CHRONIC: Anorexia, pyrexia,
retrobulbar swelling

History of playing with sticks, active or no known cause

35
Q

pharygeneal trauma treatment and prognosis

A

Removal of foreign material Treatment for secondary infection Surgical repair of injured tissues

PROGNOSIS:
Best if airway or esophagus not injured & ACUTE cases Recurrence occurs if no FB found, esp. difficult with inflammation

Failed treatment with retained or migrating FBs, too short duraiton of antibiotics, permanent damage to oral or pharyngeal structures

36
Q

Oral Swallowing phase

A

Oral (CN 5, 7, 12)

 Prehend food and form bolus which moves to end of tongue

37
Q

Pharyngeal- swallowing phase

A

Pharyngeal (CN 9, 11)
 Propel bolus along pharynx
 Closure of the larynx by epiglottis & inhibition of breathing  UES sphincter opens (cricopharyngeal muscle)

38
Q

Esophageal- swallowing phases

A

Esophageal (CN 9, 10, SNS)  Bolus moves along into stomach

39
Q

what are the clinical signs for oral swallowing phase issues?

A

ORAL: Dropping food and water; difficult to pick up

40
Q

What are the CS for pharyngeal swallowing phase issues?

A

PHARYNGEAL: Retch, cough, gag, food expelled rapidly after attempting to swallow, repeated attempts to swallow

41
Q

What are the CS for esophageal phase issues?

A

ESOPHAGEAL: Retch, gag, expel food quickly after eating or some time later

42
Q

Acquired in adults associated with NM disorders

CxS: repeat attempt to swallow, followed by gag and regurgitation

43
Q

Cricopharyngeal muscle

A
  • Involved in swallowing reflex
  • Inability to relax muscle leads to inability to swallow food or liquid
  • Prevents propulsion of food bolus from caudal pharynx into esophagus
44
Q

What are treatment options for cricopharyngeal dysphagia?

A

SURGERY: Cricopharyngeal Myotomy or

how do we treat esophagitis?

A

TREATMENT

48
Q

treatment/managment of FB

A

GOAL

+/- Sucralfate
+/- Pain management Feed small frequent meals

Monitor for stricture and esophagitis signs

Doramectin (0.4 mg/kg, SQ) every 2 weeks for 6 weeks then monthly until granuloma resolves

Ivermectin (0.6 mg/kg, SQ, two doses 2 wk apart) combined with prednisolone (0.5 mg/kg, PO, bid for 2 wk and then tapered)
