About this study
Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial to Explore the Effect of Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube on Feeding Amount
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the differences in feeding amount and nutritional status between ischemic stroke patients using Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube and Nasogastric Tube. Patients will be randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, all receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. On this basis, the observation group will use Intermittent Oro esophageal Tube for enteral nutrition support, while the control group will use Nasogastric Tube. Researchers will compare changes in daily intake and nutritional status of two groups of patients before and after the study to see if Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube can improve the feeding amount and nutritional status between ischemic stroke patients compared to Nasogastric Tube

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Nasogastric Tube FeedingDevice
The control group was given enteral nutritional support with Nasogastric Tube Feeding 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 patient\'s 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. The feeding content was formulated by the nutritionists based on the patients 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. For patients with limited tube feeding compliance, we made appropriate adjustments to ensure that they were not at risk of severe malnutrition as much as possible.
Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube FeedingDevice
The observation group was given enteral nutritional support with Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube according to the following procedure: 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.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Nutritional status-total protein
The relevant indicators include total protein (TP, g/L) from the blood test within 24h after admission and the last day of treatment, generally, with empty-stomach ones and in the morning.
Measured: day 1 and day 15
Nutritional status-hemoglobin
The relevant indicators include hemoglobin (Hb, g/L)from the blood test within 24h after admission and the last day of treatment, generally, with empty-stomach ones and in the morning.
Measured: day 1 and day 15
Nutritional status-albumin
The relevant indicators include albumin (ALB, g/L)from the blood test within 24h after admission and the last day of treatment, generally, with empty-stomach ones and in the morning.
Measured: day 1 and day 15
Nutritional status-prealbumin
The relevant indicators include prealbumin (PA, mg/L) from the blood test within 24h after admission and the last day of treatment, generally, with empty-stomach ones and in the morning.
Measured: day 1 and day 15
Secondary outcomes (3)
Feeding Amount
The total amount of nutrients consumed by the patient on the day was recorded, excluding fresh water, units: milliliters
Measured: day 1 and day 15
Body weight
Body weight measurement of the infants was conducted by the same nurse according to the relevant standards.
Measured: day 1 and day 15
Functional Oral Intake Scale
During Dysphagia-Functional Oral Intake Scale assessment, evaluators engage in communication with the patient, conduct observations, and make records to assess the patient's oral intake ability. The Functional Oral Intake Scale assessment form includes seven levels of scoring, ranging from level 1 to level 7, indicating a progressive improvement in the patient's oral intake ability. In general, the result below level 6 indicates unsafe for oral intake while level 6 and above indicates that eating via mouth can be safely conducted.
Measured: day 1 and day 15
