American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) guidelines recommend gastrostomy for patients suspected to require enteral access device for 4-6 weeks. Our hypothesis was that traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients undergoing synchronous tracheostomy/gastrostomy (SYNC) compared to tracheostomy first (DELAY) have shorter length of stay (LOS) but higher rates of unnecessary gastrostomy.
Retrospective review of TBI patients requiring tracheostomy in 2017-2022 at a Level 1 trauma center was conducted. SYNC and DELAY patients were compared, and CoxPH analysis was performed for LOS.
394 patients were included [mean age: 42 (SD:18); mortality: 9 %]. The DELAY group had longer LOS (39 vs 32 days, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in unnecessary gastrostomy rate between groups (p = 0.1331). In adjusted hazard analysis, SYNC predicted shorter LOS (HR:1.54; 95 % CI:1.20-1.98, p < 0.001).
Synchronous gastrostomy was associated with shorter length of stay and similar rates of unnecessary gastrostomy in TBI patients.
美国肠外和肠内营养学会(ASPEN)指南建议,对于疑似需要肠内通路装置4 - 6周的患者行胃造口术。我们的假设是,与先行气管切开术(延迟组)相比,同时行气管切开术/胃造口术(同步组)的创伤性脑损伤(TBI)患者住院时间更短,但不必要胃造口术的发生率更高。
对2017 - 2022年在一级创伤中心需要气管切开术的TBI患者进行回顾性研究。比较同步组和延迟组患者,并对住院时间进行CoxPH分析。
纳入394例患者[平均年龄:42岁(标准差:18);死亡率:9%]。延迟组住院时间更长(39天对32天,p < 0.001)。两组间不必要胃造口术发生率无显著差异(p = 0.1331)。在调整风险分析中,同步组预测住院时间更短(风险比:1.54;95%置信区间:1.20 - 1.98,p < 0.001)。
同步胃造口术与TBI患者住院时间缩短及不必要胃造口术发生率相似有关。
