I think that the main points are to be very clear that they have choices, and DYSPHAGIA GOALS LONG TERM GOALS - SWALLOWING • Client will maintain adequate hydration/nutrition with optimum safety and efficiency of swallowing function on P.O. Factors affecting oral feeding with severe traumatic brain injury. The cognitive-communication/behavioral issues that influence the ability to safely eat and drink occur across multiple domains, creating challenges for patients attempting to swallow safely and influencing how dysphagia is assessed and managed [9, 40]. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is no more effective than usual care for the treatment of primary dysphagia in children. to decreased LOA [loss of alertness], and please call us should the patient become education. 1993;8:160. Pulmonary aspiration in mechanically ventilated patients with tracheostomies. Factors affecting ability to resume oral nutrition in the oropharyngeal dysphagic individual. Head and neck oncologists often express frustration with the conservative recommendations made by Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and may avoid SLP consultation because of their tendency to recommend NPO status. 2004;19(3):226–40. Similar oromotor presentations have been found in pediatric TBI patients [10, 44, 45]. NMES applies an electrical current to stimulate motor and/or sensory nerves or nerve endings [106]. 2012;17(5):13, 15. VFSS can assess other management approaches where appropriate.

Careful and detailed assessment of the impact of these factors on the dysphagia should guide treatment and management plans. Do you have any approaches or suggestions for educating For many years, a causative link between tracheostomies and dysphagia and aspiration was believed to exist [53–55]. Studies suggested that even in the absence of neurological conditions, patients with tracheostomies risked dysphagia [56]. • Crary MA, Carnaby GD. the concern for a patient who has an increase in mucus with milk products, but I wouldn’t Impact of thermal stimulation on the triggering of the swallowing reflex.

Additionally, these postures are not effective in every patient [78–80] and there is a paucity of rigorous studies to demonstrate their efficacy, outcomes and limitations [78]. Conversely, increasing bolus volume can increase the extent of lingual, submental and pharyngeal movement and cricopharyngeal opening [76]. J Head Trauma Rehabil. 2009;61:200–5. Other less frequently observed deficits include decreased laryngeal elevation [6, 11, 32, 42], reduced base of tongue retraction [11, 42], decreased pharyngeal peristalsis [11, 32], prolonged pharyngeal transit time [41], prolonged oral transit time [11, 41], unilateral pharyngeal paralysis [42], absent or weak reflexive or voluntary cough [6], cricopharyngeal dysfunction [11, 32] and primitive oral reflexes (biting, pursing and rooting) [6].

Post-TBI dysphagia is caused and influenced by a number of factors. The Shaker Head Lift is not a direct swallowing task, but rather requires the patient to repeatedly raise their head and hold from a supine position. The role of fiberoptic endoscopy in dysphagia rehabilitation. Leder SB, Ross DA. our DON [director of nursing] and medical director ahead of time on what evidence This is particularly important when the patient also has impaired swallowing physiology [8, 9, 40]. Much of the research regarding the management and treatment of dysphagia in general is in its infancy: larger and more rigorous studies are required to demonstrate treatment efficacy. Surface electromyography for speech and swallowing systems: measurement, analysis, and interpretation. It’s hard not to judge in these situations Videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS) assesses the speed and coordination of movements during chewing and swallowing in the oral cavity, tongue base, pharynx, hyoid, larynx, and cricopharyngeal region [43].

TREATMENT FOR ORAL AND PHARYNGEAL DYSPHAGIA; WHAT PRINCIPLES AND EVIDENCE SUPPORT IT? Ashford J, McCabe D, Wheeler-Hegland K, Frymark T, Mullen R, Musson N, et al. The variable nature of TBI increases the complexity of dysphagia in these patients: [10] depending on the severity, and neuroanatomical site/s of injury, the resulting dysphagia can range from mild to severe, often necessitating enteral feeding. Nothing by mouth is a medical instruction meaning to withhold food and fluids. [42] reported four risk factors for dysphagia following severe TBI: lower admitting GCS (3–5), lower admitting RLA (levels I or II), tracheostomy and ventilation >2 weeks.

Oral food trials may reveal whether they can accept being fed without becoming agitated [40]. This assesses the oral structures and their functions (e.g., symmetry, sensation), the cranial nerves involved in swallowing, oral hygiene, dentition and, if appropriate, an oral food and/or fluid trial of varying consistencies [62, 63]. Short-term memory and receptive language deficits may inhibit understanding, learning, recall and ability to generalize dysphagia management strategies [8, 9, 33, 40].

Krival: Does this milk issue appear to contribute to a problem? Hansen et al. As attentional skills improve, distractors can be gradually re-introduced to the meal-time environment. CAS  Asking the patient to perform movements in the oromotor assessment provides information about their ability to attend, follow and sequence instructions [40]. Current Dysphagia Therapy Techniques 1. NPO, or nil per os, is also known as ‘nothing by mouth’, and is a medical instruction meaning to withhold fluids and food. This is particularly the case with patients with severe DAI who experience abnormal arousal, attention and cognitive issues [10]. (nothing by mouth) patient with QOC (quality of care) and palliative plan of swallowing? One study, examining TBI dysphagia deficits, commented that reduced tongue control was frequent and severe, whereas reduced pharyngeal peristalsis was less problematic [32]. Patient may require restraints to leave tube in place.” And really, I talk to the Techniques to maximize signal detection and avoid misinterpretation of signals are also important [105].

Krival: Interacting with family and patients is a huge area of discussion in our field, isn’t patient, and he’s so happy eating and drinking, and has fairly low risk parameters The absence of an automatically triggered swallow risks choking or aspirating if they start to speak [40]. Modifying bolus temperature alone will not alter swallowing physiology; [76, 85] however, application of cold and pressure to the faucial arches can increase the speed of the onset of tongue movement and the pharyngeal phase of the swallow in the short-term [86]. However, strategies to target weakness from decreased excitatory input to motor neurons are not well understood [76] or researched. If sensory issues are suspected, modifying bolus temperature, taste and carbonation can be trialed to determine if these strategies assist with bolus detection and improve swallow safety [62]. Despite this, there is a paucity of evidence demonstrating the efficacy of dysphagia management strategies and treatments in this population. Ludlow CL, Mullen R, Hasselkus A. In contrast, TBI is frequently sustained by healthy, young males [28]. Anaesthesia. 1996;16(4):349–53. Swallowing disorders in persons with cerebrovascular accident. Lazarus C, Logemann JA.

Swallowing problems in adults with traumatic brain injury. Typically, NPO status due to dysphagia is an attempt to prevent aspiration, choking and other potential negative consequences of dysphagia (weight loss, dehydration, recurrent UTIs, skin breakdown, fatigue, malnutrition). Dysphagia means difficulty swallowing. [41] In some patients with TBI, the cognitive-communication and behavioral impairments may dictate dysphagia management, rather than the physiological deficits [33]. 2000;110:641–4.
