Individuals with Barrett's esophagus are often asymptomatic, but they may experience symptoms commonly associated with GERD, such as heartburn and acid regurgitation. Additional symptoms can include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, unintentional weight loss, blood in the stool (which may appear black, tarry, or bloody), and episodes of vomiting.
To diagnose Barrett's esophagus, healthcare providers often recommend an endoscopy for those showing symptoms of acid reflux. The procedure...

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

2.3K
Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

1.9K
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

1.6K
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.
Nasointestinal Feeding
Nasointestinal feeding involves placing a tube...

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Nursing
    • Patient Safety
    • Swallowing Disorders

    Background:

    • Adult dysphagia significantly impacts quality of life and poses life-threatening risks.
    • Dysphagia-related deaths are often preventable through improved clinical practices.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide five evidence-based recommendations for preventing dysphagia-related deaths in adults.
    • To highlight the critical role of nurses in dysphagia management and patient safety.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 30 years of clinical experience in adult dysphagia.
    • Analysis of expert testimony from adult dysphagia malpractice cases.
    • Formulation of actionable nursing recommendations for dysphagia care.

    Main Results:

    • Nurses should prioritize diet status and adhere to speech-language pathologist (SLP) recommendations.
    • Familiarity with dysphagia assessments and responsiveness to instrumental assessment needs are crucial.
    • Accurate and disseminated communication regarding dysphagia is essential for patient safety.

    Conclusions:

    • Most negative outcomes in adult dysphagia management are preventable.
    • Nurses are pivotal in preventing dysphagia-related deaths through diligent care and communication.
    • Implementing the five recommendations can enhance patient safety and reduce mortality.
