Q

A&P of the pharynx

A

Superior laryngeal nerve and recurrent laryngeal nerve

17
Q

Superior laryngeal nerve

A

Internal —> sensory above cords
External —> motor to cricothyroid muscle

18
Q

Recurrent laryngeal nerve

A

Sensory —> below glottis
Motor —> all other muscles of larynx

19
Q

Vagus - sensory

A

Mucous membrane at the valleculae, epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds and most of the larynx; mucous membrane below the level of the folds; special sensory taste to the epiglottis; general senesory to the soft palate, posterior tongue, lower pharynx and the UES

20
Q

Vagus - motor

A

The pharyngeal constrictors; all the muscles of the soft palate except the tensor veli palatini; salpingpharyngeus; all intrinsic laryngeal muscles; cricothyroid

21
Q

Cough reflex arc

A

Irritation of cough receptors in airways; afferent signals sent to medulla; efferent impulses related to muscles to produce cough

22
Q

Vagus - role in swallowing

A

Pharyngeal sensation; pharyngeal swallow onset; velopharyngeal closure; hyolaryngeal clearance; airway protection; esophageal clearance

23
Q

Spinal accessory - muscles

A

Trapezius and sternocleidomastoic

24
Q

Spinal accessory - motor

A

Reduced ability to turn head and reduced ability to shrug shoulders

25
Q

Spinal accessory- impact on swallowing

A

May later dysphagia management

26
Q

Hypoglossal - motor

A

All intrinsic and extrinsic muscles

27
Q

Hypoglossal - role in swallowing

A

Oral containment; bolts prep; lingual transport; oral clearance; tongue base retraction; pharyngeal clearance

28
Q

Cervical spine nerve - motor

A

Geniohyoid - the primary contributor for anterior movement of the hyoid bone

Thyrohyoid - Supra- and infra-hyoid muscles can be considered secondary muscles of mastication

29
Q

Dysarthria

A

Test diadochokinetic rate

30
Q

Apraxia

A

Ask patient to pretend to blow out match, cluck their tongue, or whistle

31
Q

Aspiration pneumonia causes

A

Inability to self-feed; dependent for oral care; number of decayed teeth; tube feeding; more than one medical diagnosis; number of medications; smoking

32
Q

3 pillars of pneumonia

A
  1. Compromised immune system
  2. The presence of aspiration
  3. Poor oral health
33
Q

Clinical swallow evaluation (CSE)

A
  1. Case history/chart review
  2. Patient observation
  3. Oromotor/CN examination
  4. Swallow trials
34
Q

CSE use

A

Determination of readiness; clinical assessment; instrumental assessment
