Summary of the Best Evidence for Tube Feeding Intolerance in Critically Ill Children

Objective:To summarize the evidence of tube feeding intolerance in critically ill children,aiming to provide evidence-based information for clinical nursing staff.Methods:Evidence search was done in Chinese and English databases to guide network and professional associations at home and abroad.The search time limit was from January 2014 to January 2024,nearly 10 years of relevant literature,mainly including guidelines,consensus,expert advice,best practice,evidence summary,system evaluation,and meta-analysis.Literature quality evaluation and evidence extraction were independently performed by two researchers.Results:This paper included 13 articles,including three guidelines,three systematic evaluations,three expert opinions,and four expert consensus.Twenty-six pieces of evidence were summarized from 10 aspects of feeding intolerance definition,team building,nutritional assessment,nutritional preparation,feeding protocol,feeding route,feeding management,pipeline management,gastric residual volume,and drug application.Conclusion:This paper summarized the evidence of tube feeding intolerance in critically ill children,which can provide evidence-based information for clinical practice.The abdominal signs should be closely observed when evaluating feeding intolerance,focusing on the prevention and reduction of feeding interruption.

Summary of the Best Evidence for Preoperative Pre-Rehabilitation in Patients with Lung Cancer Complicated with COPD

Objective: To search, evaluate and integrate the best domestic and foreign evidence on the preoperative pre-rehabilitation of lung cancer patients with COPD, and summarize the best evidence. Methods: Cochrane Library, BMJ Best Practice, JBI Center for International Cooperation in Evidence-Based Health Care Library, and Up to were searched by computer system Date, Embase, CINAHL, PubMed, Evidence-Based Health Care Center Database (JBI), American Guidenet, Global Guidenet, CNKI, CMBM, Wanfang, and VIP databases on preoperative pre-rehabilitation of patients with lung cancer and COPD. Literature screening and quality evaluation were conducted independently by two researchers, and evidence was extracted, summarized and summarized according to the theme. Results: A total of 13 kinds of literature were included, including 4 guidelines, 4 systematic reviews, 3 evidence summaries, and 2 expert consensus articles. This paper summarizes 44 best evidence on pre-rehabilitation of lung cancer patients with COPD, including 8 aspects: pre-rehabilitation content and principle, pre-rehabilitation assessment, exercise rehabilitation, nutrition management, psychological guidance, health education, multidisciplinary cooperation, quality control and follow-up. Conclusion: The best evidence of preoperative pre-rehabilitation for patients with lung cancer complicated with COPD is rich in content, and needs to be selected according to the characteristics of the hospital and the clinical environment. Some of the evidence still needs to be confirmed by higher-quality studies. .

Summary of the Best Evidence for the Evaluation and Management of Chemotherapy-Related Nausea and Vomiting in Cancer Patients

Objective: To summarize the best evidence for the evaluation and management of chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting in cancer patients, so as to promote the standardized management of chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. Methods: A computer search was conducted for all evidence on chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting interventions, including guidelines, expert consensus, best clinical practice information booklet, recommended practice, evidence summary, and systematic review. The search period is from April 30, 2022. After the literature quality evaluation, the evidence extraction and summary of the literature meeting the quality standards. Results: A total of 16 literatures were included, including 9 guidelines, 5 systematic reviews and 2 expert consensus papers. 46 pieces of best evidence on the assessment and management of chemotherapy related nausea and vomiting in cancer patients were summarized, including 6 aspects including risk assessment and management, non-drug management, drug management, multidisciplinary cooperation, education and training, and health education. Conclusion: This study summarized the current best evidence on the assessment and management of chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. Clinical staff should apply evidence according to specific clinical scenarios, professional skills and patients’ wishes in order to reduce the degree and incidence of chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting in cancer patients and improve the quality of care.

Evidence summaries for nutritional screening of head-and-neck cancer patients

The guidelines for nutritional screening of head-and-neck cancer patients were systematically searched and screened from BMJ Best Practice,National Comprehensive Cancer Network,Britain's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence,National Guideline Clearinghouse,Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network,Guidelines International Network,New Zealand Guidelines Group,Australian National Health and Medical Research Council,Medlive,PubMed,Embase,CINAHL,China Biology Medicine,VIP,Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure,and Wanfang.Four researchers evaluated the quality of the included literature and extracted evidence from the literature that met the quality standards.Finally,a total of six guidelines were included and ten best evidences were concluded.As only one guideline in this study is from China,and the rest are from other countries,the applicability and effectiveness of some evidence in the Chinese population still need to be further explored and studied.Therefore,when using evidence,medical staff should make appraisal on working environment in their hospital,factors that facilitate or hinder the use of evidence,and willingness of patients,and thus scientifically provide the best evidence for the management of clinical nutrition for head-and-neck cancer patients and provide a reference for the establishment of the standard process of nutritional screening for head-and-neck cancer patients.
