This study tests whether specialized nutrition therapy can help patients who have trouble swallowing after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to improve recovery and quality of life for people who need a feeding tube after leaving the hospital.
This study looks at whether using a capped breathing tube for about 48 hours is safe and whether it fits with swallowing training after head and neck surgery. It may help people transition more safely from a breathing tube back toward normal swallowing and breathing.
This study looks at aspiration (food or liquid going “the wrong way” into the airway) in people who survived a serious ICU breathing problem. It may help doctors better support safe swallowing and breathing recovery after being on a breathing machine.
This study uses ultrasound to check the muscles that help you swallow and move. It aims to see if measuring these muscles can predict swallowing problems and muscle loss after being on a breathing machine.
This study tests whether a feeding tube placed directly into the stomach (gastrostomy) or used only for some meals helps people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It aims to see if these methods improve recovery.
This study looks at whether using a feeding tube affects sleep quality in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It may help doctors find ways to improve both nutrition and rest.
