Education and counseling may be provided concerning issues related to tube feeding, such as appropriate positioning and duration of feeding times. Electrical stimulation uses an electrical current in order to stimulate the peripheral nerve. To PEG or not to PEG. How to Perform: While dry swallowing, squeeze all of the muscles associated with swallowing as hard as possible. Clinicians should be aware that research into the overall efficacy of dysphagia treatment is ongoing; therefore, treatment options may evolve. https://doi.org/10.1016/0003-9993(93)90035-9, Shiga, H., Kobayashi, Y., Katsuyama, H., Yokoyama, M., & Arakawa, I.

Dysphagia, 29(1), 1724. . Monitoring the presence of the signs and symptoms of oropharyngeal and/or esophageal swallowing dysfunction. Knowledge, skills, and clinical experience related to the evaluation and management of individuals with swallowing and swallowing problems may be acquired on the graduate or postgraduate level, in formal coursework, and/or via continuing education. In these instances, team members consider whether the individual will need the alternative source for a short or an extended period of time. Assessment across the life span: The clinical swallow evaluation. Aspiration syndromes: Aspiration pneumonia and pneumonitis. The FEES is a portable procedure that may be completed in outpatient clinic space or at bedside by passing an endoscope transnasally (Langmore et al., 1988). Improved Pharyngoesophageal Segment Opening. Dysphagia is a swallowing disorder involving the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, or gastroesophageal junction. Gather saliva in your mouth or take a sip of water. Evaluation of the natural history of patients who aspirate. Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 46(6), 965987. Examples of exercises include the following: Specific bolus volumes per swallow may result in faster pharyngeal swallow responses (Barikroo et al., 2015). Other studies suggest that dysphagia occurs in 29%64% of stroke patients (Barer, 1989; Flowers et al., 2013; Gordon et al., 1987; Mann et al., 1999). This treatment option is most often used with patients following treatment for head and neck cancer; however, it may be implemented with other patients suffering from similar challenges. PURPOSE To increase tongue base retraction and pressure during the pharyngeal phase of the swallow and reduce the amount of food residue in the valleculae of the throat. (2022). Management of oropharyngeal dysphagia in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. (2000). Please see ASHAs Practice Portal page on Telepractice for further detail. As a member of the interprofessional team, the SLP may contribute to decision making regarding the use of alternative nutrition and hydration. Such knowledge increases pertinent communication with other health care providers and facilitates selection of the best treatment options for individual patients (Groher & Crary, 2010). After swallowing, residual food and liquid in the mouth and throat are likely to overflow into the unprotected airway and cause what is known as aspiration. Breathing and swallowing dynamics across the adult lifespan. The effortful swallow achieves overload through high effort. B., Colantuoni, E., & Needham, D. M. (2017). The benefit of head rotation on pharyngoesophageal dysphagia. The effortful swallowing used in our protocol aims to increase muscle strength, improve coordination, and reduce the posterior movement of the tongue base [ 9 ]. In clinical settings, SLPs typically use one of two types of instrumental evaluation: the videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) or the flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), sometimes also called fiber-optic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing. Pharmacotherapy, 19(8), 974978. (2016). Therefore future studies are needed to examine these factors. Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 56(1), 19. Dysphagia in AIDS. SLPs may work with these patients and caregivers to develop compensatory strategies that will allow the patients to eat an oral diet for as long as they desire. Malnutrition, dehydration, and ancillary feeding options in dysphagia patients. Amathieu, R. et al. Swallow normally, but tightly squeeze your tongue and throat muscles throughout the swallow. Jonsen, A. R., Siegler, M., & Winslade, W. J. Swallow hard.

