Rapid identification of these patients is necessary to establish early enteraltubefeeding.
2
Background: Little is known about the risk to patients' health when using home-prepared enteraltubefeeding.
3
Objective: To develop and validate a prognostic model predicting swallowing recovery and the need for enteraltubefeeding.
4
This knowledge may help clinicians to identify patients at risk of prolonged swallowing problems that would benefit from enteraltubefeeding.
5
After informed consent participants are randomly allocated to standard care with intravenous rehydration or early enteraltubefeeding in addition to standard care.
6
Small observational studies indicate that enteraltubefeeding may have the ability to effectively treat dehydration and malnutrition and alleviate nausea and vomiting symptoms.
7
However, specific lesions of the anterior insula lead to severe impairment and tube dependency and clinicians might consider early enteraltubefeeding in these patients.
8
Considering the hygiene criteria, the home-prepared enteraltubefeedings did not differ significantly.
