J Caring Sci 2023; 12:213-220. [PMID: 38250001 PMCID: PMC10799270 DOI: 10.34172/jcs.2023.33005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are the most frequently used life-sustaining interventions in critical care. Prolonged intubation can lead to post-extubation dysphagia, affecting the individual's nutritional level and communication ability. Thereupon, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of swallowing and oral care interventions in resuming oral intake and increasing salivary flow in post-extubation patients. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted in critical care units of a tertiary care setting, where 92 post-extubation patients who had undergone intubation for≥48 hours were enrolled. The intervention group received swallowing and oral interventions, including safe swallowing education (SSE), toothbrushing, salivary gland massage, oral cavity, and swallowing exercises. In contrast, the control group received standard oral care every 8th hour. Oral intake was assessed daily with the Functional Oral Intake Scale, and the salivary flow measurement was assessed with oral Schirmer's test on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th day after extubation. Results The baseline demographic and clinical characteristics showed that the groups were homogenous. The intervention group achieved total oral intake two days earlier than the control group. Findings also showed that the participants in the intervention group had a significant increase in salivary flow than in the control group on the 3rd and 7th days of the intervention. Conclusion Swallowing and oral care interventions help post-extubation patients resume early oral intake and increase salivary flow after prolonged intubation. Hence, it improves the patient's outcome toward a healthy life.

Front Neurosci 2023; 17:1274419. [PMID: 38027487 PMCID: PMC10656700 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2023.1274419] [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: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This study compared the differences in the degree of brain activation, and swallowing function scales in patients with post-stroke dysphagia after treatment. We explored the mechanism of cortical remodeling and the improvement effect of electroacupuncture on swallowing function in patients and provided a theoretical basis for the clinical application of electroacupuncture. Methods Fifty patients with post-stroke dysphagia were randomized to the control or electroacupuncture group. The control group underwent conventional swallowing rehabilitation for 30 min each time for 12 sessions. In the electroacupuncture group, electroacupuncture was performed based on conventional swallowing rehabilitation for 30 min each time for 12 sessions. Cortical activation tests and swallowing function assessments were performed before and after treatment. Statistical analyses were used to investigate the differences within and between the two groups to explore the treatment effects. Results There were no statistical differences in clinical characteristics and baseline data between the two groups before treatment. Cortical activation and swallowing function were improved to different degrees in both groups after treatment compared with before treatment. After treatment, the electroacupuncture group showed higher LPM (t = 4.0780, p < 0.001) and RPM (t = 4.4026, p < 0.0001) cortical activation and tighter functional connectivity between RS1 and LM1 (t = 2.5336, p < 0.05), RM1 and LPM (t = 3.5339, p < 0.001), RPM and LM1 (t = 2.5302, p < 0.05), and LM1 and LPM (t = 2.9254, p < 0.01) compared with the control group. Correspondingly, the improvement in swallowing function was stronger in the electroacupuncture group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion This study demonstrated that electroacupuncture based on conventional treatment activated more of the cerebral cortex associated with swallowing and promoted functional connectivity and remodeling of the brain. Accompanying the brain remodeling, patients in the electroacupuncture group also showed greater improvement in swallowing function. Clinical trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, ChiCTR2300067457.

Abstract
Background Staphylococcus aureus has been well recognized as an important cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), with non-specific characteristics and poor prognosis. In severe CAP (SCAP) guidelines, β-lactam combined with macrolides or fluoroquinolones therapy was recommended, but the efficacy is not satisfactory due to the continued spread of antimicrobial resistance. Contezolid is a new representative of oxazolidinones in clinical development, but no relevant reports have been reported for the treatment of SCAP. This was the first report of a patient with Staphylococcus aureus SCAP who was successfully treated with contezolid combined with other antibiotics and rehabilitation exercise. Case Presentation A 44-year-old woman with high blood pressure and diabetes was admitted to our hospital owing to cough, sputum, wheezing for 2 weeks, and aggravation for 2 days. The bronchoscopic alveolar lavage and microorganism-Rapid On Site Evaluation (BAL-mROSE) was used to get pathological data, which were positive for Staphylococcus aureus, in line with blood cultures. During hospitalization, the patient received endotracheal intubation for assisted breathing and anti-infective therapy, including meropenem, linezolid, teicoplanin and tazocin successively. Finally, contezolid obtained excellent result, with platelet recovery to normal levels and significant improvement in pulmonary imaging. Meanwhile, the patient's swallowing disorder improved after continuous rehabilitation exercise. After discharge, she received contezolid consolidation therapy for 1 week and was free of complaints during the 30-day follow-up without any special treatment for SCAP. Discussion Treatment with contezolid combined with other antibiotics and rehabilitation exercise for SCAP has shown remarkable efficacy and good safety; hence, this regimen is a promising treatment strategy for this fatal disease.

