Feeding Hesitancy

Details and patient eligibility

About

The aim of this clinical trial is to compare Feeding Hesitancy of ischemic stroke patients who receive enteral nutrition support through either Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube or Nasogastric Tube. Patients will be randomly assigned to either an observation group or a control group, with both groups receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. The observation group will receive enteral nutrition support through Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube, while the control group will receive it through Nasogastric Tube. Researchers will then compare Feeding Hesitancy of the two groups.

Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding

Experimental group

Description:

The group was given enteral nutritional support with Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube according to the following procedure. The feeding content was formulated by the nutritionists based on the condition and relevant guidelines to reach the energy demand as 20-25 kcal/kg/day and protein supplementation of 1.2-2.0 g/kg/day for both two groups

Treatment:

Device: Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding

Nasogastric Tube Feeding

Active Comparator group

Description:

the group was given enteral nutritional support with Nasogastric Tube according to the relevant guidelines. Within 4 hours after admission, the placement of the feeding tube was conducted by professional medical staffs and after intubation, the tube was secured to the cheek with medical tape. The feeding was conducted once every 3-4 hours, with 200-300ml each time. The total feeding volume was determined based on daily requirements.

Treatment:

Device: Nasogastric Tube Feeding
