Final Details Part II Flashcards
(T/F) APNED is more restrictive in their soft diet compared to IDDSI’s soft and bite sized
F
IDDSI is more restrictive, only allows crumply foods.
APNED soft allows mixed textures, crumbly foods, crusts and juicy foods
(T/F) APNED has more liberal tender diet compared to IDDSI regular
F
More restrictive in APNED
IDDSI considers regular foods in transitional foods, and allows for all foods except for sauce foods
(T/F) Mixed textures are allowed in IDDSI mixed and moist
F
Allowed in APNED
Mixed Textures in IDDSI are only allowed in Pureed an liquidized
Trigeminal nerve?
Mastication
Facial nerve?
All muscles of facial expression and corneal reflex
Glossopharyngeal nerve? (SG)
Swallow and gag reflex
vagus nerve?
-Cough and Gi activity
Spinal accessory nerve?
Innervation of velum, which will constrict they pharync
Hypoglossal nerve?
tongue control
Submandibular/Submental nodes? (LAF-BG)
Lip, Anterior of Tongue, Floor or mouth, Buccal Mucosa, Gingiva
Upper Jugular nodes? (OLP)
- Oropharynx
- Larynx
- Pharynx
Middle jugular nodes? (LOON-H)
Larynx, oral cavity, oral pharynx, nasopharynx, hypopharynx
Inferior jugular nodes? (HES)
- Hypopharynx
- Esophagus
- Subglottic larynx
What 3 things is dysphagia induced in by H and N cancer?
1) Disruption of normal anatomy
2) Nerve involvement
3) Nerve pain
General dysphagia intervention pre-op H and N cancer?
1) Swallow evaluation, MBS, FEES if necessary
2) Dietary recommendations; HEHP, supplements, increase moisture of foods, chew well, avoid chewy/adhesive foods, SFQM
Compensatory techniques to suggest if dysphagia pre-op is more severe in H and N Cancer?
- Further modification of diet texture and consistency
- Placement of food into the oral cavity
- Use of shortened straws, adapted cutlery
- Effortful swallow, subglottic swallow
When may a tracheostomy be performed?
Both pre and post op
Reasons for prophylactic trach insertion (pre-op)?
1) Obstruction in airway (edema, swelling, cancer0
2) Removal of excess secretions
3) Paralysis of vocal cords in closed position
Why does a trach affect swallowing? (SAME-SAD-C)
- Increased saliva and secretions
- Increased risk of aspiration
- Mobility of tongue reduced
- Elevation of anterior tongue reduced
- Subglottic air pressure decreases
- Abductor and adductors of laryngeal muscle decreases
- Desensitization of oropharynx and larynx due to diverted air flow
- Cough mechanism altered
How can we improve swallowing and speech if trach? (DOD-C)
- Digital occlusion
- One-way speaking valve
- Decannulation
- Capping or plugging valve
- -> Will allow for the restoration of subglottic and transglottic airflow
What is the impact of laryngectomy on swallowing?
Respiration and deglutition are completely separated, resulting in a combination of decreased muscle contractions and air pressure will significantly alter the pharyngeal phase of swallowing. This causes the tongue to compensate and results in a more effortful swallow
Post-op in H and N cancer, what is the best practice?
EN right after surgery unless PENTTS surgery
–> often inserted at time of surgery
What are the 6 surgeries (PENTTS) that do NOT result in EN insertion at time of surgery?
- Parotid gland surgery
- Ear/sinus surgery
- Neck dissection
- TORS
- Thyroidectomy
- Small lip or oral cavity
–>Consider ERAS protocol
Why is EN best practice s/p H and N Sx? (3)
1) Bypass expected swelling and edema
2) Protect a surgical anastomosis
3) Brachytherapy (results in edema of tongue and issues with swallowing)
