Egypt50 participantsStarted 2024-05-05

Plain-language summary

One of the most serious complications in the critically ill patient complaining of bulbar palsy is aspiration pneumonia. These patients are scheduled for nasogastric tube feeding trying to avoid recurrent aspiration and subsequent aspiration pneumonia. Even though, the risk of aspiration is still present. Putting a total parenteral nutrition regimen for these patients is a supposed strategy to avoid aspiration pneumonia till recovery from bulbar palsy or planning for tracheostomy and or feeding gastrostomy.
