Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of intermittence oro-esophageal tube feeding on the comfort and swallowing function of paralytic patients with swallowing disorder.Methods A total of 80 paralytic patients with dysphagia who were hospitalized in Neurology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to December 2016 and met the inclusion criteria were selected by convenience sampling method and divided into observation group and control group according to random number table, with 40 cases in each group. Intermittence oro-esophageal tube feeding was used in observation group, and nasogastric feeding was used in control group. The nasopharyngeal comfort of both groups on the third and tenth day of intervention and patients' swallowing function before feeding and on the tenth day of intervention were compared respectively.Results On the third and tenth day of intervention, the differences between the two groups on the symptoms of nasal discomfort, throat pain, oropharyngeal dryness and swallowing discomfort were statistically significant (P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in the extent of swallowing disorder between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). Comparing the two groups on the tenth day of intervention, the difference of patients' swallowing function was statistically significant (P<0.01). Patients' swallowing function recovery on the tenth day of intervention was statistically different between the two groups (P<0.01). Conclusions Intermittence oro-esophageal tube feeding can significantly improve the comfort and the swallowing function in stroke patients. Thus, intermittence oro-esophageal tube feeding is a worthy method to expand in clinical practice.