Recently, the addition of high-resolution manometry (HRM) has enabled the SLP to evaluate In studies in which improvement in swallowing has been identified [90], VitalStimTM was paired with effortful swallow for 1 h sessions completed 5 days per week for 3 weeks. Tongue pressure generation during tongue-hold swallows in young healthy adults measured with different tongue positions. https://doi.org/10.1044/1058-0360(2011/10-0067), Donzelli, J., & Brady, S. (2004). Instrumental procedures may not be indicated in select patients (e.g., a patient with ill-fitting dentures resulting in oral dysphagia or some patients with low levels of alertness who are unable to participate in the study). For example, spiritual practices that involve food and drink might be impacted by diet modifications. Adults with dysphagia may also experience disinterest, reduced enjoyment, embarrassment, and/or isolation related to eating or drinking. Dysphagia in multiple sclerosis. The presence of the two abnormalities indicated that this young patient had cricopharyngeal hypertonicity. After being educated about the risks and benefits of a particular recommendation (e.g., oral vs. non-oral means of nutrition, diet level, rehabilitative technique), if a patient (or their decision-maker) chooses an alternate course of action, the SLP makes recommendations and offers treatment as appropriate. If no treatment is warranted, then the SLP may make recommendations about the safest course of intake (and still document the risks of such action) and may provide training to caregivers and family, as appropriate. World Health Organization. Ultrasonography in assessing oropharyngeal dysphagia. SUPPLIES . During any screening process, the members of the patient care team may note proper posture and positioning for eating, as well as any potential sensory deficits that may affect swallowing. Biofeedback incorporates the patients ability to sense changes and aids in the treatment of feeding or swallowing disorders. It was predicted that both immediate effects on biomechanics and long-term neuromuscular adaptations would be facilitated by maximal overload during this exercise. Consequences of dysphagia include malnutrition and dehydration, aspiration pneumonia, compromised general health, chronic lung disease, choking, and even death. Effects of cuff deflation and one way speaking valve placement on swallow physiology. Prevalence refers to the number of people who are living with dysphagia in a given time period. Archives of OtolaryngologyHead & Neck Surgery, 130(2), 208210.

Study with Quizlet and memorize flashcards containing terms like Effortful swallow - targets, Effortful swallow - contraindications, Effortful swallow - dosage and more. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcrc.2014.07.011, Doeltgen, S. H., Macrae, P., & Huckabee, M.-L. (2011). Instrumental procedures are also used to determine appropriateness and effectiveness of treatment strategies. Repeat this up to 10 times in a single session. 99-E024). (1992). For example, patients with sufficient cognitive skills can be taught to interpret the visual information provided by these assessments (e.g., surface electromyography, ultrasound, flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing [FEES], manometry, Iowa Oral Performance Instrument [IOPI], or mirror) and to make physiological changes during the swallowing process. Therefore, management of dysphagia may require input of multiple specialists serving on an interprofessional team. https://doi.org/10.3748/wjg.v18.i23.2973, Sonies, B. C., Chi-Fishman, G., & Miller, J. L. (2003). Lindgren, S., & Janzon, L. (1991). SLPs should discuss any dietary texture/consistency-related changes with the patient and caregivers who prepare food.

The Journals of Gerontology, Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, 69A(3), 330337. Upon completion of the comprehensive assessment, the clinician uses the acquired data to identify which treatment options would be most beneficial. Swallow while squeezing your throat as hard as you can (pretend that you're swallowing a whole grape) Repeat to fatigue (or in sets of 5-10 swallows, as appropriate) You can also prompt patients to press their tongue hard against their palate . However, clinicians were not concerned about the possible effects of this rehabilitation protocol on cardiac events. OtolaryngologyHead and Neck Surgery, 160(6), 955964. (2001). Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are the preferred providers of dysphagia services and are integral members of an interprofessional team to diagnose and manage oral and pharyngeal dysphagia.

Timing refers to the timing of rehabilitation relative to the onset of dysphagia. determining the effectiveness and possible impact of current diet on overall health (e.g., positioning, feeding dependency, environment, diet modification, compensations). ASHA recognizes the autonomy of SLPs in completing the VFSS. Palliative care teams can assist a patient and/or family in establishing goals of care, which can then guide some of these complex decisions. Patients may also require further assessment or reassessment depending on changes in functional or medical status. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02414429, Langmore, S. E., & Pisegna, J. M.