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
Objective.A flexible high-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) sensor combined with an adaptive algorithm was used to collect and analyze the swallowing activities of patients with Post-stroke dysphagia.Approach.The electrode frame, modified electrode, and bonded substrate of the sensor were fabricated using a flexible printed circuit process, controlled drop coating, and molding, respectively. The adaptation algorithm was achieved by using Laplace and Teager-Kaiser energy operators to extract active segments, a cross-correlation coefficient matrix (CCCM) to evaluate synergy, and multi-frame real-time dynamic root mean square (RMS) to visualize spatiotemporal information to screen lesions and level of dysphagia. Finally, support vector machines (SVM) were adopted to explore the classification accuracy of sex, age, and lesion location with small sample sizes.Main results.The sensor not only has a basic low contact impedance (0.262 kΩ) and high signal-to-noise ratio (37.284 ± 1.088 dB) but also achieves other characteristics suitable for clinical applications, such as flexibility (747.67 kPa) and durability (1000 times) balance, simple operation (including initial, repeated, and replacement use), and low cost ($ 15.2). The three conclusions are as follows. CCCM can be used as a criterion for judging the unbalanced muscle region of the patient's neck and can accurately locate unbalanced muscles. The RMS cloud map provides the time consumption, swallowing times, and unbalanced areas. When the lesion location involves the left and right hemispheres simultaneously, it can be used as an evidence of relatively severely unbalanced areas. The classification accuracy of SVM in terms of sex, age, and lesion location was as high as 100%.Significance.The HD-sEMG sensor in this study and the adaptation algorithm will contribute to the establishment of a larger-scale database in the future to establish more detailed and accurate quantitative standards, which will be the basis for developing more optimized screening mechanisms and rehabilitation assessment methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysphagia is one of the common complications after stroke. Dysphagia significantly increases the probability of serious adverse consequences. The purpose of this study was to compare the characteristics of submental muscles electromyography and hyoid motion parameters between patients with dysphagia after stroke and healthy controls, and whether there is a synergistic effect between the function of the submental muscles and the movement of the hyoid. METHODS Fifteen patients with post-stroke dysphagia and fifteen healthy adults simultaneously underwent the videofluoroscopic and surface electromyography of the submental muscles while swallowing 5 ml of concentrated liquid barium sulphate. The electromyographic signal of the submental muscles was analysed along with parameters of hyoid movement. FINDINGS Stage transition duration and duration of surface electromyographic activity were extended significantly in post-stroke dysphagia patients(P < 0.05). Surface electromyography amplitude and hyoid movement were significantly reduced in patients (P < 0.05). There was a significant correlation between the maximum hyoid movement distance and the peak sEMG amplitude in healthy controls (r = 0.660, P = 0.014), but not in patients with dysphagia after stroke (r = 0.425, P = 0.148). INTERPRETATION Submental muscles electromyographic signal changes in patients may be the result of uncoordinated muscle contractions and decreased muscle strength. Furthermore, the reduced hyoid movement distance may be due to impaired function of the submental muscles. In addition, the submental muscles and hyoid movement or other swallowing structures functions were impaired to varying degrees, resulting in the disappearance of the correlation between the maximum movement distance of the hyoid and the peak amplitude.

