Changes in Arterial Oxygen Saturation (SaO2) Before, During, and After Meals in Stroke Patients in a Rehabilitation Setting

The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in arterial oxygen saturation (SaO 2 ) of stroke patients during mealtime and whether duration of feeding (time to finish a meal) and mode of feeding (self-feed versus being fed) were associated with such changes. This study also investigated whet...

Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in arterial oxygen saturation (SaO 2 ) of stroke patients during mealtime and whether duration of feeding (time to finish a meal) and mode of feeding (self-feed versus being fed) were associated with such changes. This study also investigated whether the consequence of aspiration pneumonia in the stroke patients was associated with SaO 2 drops during mealtime. The findings of this study showed that stroke patients but not the controls had a small but significant SaO 2 drop during meals (0.91%, IQR = 1.53%, p
