Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
All participants received by a trained nurse-administered, hospital-based (up to 14 days) Swallowing and Oral Care(SOC) intervention comprising toothbrushing/salivary gland massage, oral motor exercise, and advice on safe-swallowing strategies.
All participants' daily intake status (21 days) and oral health status, oral sensation(stereognosis, light touch and two-point discrimination), tongue and lip strength, salivary secretion, body weight) were assessed at 2, 7, 14 days post-extubation by a blinded research nurse.
Feasibility was evaluated as time spent providing SOC, patients adherence to SOC components, and adverse event(i.e., coughing, wet voice, or decreased oxygen saturation) during SOC intervention.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study employs a pre-and post-intervention design. The investigators were enrolled 63 post-extubated adult patients (50 years old and older) who had prolonged (≥48 hours) oral endotracheal intubation from six medical intensive care units at a medical center in Taipei, Taiwan.
Participants were assessed within 48 hours post-extubation for the baseline data, then a 14-day, daily Swallowing and Oral Care (SOC) Program involves toothbrushing/salivary gland massage, oral exercise(i.e., active/resistive range-of-motion\[ROM\] exercises for tongue, lips, and jaw), and advice on safe-swallowing strategies.
Outcome were assessed on 2nd, 7th, 14th, and 21st day post-extubation including oral health status, oral sensation (stereognosis, light touch and two-point discrimination), tongue and lip strength, salivary secretion, body weight. In addition, Three-Step Swallowing Screen (3-SSS) and Functional Oral Intake Scale(FOIS) were assessed daily. The data were analyzed by SPSS 12 software package.
