- Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the effects of gastric intubation in patients with stroke and dysphagia. A systematic literature review was performed in six databases, using the keywords stroke and intubation, gastrointestinal. One hundred and twenty studies were found, from which three clinical trials were selected. The results showed different outcomes, including: increased serum albumin level (gastrostomy), poor prognosis and risk of death (gastrostomy), increased treatment failures because of blocking, displacement and reinsertion need of the nasogastric tube, and increased incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding (nasogastric tube). From the results obtained in this systematic review, we emphasize the following evidences: a nasogastric catheter should be adopted as a method of early enteral feeding; treatment failures are more common in those who use nasogastric tube-feeding; outcomes related to improved functional status of patients were similar, regardless of the method of nutritional therapy used.
