61. FHA : The Patient Education Forum : Swallowing Problems/Dysphagia
    Patient Education Forum Swallowing Problems/dysphagia by Faerella Boczko, MS, CCCSLP,Director Speech-Language Pathology, Jewish Home and Hospital Life Care  
    http://www.healthinaging.org/public_education/pef/swallowing_problems.php
    
    Extractions: Dysphagia is another term for swallowing problems. A person who has dysphagia may experience pain when trying to swallow. Others may have difficulty swallowing food, liquid or saliva, and some people may be unable to swallow at all. How does the swallowing process work? Swallowing is a complex process that moves food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach. Swallowing involves the use of many nerves and muscles in the lips, tongue, mouth, throat, and esophagus, which is the tube that connects your throat to your stomach.

    http://www.bfe.org/protocol/pro06eng.htm
    
    Extractions: Introduction Treatment Protocol Treatment of oral-pharyngeal swallowing impairment relies on accurate diagnosis. Thus any treatment protocol should be preceded by a thorough diagnostic evaluation by a qualified speech language pathologist. Specific exercises for the treatment of neurophysiological deficits have been described in the dysphagia literature(1,10,11). The scope of this protocol does not include an exhaustive description of dysphagic abnormalities and the associated treatment strategies of choice. It will encompass description of those treatment strategies that are appreciably enhanced by biofeedback monitoring. Using MyoDac 2TM / MyoCompTM The MyoComp System, as well as other computer assisted EMG Biofeedback Systems, allows for long-term storage of patient biographical, insurance and medical information on a separate diskette. This is accessed through the database mode on the main menu. In addition, a progress note section enables the therapist to store session information regarding the nature of treatment provided, the patients response to treatment, and other pertinent information. This information can be added to the diskette before or after a session through the monitoring mode on the main menu.

Sekar 5.1 Description page 8 Dysphagia means difficulty in swallowing. Some patients describe food sticking in the throat or retrosternally. 5.2 Important Historical Points and Differential Diagnosis page 8 Infections of the esophagus can also cause difficult swallowing. Infections, usually due to Candida albicans or herpes virus, are often accompanied by significant pain on swallowing, termed odynophagia . Often the odynophagia is so severe that the patient even has difficulty swallowing his or her saliva. Although herpes esophagitis can occur in relatively healthy patients, Candida esophagitis is associated with diabetes, an underlying malignancy or immunosuppression. The patient may point to the site of obstruction, but this is not always reliable. A stricture of the lower esophagus may be experienced at the xiphoid area or as high as the throat. Upper esophageal obstruction is experienced high in the throat region, not low in the chest.

    Extractions: If you've ever gulped a cup of coffee while simultaneously searching for car keys, packing lunch for a 5-year-old and giving directions over the phone, you probably didn't notice that a miracle was occurring literally underneath your nose. "Dysphagia may be the first sign that a neuromuscular disease is present." Swallowing is a seemingly simple but extraordinary act, one we usually take for granted at least until something goes wrong with the process. Dysphagia which isn't a disease in itself but the medical term for a disruption to the normal swallowing process can lead to a number of serious effects, some gradual and some that are immediately life- threatening. Various diseases in the muscular dystrophy family have been known to cause dysphagia, including the oculopharyngeal (OPMD), myotonic (MMD), facioscapulohumeral (FSHD) and limb-girdle (LGMD) forms and possibly Duchenne (DMD) in its later stages. Dysphagia is a common feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and occurs in some of the spinal muscular atrophies as well as in polymyositis, myasthenia gravis and Friedreich's ataxia.

Course Information Many health care teams are finding themselves with limited access to Speech-Language Pathologists who can provide dysphagia evaluations and treatment. In some cases, this has resulted in delayed or missed care. The Occupational Therapist is an excellent candidate to fill this role, incorporating dysphagia care into the treatment plan along with ADL and feeding goals. The school-based SLP who has limited use of dysphagia techniques may need a refresher before feeling comfortable in the long term care setting.

