M-A | Age, tracheal intubation time, tracheostomy, and APACHE II score are risk factors for post-extubation dysphagia in ICU patients

13 Mar, 2023 | 14:59h | UTC

Summary: Post-extubation dysphagia is a common complication in ICU patients who have undergone intubation and mechanical ventilation, leading to a risk of aspiration and pneumonia.

The review included 15 studies involving 50,669 patients and found that: 1 – age; 2 – duration of tracheal intubation; 3 – tracheostomy; and 4 – APACHE II score were significant risk factors for post-extubation dysphagia.

By identifying these risk factors, clinicians can better identify patients at risk of developing dysphagia after extubation and take measures to prevent and manage the condition.
