several technologies can be used to image the oropharyngeal reagion: (name all 4)
|
ultrasound, videoendoscopy, videofloroscopy, scintigraphy
|
|
ultrasound studies of the oral cavity have been used to observe _______ funciton and to measure ___________, as well as motion of the _______
|
tongue function, oral transit times, motion of the hyoid bone
|
|
ultrasound cannot visualize _______
|
the pharynx
|
|
the inibility to image the pharynx has limited the application of ultrasound to the study of _____ stages of the swallow
|
oral
|
|
videoendoxcopy has been used to examine
|
the anatomy of the oral cavity and pharynx from above, and to examine the pharynx and larynx before and after swallowing
|
|
endoscopy does not visualize the _____ stage of the swallow
|
oral
|
|
the advantage of videoendoscopy is that
|
there is no radiation exposure
|
|
the videoendoscopy can be used to test _____ awareness by touching the pharyngeal and laryngeal structures
|
sensory
|
|
endoscopy can be used to provide biofeedback to the patient who is having difficulty
|
learning the airway closure maneuvers
|
|
the most frequently used technique in the assessment of oropharyngeal swallow is
|
videofluoroscopy
|
|
videofluoroscopic studies provide information on _________
|
bolus transit times, motility problems, and amount and etiology of aspiration
|
|
videofluoroscopy enables visualization of (3)
|
1. oral activity during chewing and oral stage of swallowing 2. the triggering of the pharyngeal swallow 3. the motor aspects of the pharyngeal swallow
|
|
the videofluoroscopy procedure is called a
|
modified barium swallow
|
|
the modified barium swallow is not designed to _________, but to understand____
|
not to determine whether someone aspirates, but to understand why they aspirate
|
|
once the abnormalities in the patient's anatomy or swallow physiology have been identified, the clinician should
|
introduce treatment strategies during the radiographic study in order to facilitate safe and more effective oral intake
|
|
scintigraphy is a nuclear medicine test in which the patient swallows
|
measured amounts of radioactive substance
|
|
scintigraphy can measure
|
the amount of aspiration and residue. but, the physiology of the mouth and pharynx is not visualized
|
|
scintigraphy can be diagnostic for
|
esophageal aspects of swallowing dysfunction
|
|
electromyography records information from
|
muslces of the floor of the mouth or from muscles involved in laryngeal elevation
|
|
surface EMG of these muscles has been used as a marker of the
|
onset of swallow
|
|
electroglottography (EGG)
|
is designed to track vocal fold movement by recording the impedance changes as the volcal folds move
|
|
Cervical auscultation is
|
listening to and recording the sounds of swallowing, and the sounds of respiration
|
|
pharyngeal manometry allows measurement of
|
intrabolus pressures and the timing of the pharyngeal contractile wave.
|
|
accurate interpretation of pharyngel manometry generally requires _________ of the bolus position in relation to the manometric sensors,
|
visualization
|
|
the pressure sensors in pharyngeal manometry are placed
|
tonge base, upper esophageal sphincter, and cervial esophagus.
|
|
if understanding the patient's pharyngeal anatomy is the question, then
|
rigid videoendoscopy is the best procedure
|
|
if defining the presence (but not the cause) of aspiration is the goal, then
|
flexible fibertropic videoscopy is the procedure
|
|
if understanding pharyngeal physiology in relation to symptoms is the goal, then
|
videofluoroscopy should be used
|
|
if pressure generated during swallowing is the info needed
|
then pharyngel manometry would be used.
