BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, a large number of post-stroke survivors require nasogastric tube (NGT) placement and nasal feeding for a relatively long period. However, its impact on the swallowing function remains largely unknown. This study examines the impact of prolonged placement of an NGT on the swallowing function of elderly post-stroke patients.
METHODS: The participants of this study were 30 elderly post-stroke patients who had been using an NGT for more than 2 months. A videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) was performed before and 5 h after removal of the NGT. The following parameters were analyzed and compared, the functional dysphagia scale (FDS), residue in the valleculae, residue in the pyriform sinuses, and the penetration-aspiration scale (PAS). In addition, prior to the VFSS, the pharynx and larynx were examined using a fiberoptic laryngoscope.
RESULTS: Significant differences were observed between the total scores of the FDS, pharyngeal transit times (PTTs), the residue in the valleculae, and the residue in the pyriform sinuses before and after the NGT removal, suggesting an improved swallowing function following the removal of the NGT. A significantly lower penetration-aspiration degree was found after removing the NGT compared with that before its removal. In addition, examinations using the fiberoptic laryngoscope showed that laryngopharyngeal edema was present in three quarters of the patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that prolonged placement of the NGT had a negative impact on the swallowing function of elderly post-stroke dysphagia patients, mainly on the pharyngeal phase.
