Background and Purpose Stroke is the loss of brain’s function caused by hypoxia of brain cells depending on the severity and the location of the stroke. In Hong Kong, strokes are the 4th leading cause of death and morbidity in the year of 2010. Dysphagia is a common morbidity related to stroke. Approximately, 50% of stroke patients with dysphagia are suffered with aspiration and aspiration pneumonia which may lead to increased length of stay in hospitals, mortality rate and medical costs. An early nursing dysphagic screening and assessment protocol can help in early detect of dysphagia and therefore help to reduce incidence of aspiration and pneumonia. In order to understand the effectiveness of the nursing dysphagic screening and assessment protocol for the acute stroke patients, a number of studies have been reviewed to gather evidences for the translational research. A bedside nursing swallowing screening and assessment for patients with stroke is developed by incorporating findings from the literature review. Review Question In comparison to the routine care, is the nursing dysphagia assessment intended for the acute stroke patients more effective in reducing (1) the waiting time for having swallow assessment and the (2) the incidence of aspiration and pneumonia? Methods A systematic review of literatures from Ovid Medline (from 1946 to 2012), Pubmed (all dates), CINAHL Plus (from 1971 to 2012) and China Journal Net (from 1912 to 2012) was conducted. Five studies of bedside swallow screening and assessment that can be performed by nurses were selected and critically appraised using the recognized assessment criteria. Results The key components identified from the reviewed studies including swallowing assessment should be performed by trained nurses and acute stroke patients should be alert and able and can keep the sit up position during the swallowing assessment. Moreover, water swallowing test must be included as a part of the swallow assessment and assessment should best be performed in daily basic. Patients should be keeping nil of mouth when they failed the screening and referred for further assessment and management. Implementation potential in terms of transferability, feasibility and the cost benefit ratio of the proposed innovation were assessed. A communication plan was developed for the integration of the proposed innovation into the clinical setting. Outcome measures such as positive predictive value of detecting dysphagia, mean waiting time of waiting the initial swallow screening, occurrence of pneumonia, staff knowledge and compliance were identified to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed innovation and guideline. Conclusion The findings of this systematic review showed that the nursing dysphagic swallow screening and assessment is effective in detecting the dysphagia of the acute stroke patients. Further development of the proposed innovation will be conducted in the clinical setting in order to satisfy the needs of the acute stroke patients. / published_or_final_version / Nursing Studies / Master / Master of Nursing

Portanto, este estudo justifica-se pela carência técnica e científica que permeia o cenário não só do diagnóstico da disfagia neurogênica infantil, mas também dos princípios (ou variáveis) que determinam as condutas terapêuticas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo elaborar e validar o conteúdo e o processo de reposta de um instrumento de avaliação para disfagia orofaríngea pediátrica na PC. A Etapa 1 do estudo foi subdividida em revisão da literatura (1a) para verificação da frequência dos parâmetros; (1b) coleta de informações da experiência clínica de 190 prontuários de uma instituição especializada no atendimento do indivíduo com PC; (1c) análise por banca de especialistas para seleção dos parâmetros e atribuição do grau de importância para cada parâmetro por meio de uma escala de 0 a 10. A Etapa 1 foi finalizada com a elaboração da primeira versão do instrumento pela banca de especialistas e estruturação de seu manual de aplicação. A Etapa 2 contemplou evidências de validade baseadas no conteúdo por meio da avaliação e parecer de um comitê composto por 19 juízes com expertise em disfagia orofaríngea neurogênica, além da análise e compilação dos resultados pela banca de especialistas, culminando no desenvolvimento da segunda versão e eletrônica do instrumento. Para estratificar a opinião dos juízes foi calculado o índice de Validade de Conteúdo (IVC) encontrando a porcentagem de concordância.

Therefore, this study is justified by the scientific and technical deficit that permeates the scenario not only of the diagnosis of paediatric neurogenic dysphagia, but also of the principles (or variables) that determine therapeutic procedures. This study aimed at developing and validating the content and the response process of an assessment tool for paediatric oropharyngeal dysphagia in PC. Step 1 of the study was divided into literature review (1a) to check the frequency of the data; (1b) collection of information from clinical experience of 190 medical records of an institution specialized in the care of individuals with PC; (1c) analysis by the panel of specialists to choose the parameters and assigning the level of importance for each parameter using a scale of 0 to 10. The Stage 1 was completed with the development of the first version of the instrument by the panel of specialists and structuring the application manual. Step 2 included evidence of validity based on the content through the assessment and advice of a committee composed of 19 judges with expertise in neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia, and analysis and compilation of the results by the committee of experts, culminating in the development of the second version and electronics of the instrument. To layer the opinion of the judges a Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated, finding the percentage of agreement. To obtain the universal consensus, IVC-UA (universal agreement), the percentage of parameters and items with CVI greater than 80% was calculated and the average agreement (IVC-Medium) was made up.

