„Patients with prolonged dysphagia anticipated to last for more than 7 days
should receive tube feeding (within 72 hours)
(C)
![Page 22: Nutrition in Acute Stroke Andreas H. Leischker, M.D., M.A. Head Working Group „Neurology“, German Society for Nutritional Medicine Working Group „Nutrition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ed35503460f94be36fe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Dysphagia Screening
• Water Swallowing Test ( WST)
• Multiple Consistency Test( Gugging Swallowing Screen,GUSS)
• Swallowing Provocation Test
![Page 23: Nutrition in Acute Stroke Andreas H. Leischker, M.D., M.A. Head Working Group „Neurology“, German Society for Nutritional Medicine Working Group „Nutrition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ed35503460f94be36fe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Dysphagia Screening
• Screening for malnutrition should start as early as possible, on the latest within 48 hours after admission (C)
• When the patient is in a clinically stable condition, the screening is repeated in weekly intervals during the first month. When the clinical condition changes, screening should be repeated earlier (C).
AWMF Leitlinie 2007
![Page 24: Nutrition in Acute Stroke Andreas H. Leischker, M.D., M.A. Head Working Group „Neurology“, German Society for Nutritional Medicine Working Group „Nutrition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ed35503460f94be36fe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Assessment
Stroke patients without pathological findings in the initial bedside testing (dysphagia screening) should be referred
to a further swallowing assessment if other known clinical predictors of dysphagia are present, such as
• a severe neurological deficit,• marked dysarthria or aphasia • a distinct facial palsy
Grade C Recommendation
![Page 26: Nutrition in Acute Stroke Andreas H. Leischker, M.D., M.A. Head Working Group „Neurology“, German Society for Nutritional Medicine Working Group „Nutrition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ed35503460f94be36fe/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Good news:Prevalence of dysphagia following
acute stroke• First day: about 50 %
• After six weeks:6,7 %
• After six months: 3,2 %
N.B.: About 10 % of patients get second stroke within the first week after admission !

At least once per month during the first 6 months

If a sufficient oral food intake is not possible during the acute phase
of stroke, enteral nutrition should be preferably given via a nasogastric tube
![Page 36: Nutrition in Acute Stroke Andreas H. Leischker, M.D., M.A. Head Working Group „Neurology“, German Society for Nutritional Medicine Working Group „Nutrition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ed35503460f94be36fe/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
“Tube feeding does not interfere with swallow training. Therefore, dysphagia therapy shall
start as early as possible also in tube fed patients”
Grade A
![Page 37: Nutrition in Acute Stroke Andreas H. Leischker, M.D., M.A. Head Working Group „Neurology“, German Society for Nutritional Medicine Working Group „Nutrition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ed35503460f94be36fe/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
If enteral feeding is likely for a longer period of time (> 28 days),
a PEG should be chosen and placed in a stable clinical phase
(after 14 – 28 days) (A).

If a nasogastric tube is rejected, not tolerated or repeatedly removed by the patient and if artificial nutrition will probably be necessary for more than 14 days, early feeding via PEG
should be started (C).
