Optimizing Dysphagia Treatment Delivery in Acute Care: A Hybrid Efficacy Implementation Trial
This research study is investigating the efficacy and implementation of expiratory muscle strength training (EMST), standard of care dysphagia treatment, and intensive dysphagia treatment in critically ill adults in the acute care setting. Currently, no targeted, effective, and feasible dysphagia treatment approaches currently exist for use in critically ill adults in the acute care setting. The current study will investigate the impact of EMST, standard of care dysphagia treatment, and intensive dysphagia treatment on pulmonary function, cough function, swallow function, frailty, patient-reported swallow function, and health outcomes in critically ill adults. This study will also examine patient perceptions and clinical speech-language pathologists' perceptions of the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of these interventions.
Critically ill adults will: undergo tests of breathing, cough, and swallow function, complete questionnaires about the treatment, and their swallow function, and complete their respective treatment as prescribed.
Clinical speech-language pathologists will complete questionnaires about the interventions.
A subset of critically ill adults and clinical speech-language pathologists will also have the opportunity to participate in focus groups.

详细说明
This study will involve two in-person research evaluations in the hospital that will last 45 minutes- 1 hour and will consist of a screening, breathing and cough testing, swallow function testing, measures of frailty, and completion of questionnaires. Following the initial research evaluation, critically ill adults will complete the intervention they are assigned to as prescribed. The exercises will take 15-20 minutes to complete and adherence to treatment will be tracked. Prior to hospital discharge and after completion of the intervention, critically ill adults will undergo a second research evaluation.
Clinical speech-language pathologists will complete questionnaires about the interventions that will take 10-15 minutes.
A subset of critically ill adults and clinical speech-language pathologists will also have the opportunity to participate in focus groups, which will take 45 minutes-1 hour.

- Hospitalized in non-neuro intensive care unit (ICU) setting at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) at some point during admission
- Dysphagia is primarily related to ICU stay and not other medical conditions that may cause dysphagia
- medically cleared with no contraindications for expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) or other treatments
- Cognitive capacity to follow basic directions
- Willing to undergo testing and treatment for the study.
Inclusion criteria for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) will be:

参与者组/臂 |
干预/治疗 |
|---|---|
|
实验性的：Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST)
Critically ill adults will complete EMST as prescribed.
|
EMST devices will be set to 60% of participants' maximum expiratory pressure.
Participants will complete training 5 days per week by performing 5 sets of 5 repetitions.
|
|
有源比较器：Standard of Care Dysphagia Treatment
Critically ill adults will receive dysphagia treatment per standard of care.
|
Critically ill adults will perform one set of ten repetitions of each exercise recommended by their clinical speech-language pathologist.
Enrolled participants will complete up to two training sessions per week (0-2 pending normal clinical care course) with a clinical speech-language pathologist
|
|
实验性的：Intensive Dysphagia Treatment
Critically ill adults will complete intensive dysphagia treatment as prescribed.
|
Critically ill adults will perform one set of ten repetitions of each exercise (effortful swallow, Masako maneuver, Mendelsohn maneuver, chin tuck against resistance, tongue strengthening exercises, and may also participate in bolus driven therapy).
Enrolled participants will complete five training sessions per week (at least 3 days/week with the PI or a trained member of the research team and up to 2 days/week with a member of the clinical speech-language pathology team).

大体时间 |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Dynamic Imaging Grade of Swallowing Toxicity Scale (DIGEST) Grades
大体时间：pre-treatment (baseline), and post-treatment prior to hospital discharge, assessed up to 2 weeks
|
The DIGEST is a validated, 5-point ordinal rating scale that quantifies global pharyngeal swallow function.
|
pre-treatment (baseline), and post-treatment prior to hospital discharge, assessed up to 2 weeks
|
|
Change in Penetration Aspiration Scale Scores
大体时间：pre-treatment (baseline), and post-treatment prior to hospital discharge, assessed up to 2 weeks
|
The penetration aspiration scale is a validated 8-point ordinal rating scale that measures the depth of airway invasion and the patient's response during swallowing.
Scores range from 1 to 8 with a score of 1 indicating a safe swallow (best score) and 8 indicating silent aspiration (worst score).
