Nutritional Therapy in Patients With Post-extubation Dysphagia
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the prescription of two doses of protein on the amount in kilograms of muscle mass and on the clinical evolution (time until safe swallowing, time until removal of the feeding stoma, number of hospital readmissions, feeding stoma infections, incidence …
Relationship Between Swallowing Dynamics and Suprahyoid Muscle Activity in Sarcopenic Dysphagia
Sarcopenic dysphagia is defined as swallowing difficulty among the elderly due to the loss of whole body skeletal and swallowing muscle mass and function. However, the pathophysiology and dynamics of swallowing in sarcopenic dysphagia have been poorly investigated. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the characteristics of sarcopenic dysphagia …
Innovative Patient-partner-guided Virtual Group Speech Pathology Intervention Model in Head and Neck Cancer
This project aims to study an innovative intervention, the eG2 Intervention, developed by speech-language pathologists at the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal to improve therapeutic adherence and prevent dysphagia in patients treated with chemoradiotherapy for head and neck cancer. The innovation consists in offering a speech therapy intervention that …
Clinical Trial on the Safety and Efficacy of Optimized Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for the Swallowing Function in Patients With Post-Stroke Dysphagia
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the application of optimized transcranial direct current stimulation is more effective compared to sham stimulation for temporary improvement of swallowing function in patients with post-stroke dysphagia.
A New Ultrasound Score for Swallowing Disorders Diagnosis in Difficult-to-wean Tracheostomised Patients
Swallowing Disorders (SD) is commonly observed in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Disruption to the upper airway by way of a tracheostomy may lead to physiological and/or biomechanical changes to the swallow, thereby increasing dysphagia risk. SD is independently associated with adverse outcomes including respiratory complications, nutritional compromise, and even …
GUSS-ICU Safe Nutrition Program After Extubation in ICU Patients
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of using the GUSS-ICU Safe Nutrition Program after extubation in Intensive Care Unit patients. This randomized controlled trial will be conducted in the Anesthesia Intensive Care Unit of Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital. Eligible participants will be …
SURE Trial: Swallowing Ultrasound Reliability Evaluation Trial
This study aims to explore the reliability of using ultrasonography (US) for the assessment of swallowing function in patients with dysphagia. The study will recruit 80 patients and compare the findings with those obtained from fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), which serves as the gold standard.
Dissemination and Implementation of DIGEST™ as an Evidence-based Measurement Tool for Dysphagia: A Randomized Implementation Trial
To improve swallowing outcomes in cancer through clinical implementation of the Dynamic Imaging Grade of Swallowing Toxicity (DIGEST™) as an evidence-based practice (EBP) tool to grade pharyngeal dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) as a toxicity of cancer.
the Effect of Adult Intubated Patient Clinical Pathway on Post-extubation Complications Prevention
Post- extubation complications delay the complete recovery of critically ill patient. The clinical pathway is one strategies that help to manage and control these complications.
Non-standardized vs. Standardized Screening for Dysphagia
The purpose of this study is to compare two different screening tests for detecting dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) as well as the risk for aspiration (silent swallowing of liquids/solids into the lungs) in patients after an ischemic stroke (when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the brain).
