csd ch 11 Flashcards
GER gastroesophageal reflux
the movement of food or acid back into the esophagus; can result from problems/weakness relating to the anatomy of swallowing
4 stages of normal swallowing:
oral preparation, oral, pharyngeal, esophageal
bolus
a substance that is to be digested
22q11.2 deletion syndrome (velocardiofacial syndrome)
frequent congenital heart defects, causing poor feeding endurance, reducing total volume of oral intake
pierre robin sequence (prs)
congenital; small underdeveloped jaw, leads to retracted/elevated tongue & cleft palate, airway compromise
treacher collins syndrome (tcs)
inherited disorder; causes severe anatomical abnormalities of the head and face (cleft lip/palate) airway compromise
tracheostomy
surgical procedure that involves creating a hole in the trachea and inserting a tube, enabling the infant to breathe
hiv/aids
(human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) hiv causes aids. infects white blood cells, brain, skin, other tissues.
odynophagia
painful swallowing (hiv positive children)
silent aspiration
aspiration with no apparent sign/response
aspiration pneumonia
respiratory infection caused when food/liquid enters the lungs
ms multiple sclerosis
cns disorder; affects cranial nerves, cerebellum, spinal cord. unknown cause, typically characterized by periods of both relapse/remission.
tardive dyskinesia
involuntary repetitive facial, tongue, or limb movements; can be caused by antipsychotics
a primary indication of dysphagia in infants:
failure to thrive
vallecula
rooting
turning to the direction of a cheek that is touched
aryepiglottic fold
cervical auscultation
placing a stethoscope on the client’s neck at the level of the vocal folds, used to assess the efficiency of the pharyngeal phase of swallowing
video flouroscopy (modified barium swallow study)
barium injected into substances for client to consume, monitored by x ray
scintigraphy
computerized method used for adults to track the movement of bolus and the amount of residue in the oropharynx, pharynx, larynx, or trachea.
ultrasounds/ultrasonography
imaging technique that uses sound waves at a frequency that is inaudible to human ears, over 20k hertz.
chin tuck posture is recommended for patients with
delayed pharyngeal swallow
head back position is used for patients with
poor tongue mobility
head tilt/head rotation postures are used for
individuals with impairments on one side
