Research progress on factors related to post-extubation dysphagia in ICU patients with tracheal intubation
In the treatment environment of the intensive care unit(ICU),long-term mechanical ventilation will have a range of negative effects on the structure and function of the patient's throat,especially after extubation.The occurrence of post-extubation dysphagia is not limited to swallowing difficulties and food residue,but can also be accompanied by symptoms such as hoarseness,cough,and choking.In severe cases,it can even lead to aspiration pneumonia and malnutrition in patients.The factors that affect swallowing function are complex,including muscle atrophy,nerve control damage,decreased laryngeal reflex,psychological factors,and overall physical condition.This article reviews the etiology and influencing factors of dysphagia in ICU patients after extubation,and elaborates on current treatment interventions,aiming to provide clinical doctors with treatment references on post-extubation dysphagia.These pieces of information are of great significance for developing individualized treatment plans,reducing the risk of complications,accelerating patient recovery,and providing new perspectives for future research directions and clinical practice.
