I was in one of the meetings in the European stroke conference in Hamburg last May where a paper was suggesting that there is a high risk of silent pneumonia in dysphagic NG tube fed stroke patients.The paper put the risk ratio at almost 80%. My personal experience is showing that inserting NG tube for dysphagic stroke patients is not preventing aspiration pneumonia. WHAT ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS SUBJECT? Are we delaying the PEG feed to be started for the dysphagic stroke patients? and what is the risk of aspiration pneiumonia in PEG fed stroke parients?. |
