Evaluation of the Effects of Using the GUSS-ICU Safe Nutrition Program After Extubation in ICU Patients
Overview
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of using the GUSS-ICU Safe Nutrition Program after extubation in Intensive Care Unit patients. This randomized controlled trial will be conducted in the Anesthesia Intensive Care Unit of Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either the control group (usual care/routine follow-up group) or the intervention group (GUSS-ICU patients). Patients undergoing GUSS-ICU assessment will continue the nutritional program, as directed by the scale, for four days. Data are recorded on the first and last day. The data will then be evaluated in conjunction with the control group data.
Detailed description
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of using the GUSS-ICU Safe Nutrition Program after extubation in intensive care patients. This randomized controlled trial will be conducted in the Anesthesia Intensive Care Unit of Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital. Patients who meet the criteria will be randomized into either an intervention group or a control group. Patients in the control group will receive routine post-extubation care, follow-up, and a nutrition plan. On day 1, baseline data will be collected using the m-NUTRIC score, APACHE-II, SOFA, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), and a patient data form. Routine follow-up and nutrition plans will be continued. At the end of day 4, the m-NUTRIC score, APACHE-II, SOFA, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), and a patient data form will be completed. Patients in the intervention group undergo a GUSS-ICU assessment within the first 4 hours after extubation. Nutrition planning is based on the assessment scores. On day 1, baseline data includes the m-NUTRIC score, APACHE-II, SOFA, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), and a patient data form. Nutritional monitoring and follow-up are continued for 4 days. At the end of day 4, the m-NUTRIC score, APACHE-II, SOFA, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), and a patient data form are completed. The data will then be evaluated in conjunction with the control group data.
Interventions
- Other Nutrion plan based on GUSS-ICU scale
To ensure a rapid and accurate transition to post-extubation nutrition, patients will be assessed using the GUSS-ICU scale at 4 hours after extubation. A nutrition plan will be created based on the patient's GUSS-ICU score and will be maintained for 4 days.
Primary outcome measures
- Changes in malnutrition risk scores and findings in intensive care patients who received a GUSS-ICU Safe Nutrition Program after extubation [Time frame: On the 1st and 4th days after extubation]
- Changes in dehydration findings in intensive care patients who received a GUSS-ICU Safe Nutrition Program after extubation [Time frame: On the 1st and 4th days after extubation]
- Change in the incidence of aspiration pneumonia in intensive care patients receiving a GUSS-ICU safe nutrition program after extubation [Time frame: On the 1st and 4th days after extubation]
- Change in the frequency of GI symptoms in intensive care patients who received a post-extubation GUSS-ICU safe nutrition program [Time frame: On the 1st and 4th days after extubation]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Change in Modified Nutrition Risk in the Critically Ill (m-NUTRIC) score [Time frame: On the 1st and 4th days after extubation]
- Change in APACHE II score [Time frame: On the 1st and 4th days after extubation]
- Change in SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) Score [Time frame: On the 1st and 4th days after extubation]
- Change in Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) score [Time frame: On the 1st and 4th days after extubation]
