Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Compared to Nasogastric Tube Feeding, can the Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding better improve the nutritional status, extubation of tracheostomy tube, pulmonary infection, neurological deficit of Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage Compared to Nasogastric Tube Feeding, is the Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding safer.
Participants will be divided into two groups randomly, with different nutritional support respectively.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
However, in the field of intracerebral hemorrhage combined with tracheostomy, research on Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding is still relatively limited. Therefore, this study was carried out to explore the clinical effect of Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding vs. Nasogastric tube feeding in tracheostomized patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, mainly on nutritional status, extubation of tracheostomy tube, pulmonary infection, neurological deficit, and intervention-related adverse events.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
The observation group
The patients were provided with 1) basic treatment including intracranial pressure reduction, anti-infection therapy, blood pressure and blood glucose control, and 2) comprehensive rehabilitation therapy including respiratory tract management, care for tracheotomy tube, comprehensive training for hemiplegic limbs, swallowing function training, pulmonary function training, and acupuncture.
For the observation group, the nasogastric tube was removed, and Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding was initiated for nutrition support within 4 hours after completing the admission assessment, following the standard Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding procedure.
Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding
The observation group was given enteral nutritional support with Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding according to the following procedure: Before each feeding, inside and outside of the tube was cleaned with water. During feeding, the patient should maintain a semi-reclining or sitting position with mouth opened, and the tube was inserted slowly and smoothly into the upper part of the esophagus by medical staffs while the appropriate depth of intubation was checked with the calibration markings on the tube wall. The distance from the incisors to the head part of the tube should be between 22-25 cm. However, the specific depth should be evaluated based on patients' feedback and adjusted accordingly. After insertion, the tail part of the tube should be put into a container full of water and the absence of continuous bubbles indicated a successful intubation. Then, the feeding was to be conducted three times per day with 50 ml per minute and 400-600ml for each feeding.

The control group
The patients were provided with 1) basic treatment including intracranial pressure reduction, anti-infection therapy, blood pressure and blood glucose control, and 2) comprehensive rehabilitation therapy including respiratory tract management, care for tracheotomy tube, comprehensive training for hemiplegic limbs, swallowing function training, pulmonary function training, and acupuncture.
Patients in the control group were provided with nutrition support by the indwelling nasogastric tube. The entire feeding process strictly followed the standardized procedure for nasogastric feeding.

Nasogastric Tube Feeding
The control group was given enteral nutritional support with Nasogastric Tube Feeding according to the relevant guidelines. Within 4 hours after admission, the placement of the feeding tube was conducted by professional medical staffs and after intubation, the tube was secured to the patient\'s cheek with medical tape. The feeding was conducted once every 3-4 hours, with 200-300ml each time. The total feeding volume was determined based on daily requirements. The feeding content was formulated by the nutritionists based on the patient\'s condition and relevant guidelines to reach the energy demand as 20-25 kcal/kg/day and protein supplementation of 1.2-2.0 g/kg/day for both two groups. For patients with limited tube feeding compliance, we made appropriate adjustments to ensure that they were not at risk of severe malnutrition as much as possible.