[PMID: 35395802 PMCID: PMC8991938 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-022-03974-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Post-extubation dysphagia (PED) is recognized as a common complication in the intensive care unit (ICU). Speech and language therapy (SLT) can potentially help improve PED; however, the impact of the timing of SLT initiation on persistent PED has not been well investigated. This study aimed to examine the timing of SLT initiation and its effect on patient outcomes after extubation in the ICU. Methods We conducted this multicenter, retrospective, cohort study, collecting data from eight ICUs in Japan. Patients aged ≥ 20 years with orotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation for longer than 48 h, and those who received SLT due to PED, defined as patients with modified water swallowing test scores of 3 or lower, were included. The primary outcome was dysphagia at hospital discharge, defined as functional oral intake scale score < 5 or death after extubation. Secondary outcomes included dysphagia or death at the seventh, 14th, or 28th day after extubation, aspiration pneumonia, and in-hospital mortality. Associations between the timing of SLT initiation and outcomes were determined using multivariable logistic regression. Results A total of 272 patients were included. Of them, 82 (30.1%) patients exhibited dysphagia or death at hospital discharge, and their time spans from extubation to SLT initiation were 1.0 days. The primary outcome revealed that every day of delay in SLT initiation post-extubation was associated with dysphagia or death at hospital discharge (adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 1.09; 95% CI, 1.02–1.18). Similarly, secondary outcomes showed associations between this per day delay in SLT initiation and dysphagia or death at the seventh day (AOR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.05–1.55), 14th day (AOR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.13–1.58), or 28th day (AOR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.07–1.36) after extubation and occurrence of aspiration pneumonia (AOR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.02–1.17), while per day delay in post-extubation SLT initiation did not affect in-hospital mortality (AOR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.97–1.12). Conclusions Delayed initiation of SLT in PED patients was associated with persistent dysphagia or death. Early initiation of SLT may prevent this complication post-extubation. A randomized controlled study is needed to validate these results. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s13054-022-03974-6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A considerable number of critically ill and mechanically ventilated intensive care patients show pronounced dysphagia after extubation. Many studies have shown that postextubation dysphagia (PED) leads to a significant decline of outcome. The awareness, timely diagnostic procedures and integration of suitable treatment methods in intensive care units are therefore of great importance. OBJECTIVE Current basic findings on PED, diagnostic possibilities, therapeutic methods as well as the development of concrete recommendations for clinical practice. METHODS A selective literature search was performed in PubMed, Medline and Cochrane using keywords. RESULTS In the literature the incidence PED is reported very heterogeneous but is probably at least 10% in intensive care patients after mechanical ventilation. The duration of intubation plays a critical role here. A multifactorial interaction of several factors is assumed to be the cause, whereby the impairment of laryngeal structures is of particular relevance. A PED leads to longer hospital stays, higher mortality, more reintubation and a higher number of patients with tube feeding. With respect to diagnostics, screening by trained nurses, clinical swallowing examinations and, in particular, the use of instrumental examinations by flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) are recommended. The treatment should include adaptive measures in the sense of an adapted diet but also functional exercises. Innovative approaches, such as electrical stimulation are also conceivable. The aim is primarily to avoid penetration and aspiration in order to counteract respiratory complications. CONCLUSION In many intensive care units the clinical picture of PED is still neglected despite clear evidence. A simple algorithm in the treatment of intensive care patients can contribute to early detection and initiation of further steps. These should be integrated into clinical treatment standards.

Abstract
Respiratory and neurological complications in patients in various stages of COVID-19 emphasize the role of speech-language pathologists in the assessment and management of swallowing and communication deficits in these patients. The speech-language pathologist works within a multidisciplinary team to identify these deficits, and aims to improve swallowing, nutrition, hydration, speech, and quality of life in the medical settings. This paper describes the unique symptoms and complications associated with COVID-19 that require speech-language pathologist services in medical (acute care, inpatient, and outpatient rehabilitation) facilities. The speech-language pathologist is primarily responsible for dysphagia screening and diagnosis in the acute care units, dysphagia and tracheostomy management in the inpatient units, and swallowing, speech and voice rehabilitation and neurocognitive management in the outpatient units. This paper also discusses the current therapeutic services and the precautions that speech-language pathologists must take to reduce transmission of the virus.
