What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the effect of a nursing care bundle on oral intake among critically ill children who experience post-extubation dysphagia. The study focuses on children who have recently been extubated after mechanical ventilation and are at risk of swallowing difficulties, seeking to improve their oral intake during recovery. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. The control group of 30 children receives conventional hospital care without additional interventions. The study group of 30 children receives a nursing care bundle focused on oral intake starting the day after successful extubation and continuing for 14 days. This group also receives brief education on safe swallowing techniques. During the study, researchers collect baseline data and then assess oral health, swallowing ability, and normal oral intake at two time points: one week and two weeks after extubation. Tools used include the Post-Extubation Oral Assessment Scale, the Pediatric Dysphagia Screening Questionnaire, and the Pediatric Functional Oral Intake Scale. The study involves close monitoring of participants' progress over this 14-day period to evaluate changes from baseline.
