.2%) failed the screen, which predicted ICU patients' prolonged (> 72 h) feeding-tube dependence, yielding sensitivity of 0.83, specificity of 0.35, and accuracy of 0.68. Failed-screen participants had 2.96-fold higher odds of feeding-tube dependence (95% CI, 1.13-7.76). For the 38 participants receiving FEES, the swallowing screen had 0.89 sensitivity to detect feeding-tube dependence and 0.86 sensitivity to predict penetration/aspiration, although specificity had room for improvement (0.36 and 0.21, respectively). CONCLUSION This ultra-brief swallowing screen is sufficiently sensitive to identify high-risk patients for feeding-tube dependence persisting over 72 h after extubation. Once identified, a further assessment and care are indicated to ensure the prompt return of patients' oral feeding. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT03284892, registered on September 15, 2017.

Abstract
Nutrition support is a therapy that crosses all ages, diseases, and conditions as health care practitioners strive to meet the nutritional requirements of individuals who are unable to meet nutritional and/or hydration needs with oral intake alone. Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs), as integral members of the nutrition support team provide needed information, such as identification of malnutrition risk, macro- and micronutrient requirements, and type of nutrition support therapy (eg, enteral or parenteral), including the route (eg, nasogastric vs nasojejunal or tunneled catheter vs port). The Dietitians in Nutrition Support Dietetic Practice Group, American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, along with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Quality Management Committee, have updated the Standards of Practice (SOP) and Standards of Professional Performance (SOPP) for RDNs working in nutrition support. The SOP and SOPP for RDNs in Nutrition Support provide indicators that describe the following 3 levels of practice: competent, proficient, and expert. The SOP uses the Nutrition Care Process and clinical workflow elements for delivering patient/client care. The SOPP describes the 6 domains that focus on professional performance. Specific indicators outlined in the SOP and SOPP depict how these standards apply to practice. The SOP and SOPP are complementary resources for RDNs and are intended to be used as a self-evaluation tool for assuring competent practice in nutrition support and for determining potential education and training needs for advancement to a higher practice level in a variety of settings.

Abstract
Nutrition support is a therapy that crosses all ages, diseases, and conditions as health care practitioners strive to meet the nutrition requirements of individuals who are unable to meet nutrition and/or hydration needs with oral intake alone. Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs), as integral members of the nutrition support team provide needed information, such as identification of malnutrition risk, macro- and micronutrient requirements, and type of nutrition support therapy (eg, enteral or parenteral), including the route (eg, nasogastric vs nasojejunal or tunneled catheter vs port). The Dietitians in Nutrition Support Dietetic Practice Group, American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, along with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Quality Management Committee, have updated the Standards of Practice (SOP) and Standards of Professional Performance (SOPP) for RDNs working in nutrition support. The SOP and SOPP for RDNs in Nutrition Support provide indicators that describe the following 3 levels of practice: competent, proficient, and expert. The SOP uses the Nutrition Care Process and clinical workflow elements for delivering patient/client care. The SOPP describes the 6 domains that focus on professional performance. Specific indicators outlined in the SOP and SOPP depict how these standards apply to practice. The SOP and SOPP are complementary resources for RDNs and are intended to be used as a self-evaluation tool for assuring competent practice in nutrition support and for determining potential education and training needs for advancement to a higher practice level in a variety of settings.
