Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the differences in quality of life and nutritional status between ischemic stroke patients With Dysphagia and Bulbar Palsy using Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube and Gastrostomy. Patients will be randomly divided into an oral tube group and a Gastrostomy group, all receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. On this basis, the oral tube group will use Intermittent Oro esophageal Tube for enteral nutrition support, while the Gastrostomy group will use Gastrostomy. Researchers will compare changes in quality of life and nutritional status of two groups of patients before and after the study to see if Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube can improve the quality of life and nutritional status between ischemic stroke patients compared Gastrostomy.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

routine rehabilitation therapy

Including： Basic treatment, including corresponding control of risk factors and education on healthy lifestyles. Swallowing training, including lemon ice stimulation, mendelson maneuver, empty swallowing training, and pronunciation training.

BEHAVIORAL

Oral tube feeding

Before each feeding, inside and outside of the tube was cleaned with water. During feeding, the patient should maintain a semi-reclining or sitting position with mouth opened, and the tube was inserted slowly and smoothly into the upper part of the esophagus by medical staffs while the appropriate depth of intubation was checked with the calibration markings on the tube wall. The distance from the incisors to the head part of the tube should be between 22-25 cm. However, the specific depth should be evaluated based on patients' feedback and adjusted accordingly. After insertion, the tail part of the tube should be put into a container full of water and the absence of continuous bubbles indicated a successful intubation. Then, the feeding was to be conducted three times per day with 50 ml per minute and 400-600ml for each feeding.

BEHAVIORAL

Gastrostomy feeding

Feeding begins through the gastrostomy tube. A registered dietitian will develop a tailored feeding plan, specifying the type and amount of nutrition. Healthcare providers regularly monitor the patient's tolerance to feeding, checking for any signs of complications. Adjustments to the feeding regimen may be made based on the patient's progress and nutritional needs.
