Q

Typical symptons of LaryngotracheoEsophageal CLEFT

A

aspiration of thin liquids drunk QUICKLY

25
Q

second most common symptom of laryngomalacia

A

Feeding problems

26
Q

variant of layngo that makes aspiration worse post op

A

neurologic variant laryngo

27
Q

Independent congenital cause for aspiration

delayed passage of food bolus into the esophagus

A

CricoPharyngeal achalasia

28
Q

most common cause of death in cns px

A

aspiration

29
Q

children and adults initiate swallowing during _______ phase
with OBLIGATORY deglutition apnea

A

MID Ex piration

30
Q

Term
less than 6 months of age swallow at

A

VERY end of INspiration
and onset of EXpiration

31
Q

Standard evaluation for direct aspiration for children

A

VideoFLUOROSCOPIC Swallow

32
Q

directly evaluate oral and pharyngel phase

A

Modified barium swallow
Fiberoptic endoscopy

33
Q

Advantage of FEES

A

Evaluates functional ANATOMY of swallow
airway protective ability (even no food)

portable
good feedback

34
Q

Advantage of VSS

A

evaluates ALL phases

widely available

35
Q

disadvantage of VSS

A

LIMITED Anatomy eval
lack sensitivity if less eaten

radiation exposure
not portable

36
Q

disadvantage of FEES

A

BLIND to actual moment of swallow
not widely available
invasive

37
Q

comparison of Vss and fees

A
38
Q

allows superior visualization of laryngeal anatomy

evaluation of laryngeal cleft for aspiration

surgery planning

A

FEES-ST

observes laryngeal adductor response

39
Q

ideal for assessing excessive pooling of oral secretions

vocal cord function

few drops of colored food dye

A

FEES

40
Q

Most extensive studied biomarker in BAL fluid suggesting aspiration
Overall sensitivity and specificity is POOR

A

Lipid-laden macrophage Index

41
Q

Biomarker of aspiration in INTUBATED premature , critical care px, lung transpalant
Most extensively evaluated of gastric origin
High association to Severe BPD

A

GASTRIC PEPSIN

42
Q

Only respi disease correlated to BAL Pepsin

A

Asthma

43
Q

Why is acid suppression not advisable

A

Risk of higher bacterial density
by colonization of the proximal GI tract

44
Q

Most commonly utilized surgical procedure
Successful in resolving reflux
Not advisable in neuro impaired px

A

Fundoplication

45
Q

Transpyloric feeding without the concerns for gas bloating or retching
But with risk of Intus, and displacement

Do not allow bolus feeding and prevent reflux

A

JJ
Jejunostomy feedings

46
Q

Diagnostic

A

Gastrojejunostomy

47
Q

Least commonly recognized form of aspiration

A

CHRONIC ASPIRATION OF SALIVA

48
Q

Syndrome assoc with saliva aspiration

A

CHARGE
Mobius
CHAOS
VCP

49
Q

These conditions aspirate at night because of decreased protective reflexes during sleep and absence of gravity assistance

A

Cricopharyngeal achalasia
Severe esoph dysmotility, stricture or diverticulum

50
Q

One way to evaluate aspiration in patients with tracheostomy
1-2 drops of green food dye in buccal space

A

Radionuclide salivagrams

51
Q

Decreases salivation but thickens secretions causing mucus plugging

A

Oral anti cholinergic medications

52
Q

Responsible for most baseline saliva production

A

SUBmandibular glands
