• Impaired swallowing in critically ill patients who required intubation can lead to malnutrition, dehydration, aspiration, and pneumonia. — Trajectory and influencing factors of swallowing function in adults after orotracheal extubation in an intensive care unit in China: a prospective cohort study
• No established prospective, systematic, evidence-based guideline exists for screening aspiration risk in ICU patients after extubation. — Trajectory and influencing factors of swallowing function in adults after orotracheal extubation in an intensive care unit in China: a prospective cohort study
• Swallowing recovery after extubation is dynamic rather than static, which prior cross-sectional research often failed to capture. — Trajectory and influencing factors of swallowing function in adults after orotracheal extubation in an intensive care unit in China: a prospective cohort study
• Many institutions delay swallowing assessment until 24 hours after extubation based on the belief that aspiration risk decreases after that point. — Trajectory and influencing factors of swallowing function in adults after orotracheal extubation in an intensive care unit in China: a prospective cohort study
• Prior research found that 82.2% of patients passed swallowing assessment within 2 hours after extubation and 91.6% passed within 24 hours. — Trajectory and influencing factors of swallowing function in adults after orotracheal extubation in an intensive care unit in China: a prospective cohort study
