Abstract

Objective To explore the application effect of the "ASK-T" aspiration prevention management model in reducing the risk of aspiration in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated by dysphagia. Methods 196 of 409 COPD patients with aspiration risk admitted to the Respiratory Disease Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine Higher Education Mega Center Hospital from July 2021 to June 2024 were selected as the study object, and 102 COPD patients with aspiration risk admitted from July 2021 to December 2022 were set as the pre-improvement group. The patients in this group received the original nursing process and management mode of the department during hospitalization. 94 COPD patients with aspiration risk admitted from January 2023 to June 2024 were set as the improved group, and the patients in this group were introduced into the department and implemented an innovative improvement project: "ASK-T" anti-aspiration management mode and then received nursing management. Patients in both groups were observed and followed up for 4 weeks. The risk grade of aspiration, SSA score, DHI score, aspiration pneumonia and aspiration pneumonia, nutritional status and satisfaction after intervention were compared between the two groups. Result The comparison showed that after the implementation of improvement measures, the aspiration risk grade of patients in the improved group was significantly lower than that in the pre-improvement group (P < 0.05), and the SSA score, DHI score and total DHI score of patients in the 2 groups were significantly lower than that before intervention (P < 0.05). The SSA score, DHI score and DHI total score in the improved group were lower than those in the pre-improved group (P < 0.05). The results of 4-week follow-up showed that the scores of NRS-2002 for nutritional risk screening in 2 groups were lower than before intervention (P < 0.05), and the scores of NRS-2002 for nutritional risk screening in the improved group were significantly lower than those in the pre-improvement group (P < 0.05). The comparison showed that the incidence of aspiration and aspiration pneumonia in the improved group was lower than that in the pre-improved group (P < 0.05), and the satisfaction score of patients with the relevant preventive measures was higher than that in the pre-improved group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The "ASK-T" aspiration prevention management model, when applied in the nursing of elderly patients with COPD complicated by dysphagia, can significantly reduce the risk of aspiration and the incidence of aspiration pneumonia, effectively improve patients' swallowing function and quality of life, and enhance their nutritional status. Furthermore, this model significantly improves patient satisfaction with intervention measures, providing a scientific and effective management strategy for clinical nursing of elderly patients with COPD complicated by dysphagia. It is worthy of promotion and application in clinical practice.
