Background and Purpose— Acute-onset dysphagia after stroke is frequently associated with an increased risk of aspiration pneumonia. Because most screening tools are complex biased toward fluid swallowing, we developed a simple, stepwise bedside screen that allows graded rating separate evaluations for nonfluid nutrition starting textures. The Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS) aims at reducing the during test to minimum; it assesses severity recommends special diet accordingly. Methods— Fifty...
Post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) is present in more than 50% of acute stroke patients, increases the risk complications, particular aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition and dehydration, linked to poor outcome mortality. The aim this guideline assist all members multidisciplinary team their management patients with PSD. These guidelines were developed based on European Stroke Organisation (ESO) standard operating procedure followed Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development Evaluation (GRADE)...
Abstract Introduction Neurogenic dysphagia defines swallowing disorders caused by diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, neuromuscular transmission, or muscles. is one most common at same time dangerous symptoms many neurological diseases. Its important sequelae include aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition dehydration, affected patients more often require long-term care are exposed to an increased mortality. Based on a systematic pubmed research related original papers, review...
Abstract Purpose Screening for dysphagia at the intensive care unit (ICU) soon after extubation can prevent aspiration, pneumonia, lower mortality, and shorten re-feeding interval. This study aimed to modify Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS), which was developed acute stroke patients, validate it extubated patients in ICU. Methods In this prospective study, forty-five who had been intubated least 24 h were recruited consecutively earliest extubation. The modified GUSS-ICU performed twice by...
Post-extubation dysphagia is a condition that becoming growing concern. The occurs in 3-62% of extubated patients and can be related to mixed aetiologies, such as neuromuscular impairment, critical illness laryngeal damage. risk factors for developing critically ill are under-diagnosed perhaps underestimated. Recent studies recommend the implementation standardized swallowing screen prevent aspiration decrease pneumonia rate mortality. aim this quality improvement initiative was development...
While formal screening for dysphagia following acute stroke is strongly recommended, there little evidence on how multi-consistency and dietary modifications affect the rate of stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP). This observational study reports which factors a stroke-unit recommendations relate to SAP.Analyses from database including 1394 patients admitted with at our in Austria between 2012 2014. Dietary were performed Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS). Patients evaluated GUSS compared...
Abstract Aim To provide a comprehensive overview of how stroke nurses manage solid medication (SM) delivery to patients with post‐stroke dysphagia. Design Cross‐sectional study. Methods A self‐administered online survey was carried out among in German‐speaking countries between September and December 2021. Results Out total 754 responses, analysis conducted on 195 who reported working unit. identify swallowing difficulties acute care, 99 indicated routinely administering standardised...
Zusammenfassung Die Schluckfunktion kann durch eine Intubation stark beeinträchtigt werden. Essen und Trinken, aber auch Speichelschlucken können dadurch massiv gestört In diesem Fall konnten einer jungen, multimorbiden Frau die Zusammenarbeit des gesamten medizinischen Personals Nahrungsaufnahme wieder ermöglicht Lebensqualität gesteigert