    Extractions: Dysphagia, or swallowing disorders, can be caused by a variety of medical conditions, such as neurological disorders, head and neck cancer, or traumatic brain injury. As a result of dysphagia, patients may have difficulty eating food, drinking, or even with managing their secretions. These problems can occur gradually or all of a sudden, and may vary in level of severity. In more severe cases, aspiration occurs, which means that the food or liquid will go down the air tube (trachea) as opposed to the food tube (esophageous). The normal swallowing sequence The process of swallowing involves the interaction of more than 20 muscles and several nerves. Swallowing is broken down into four phases: the oral prepartory phase (chewing and preparing to swallow), the oral phase (moving the food/liquid to the back of the mouth with the tongue), the pharyngeal phase (moving the food over the back of the tongue and down the pharnx or throat), and the esophageal phase (the food enters the esophagus). This entire process is completed within a few seconds. However, when impairment arises in any part of this seemingly effortless process, a wide variety of difficulties ranging from minimal discomfort to life threatening illness such as malnutrition or respiratory infection may occur.

    Extractions: About SW Rehab Contact Us Inpatient Services Outpatient Services ... Stroke Support Southwest Rehab Hospital offers a dysphagia rehabilitation program for patients affected by mechanical, muscular or neurological disorders. The program is conducted by a certified speech language pathologist and utilizes the latest modified barium swallow study (MBSS) technology. The program begins with a Clinical Evaluation of Dysphagia (CED). During evaluation, patients are encouraged to swallow foods of different consistencies and to try different swallowing maneuvers to determine swallow functionality. MBSS is undertaken using a VFSS Imager, the latest fluoroscopic technology which utilizes lower radiation dosages and delivers superior resolution for more accurate motion study. This allows the pathologist to determine highly specific muscle functionality and to design the most effective therapy program. The goal of the therapy program is to help the patient gain as much swallowing ability as possible. Outcome studies indicate that approximately 25% of patients who undergo MBSS can return to safe, oral intake when validated techniques are used. With a combined approach of the MBSS with regular swallowing therapy more than 85% of dysphagic, neurologically-impaired and surgically-treated patients with head and neck cancer can be restored to oral intake. For further information, or to refer a patient, please contact Southwest Rehab Hospital by calling 269.964.5815. We will respond within 24 hours.

ABSTRACT A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 04 March 1999. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: It is unclear how dysphagic patients should be fed and treated after acute stroke. Objectives: The objective of this review was to assess the effect of different management strategies for dysphagic stroke patients, in particular how and when to feed, whether to supplement nutritional intake, and how and whether to treat dysphagia. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Stroke Group trials register, Medline, Embase, ISI, and existing review articles. We contacted researchers in the field and equipment manufacturers. Date of the most recent searches: March 1999. Selection criteria: Unconfounded truly or quasi randomised controlled trials in dysphagic patients with acute/subacute (within 3 months) stroke. Data collection and analysis: Three reviewers independently applied the trial inclusion criteria. Two reviewers assessed trial quality and extracted the data.

    Extractions: This is fairly common problem in my practice. I consider all neuroleptics as having potential to induce parkinsonism. I believe risperidone can produce significant parkinsonism despite the information provided by the drug company. Therefore I would stop the risperidone and follow the patient's course for one to two weeks. If thought disorder becomes problematic then I would use Mellaril or Clozaril if the patient continues to have parkinsonian features. The patient may require diet modification or feeding tube while waiting for the extrapyramidal effects of risperidone to clear. Amantadine, 100-200 mgs. per day may improve parkinsonian symptoms.

"There was something about Mary." Mary, now 6 years old, is the youngest daughter of Hunnicutt and her husband, Timothy. "Remember, I had already gone through two little girls, and I knew all about fussy eaters – or so I thought," Hunnicutt says. "Sure, I knew about tossed mashed potatoes, overturned bowls of spaghetti and little noses turned up at whatever we were offering. But with the older girls, the worst we had to handle was a 'raspberry' blown with a mouth full of peas." "With Mary, eating dinner was living on the edge," Hunnicutt says. "She would have a hard time chewing even the softest of meals. Sometimes she would choke, her eyes would water and her breathing would slow. Eventually, she wouldn't want to eat at all. With that experience, who could blame her?" Dissecting Dysphagia Mary – and an estimated six to 15 million people in the United States, many of them children – is a victim of dysphagia, a mechanical dysfunction that manifests in a difficulty to chew or swallow. "Simply stated, a person with dysphagia is unable to pass food or liquid rapidly or efficiently from the mouth to the stomach," says Michael E. Groher, Ph.D., speech pathologist and author of
