Clinical Trial Summary

Prone ventilation is an important treatment for respiratory failure with intractable hypoxia, and the Corona Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19 ) outbreak has further elevated the status of prone ventilation. Early enteral nutrition (EN) is also recognised as an important measure to improve the prognosis of critically ill patients. However, the administration of enteral nutrition during prone position is still quite controversial. In this paper, we analysed the tolerance and safety of enteral nutrition in the prone position by reviewing studies before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. Key strategies to improve the tolerability of enteral nutrition in the prone position are also summarised and discussed.

Clinical Trial Description

We plan to carry out the following research: through multi center investigation and research, to understand the current situation of critical care workers' cognition of enteral nutrition in patients with severe prone position ventilation. 1. research purpose: to understand the current situation of cognition of critically ill medical staff on enteral nutrition in patients with severe prone position ventilation. 2. research design and methods: This study includes three parts: 1. confirmation of the research object; 2. research content and specific content of the questionnaire; 3. statistical analysis of questionnaire results. Research object: investigation unit: intensive care unit (ICU) of secondary grade A and above comprehensive hospitals (including traditional Chinese medicine and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine hospitals), including comprehensive ICU, central ICU, emergency ICU, medical ICU, surgical ICU, brain ICU, and other specialized ICUs. respondents: medical staff working in the above ICU during the survey. It does not include resident trainees, interns and other types of personnel who are not in the Department. Refresher trainees, if their job is ICU medical care, can also fill in the questionnaire, but it should be noted that the unit filling in is the original unit, not the refresher unit. Research content: Investigation on the current situation of medical staff's understanding of enteral nutrition in patients with severe prone position ventilation: a multicenter investigation. The questionnaire is divided into three parts (basic information, prone position ventilation information, enteral nutrition). See the questionnaire for details. The main purpose is to describe the current situation of critical care physicians' cognition of the implementation of enteral nutrition in prone position requiring mechanical ventilation. The main outcome measure was whether enteral nutrition had been started before prone position, and whether enteral nutrition would be cut off because of the need for prone position. Research methods: for the research objects that meet the inclusion criteria, the electronic questionnaire was issued in January 2023 for questionnaire survey, and the electronic questionnaire data were exported in the background in February 2023, and the questionnaire data were sorted out for statistical analysis. The main ways to issue questionnaires are as follows: 1. issue questionnaires through the quality control center of Zhejiang Province; 2. the questionnaire was distributed through the quality control center of traditional Chinese medicine critical care medicine in Sichuan Province; 3. through the severe nutrition group / nursing group of Zhejiang nutrition branch; 4. the questionnaire was distributed through the critical care medicine branch of the Chinese Research Hospital Association; 5. through the emergency world and emcrit wechat platform; 6. other ways. ;
