Background: The objective of the present study is to observe the effect of frequency of changing nasogastric feeding tube (NG-FT) on microbial growth in relation to development of neonatal sepsis in premature newborns. The study is prospective observational study in its nature. Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a tertiary care teaching hospital of western Gujarat, India, from December 2016 to November 2017.Methods: Eighty-five preterm newborns admitted to NICU for feeding support were randomly divided into three groups depending on frequency of changing nasogastric feeding tubes (Group I, II and III with NG-FT changed every 12, 24 and 48 hourly respectively). In Groups I, II and III, the first NG-FT cultures were sent at the end of 12, 24, 48 hours of NG-FT insertion respectively. The second and third NG-FT cultures were sent after 7 and 14 days respectively. Microbial growth pattern was observed and correlated with development of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), neonatal sepsis and mortality.Results: Microbial growth on first NG-FT culture significantly increased when frequency of changing nasogastric feeding tube was reduced from every 12 to 24 or 48 hours {p = 0.0432 (Group I vs II) and 0.0001 (Group I vs III)}. Microbial growth increased on second (24.1%, 87% and 85% in groups I, II and III respectively) and third NG-FT culture (44% in group I and 100% in groups II and III); this was significantly high in group II and III as compared to group I (p = 0.0001). Common organisms isolated were Klebsiella pneumonia (63.28%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (32%) and Escherichia coli (21%). No significant difference was noted in incidences of feeding intolerance, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), neonatal sepsis and mortality among the three groups.Conclusions: Organism growth in nasogastric feeding tube culture increases significantly when frequency of changing NG-FT is beyond 12 hours. However, there is no increase in episodes of feeding intolerance, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), neonatal sepsis and mortality.

Risk Predictors

Background: Acquired dysphagia is common in patients with tracheal intubation and neurological disease, leading to increased mortality. This study aimed to ascertain the risk factors and develop a prediction model for acquired dysphagia in patients after neurosurgery.Methods: A multicenter prospective observational study was performed on 293 patients who underwent neurosurgery. A standardized swallowing assessment was performed bedside within 24 h of extubation, and logistic regression analysis with a best subset selection strategy was performed to select predictors. A nomogram model was then established and verified.Results: The incidence of acquired dysphagia in our study was 23.2% (68/293). Among the variables, days of neurointensive care unit (NICU) stay [odds ratio (OR), 1.433; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.141–1.882; P = 0.005], tracheal intubation duration (OR, 1.021; CI, 1.001–1.062; P = 0.175), use of a nasogastric feeding tube (OR, 9.131; CI, 1.364–62.289; P = 0.021), and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)-II C score (OR, 1.709; CI, 1.421–2.148; P < 0.001) were selected as risk predictors for dysphagia and included in the nomogram model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.980 (CI, 0.965–0.996) in the training set and 0.971 (0.937–1) in the validation set, with Brier scores of 0.045 and 0.056, respectively.Conclusion: Patients who stay longer in the NICU, have a longer duration of tracheal intubation, require a nasogastric feeding tube, and have higher APACHE-II C scores after neurosurgery are likely to develop dysphagia. This developed model is a convenient and efficient tool for predicting the development of dysphagia.
