Weaning from Tube Feeding Post Stroke by Eating, Swallowing, and Nutritional Support In-Home: A Case Report
Abstract:
In many cases, enteral tube feeding is begun after stroke without adequate assessment of feeding ability, swallowing function, and nutritional status. A 72-year-old man was recovering at home after a stroke and consulted us because he wanted to resume taking food by mouth. He had tube feeding for 13 months after the stroke. We offered him feeding and swallowing training and proper nutrition guidance by visiting dental staff and managerial dietitians at home and concluded the patient was sufficiently able to take oral food. After 4 months, the patient was completely weaned from tube feeding.