Embora os achados da deglutição orofaríngea e a localização da lesão no Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE) já tenham sido estudados, ainda são necessárias investigações que envolvam a lateralidade da lesão cortical e as alterações na biomecânica da deglutição. Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar a relação entre o início da resposta faríngea (IRF) e a lateralidade da lesão cerebral no indivíduo após Acidente Vascular Encefálico com disfagia orofaríngea em distintas consistências de alimento e idade. Para esta pesquisa foram analisados 90 exames de videofluoroscopia de deglutição, sendo que 73 foram selecionados, contemplando todos os critérios de inclusão e exclusão da pesquisa. Estes 73 exames de videofluoroscopia de deglutição eram de indivíduos pós-AVE hemisférico unilateral e isquêmico com diagnóstico neurológico confirmado por exames médicos clínicos e de neuroimagem. Os indivíduos foram divididos em dois grupos, de acordo com o lado da lesão cortical, sendo que o grupo 1 (G1) foi composto de 39 indivíduos com lesão cortical esquerda e o grupo 2 (G2) de 34 indivíduos com lesão cortical direita. Os exames de G1 e G2 foram analisados na consistência de alimento pastosa fina e líquida. Para verificar o IRF os exames foram analisados por meio de software específico computadorizado e por dois juízes treinados no procedimento. Para a análise do nível de concordância do IRF entre os julgadores foi realizado o teste Índice de Correlação Intraclasses (ICC). Após o ICC, o tempo do IRF utilizado neste estudo foi a média estatística realizada entre a análise dos julgadores. Posteriormente, foi utilizado o teste Mann-Whitney para comparar os grupos G1 e G2 com o IRF. Os resultados mostraram que não houve diferença estatística na comparação entre os grupos G1 e G2 para o valor do IRF em ambas as consistências e faixa etária estudadas. Portanto, conclui-se que não houve relação entre o IRF com a lateralidade da lesão cerebral, independente da consistência do alimento ou faixa etária, no indivíduo após Acidente Vascular Encefálico com disfagia orofaríngea. / The central nervous system represent bilaterally of the neuromotor control of swallowing, and the cerebral cortex triggers the oral and pharyngeal phases. Although the findings of oropharyngeal swallowing and location of the lesion in stroke have been studied, it is still necessary investigations involving the lateralization of cortical damage and changes in swallowing. The aimed of this research was to verify the relationship between pharyngeal swallow response (PSR) with the lateralization of brain injury in individual after stroke with oropharyngeal dysphagia in different food consistencies and age. For this study were analyzed 90 videofluoroscopic swallow studies, and 73 were selected, covering all the criteria for inclusion and exclusion of research. These 73 videofluoroscopic swallow studies were of individuals post unilateral hemispheric ischemic stroke with neurological diagnosis confirmed by clinical medical or neuroimaging examinations. They were divided into two groups, according to the lateralization of the cortical lesion, and the group 1 (G1) was composed of 39 individuals with left cortical lesion and group 2 (G2) of 34 patients with right cortical injury. The examinations of G1 and G2 were analyzed in the puree and thin liquid consistencies. To check the PSR, the exams were analyzed using computerized specific software and two judges trained in the procedure. For the analysis of the PSR was carried out agreement between the judges in the intraclass correlation test (ICT). After the ICT, the time of the PSR used in this study was the average statistical analysis performed between the judges. Subsequently, was used the Mann-Whitney test to compare the groups G1 and G2 with the PSR. The results showed no statistical difference in the comparison between the G1 and G2 for the value of PSR in both consistencies and age group studied. Therefore, we concluded that there was no relationship between the pharyngeal swallow response with the lateralization of brain injury, regardless of food consistency or age in the individual after stroke with oropharyngeal dysphagia. / FAPESP: 2014/03848-3
