– Begins when food/liquid enters mouth (lips sealed)
– Tongue and cheek muscles move material for mastication
– Saliva softens food to help create a bolus
– Posterior tongue action that moves the bolus back
– Ends when bolus passes through anterior faucial arches and swallowing reflex is initiated

A

a clinical procedure that uses a stethoscope to amplify swallowing sounds to assess the pharyngeal phase of swallowing and its interaction with breathing.

60
Q

  • Stethoscope to listen to the neck area during a swallow
  • SLP makes perceptual judgement about swallowing function
  • Compare sound of normal swallow to sound of
    disordered swallow
61
Q

which phase of Assessment of Dysphagia can be considered contreversial ?

A

Clinical Assessment

62
Q

what do Clinical Assessment provide information about ?

− Head and body posture
− Laryngeal functioning
− Caregiver and environmental factors
− Cognitive and communicative functioning

63
Q

what are the areas of concern of clinical assessment ?

A
  • Observed difficulties during eating or drinking
  • Appears to be at risk for aspiration
  • Appears to not be receiving adequate nourishment
64
Q

if we see difficulty or are concerned in a clinical assessment, what do we refer to ?

A

refer for instrumental assessment

65
Q

what are some instruments used for assessments ?

A
  • Videofluoroscopic Swallowing
    Study
  • Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation
    of Swallow (FEES)
  • Ultrasound
  • Electromyography
66
Q

what is the Videofluoroscopic Swallowing study, assessment of dysphagia ?

A

AKA Modified Barium Swallow Study
- Barium on food or in liquid
- X-ray recorded for later analysis
- Used for determining
- readiation exposure
» Oral vs non-oral feeding
» Safest food textures (thin liquid could be worse than thick)
» Appropriate therapies

67
Q

what is the Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallow (FEES), assessment of dysphagia ?

A
  • Flexible laryngoscope through nose into pharynx
  • Swallow dyed food (blue or green)
  • May reveal premature spillage,
    airway closure
68
Q

what is the ultrasound assessment of dysphagia ?

A

Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of structures inside the body. In the context of dysphagia, ultrasound is primarily used to assess oral and pharyngeal swallowing mechanics.

69
Q

what is the Electromyography assessment of dysphagia ?

A

Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic tool used to measure the electrical activity of muscles. It can be applied to assess the function of muscles involved in swallowing, specifically those in the pharyngeal and laryngeal areas.

70
Q

in simplest way, what is Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallow (FEES) ?

A

alternative to x-ray barrium swallowing

71
Q

in the Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallow (FEES) instrumental assessment, why do we dye the food blue or green

A

dye good to see the residue post swallowing

72
Q

what does the Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation
of Swallow (FEES) provide information about ?

A

Provides information about. :
– Desirable posture
– Preferred food types
– Aspiration

73
Q

what is one reason that Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallow (FEES) could be considered better than a Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study ?

A

because it is less risky cause there is no radiation

74
Q

what is a tradeoff about doing a Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallow (FEES) rather than a Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study ?

A

you cannot see to confirm aspirating (we cannot see like we can on x-ray

75
Q

how does Ultrasound Assessment of Dysphagia work ?

A

High-frequency sound waves are directed at the throat and mouth during swallowing. The ultrasound waves are reflected off the tissues, creating real-time images (or videos) of the structures involved in swallowing.

76
Q

how does Electromyography (EMG) for Dysphagia work ?

A

Small electrodes are placed on the skin (surface EMG) or inserted into muscles (intramuscular EMG) to detect electrical signals produced by muscle activity. These signals are recorded and analyzed to assess the timing, strength, and coordination of muscle contractions during swallowing.

77
Q

what are some advantages of ultrasound Assessment of Dysphagia ?

A
  • Non-invasive and safe, with no radiation.
  • Can be used at the bedside, making it accessible for patients who may have difficulty going to a radiology department.
  • Allows for real-time imaging of swallowing.
78
Q

what are some limitations of ultrasound Assessment of Dysphagia ?

A
  • Limited ability to view deeper structures such as the esophagus.
  • May not provide detailed information about the larynx or vocal cords.
79
Q

what are some advantages of Electromyography (EMG) assessment of dysphagia ?

A
  • Provides valuable information about muscle function and the neurological control of swallowing.
  • Can help in diagnosing neuromuscular disorders that affect swallowing, such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
80
Q

what are some limitations of Electromyography (EMG) assessment of dysphagia ?

A
  • Invasive when using intramuscular electrodes.
  • Provides limited information on the anatomical structures involved in swallowing (unlike ultrasound or video fluoroscopy).
81
Q

what does ultrasound Assessment of Dysphagia assess?

A
  • Oral phase duration
  • Structure/movement of hyoid bone and tongue
    (put it under tongue to see)
82
Q

what does Electromyography (EMG) assessment of dysphagia assess ?

A
  • Assesses muscle functioning during swallow
  • Invasive
  • More typical in research settings
    (procedure that allows us to access muscle functioning during swallowing but it is more invasive
83
Q

what are the 4 main treatments of dysphagia ?

A
  1. Indirect treatment
  2. Direct treatment
  3. Medical treatment
