What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a nursing care bundle designed to enhance oral intake in critically ill children suffering from post-extubation dysphagia. Participants are randomly assigned to either a control group receiving standard care or a study group receiving the nursing care bundle along with education on safe swallowing. The intervention begins the day after successful extubation and lasts for 14 days. The study aims to gather data on the impact of this approach on the children's ability to consume food and liquids safely.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are critically ill children who have undergone emergency oral endotracheal intubation for at least 48 hours and can communicate without sensory deficits.
Not a fit: Patients with a history of neuromuscular disease, preexisting swallowing problems, or those who are agitated may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve the oral intake and overall recovery of critically ill children after extubation.
How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific nursing care bundle for post-extubation dysphagia in critically ill children is relatively novel.
