inflated
3 downfalls for swallowing and cuffed trach

2. reduced laryngeal sensativity
3. pressure on esophogus
Fenestrated Trach tube when __
pt has difficulty producing voice

hole in outer cannula
covering the external end of the trach tube during a swallow and after increases airflow, which stimulates ____ and improves______
subglottic sensory receptors and improves vocal fold closure
labial assessment alerts the clinician to __
facial paralysis, lip closure
lingual function identifies ___
limitation in tongue function, best positioning
gurgly voice warrants ___
radiographic exam
hoarse voice is suspect of ___ refer to ___ for a ____
reduced laryngeal closure during swallow

otolaryngologist

laryngoscopy
laryngeal control suggests ___
laryngeal function in the swallowing disorder
borderline laryngeal function treatment options
supraglottic swallow

super-supraglottic swallow
Preperatory examination tells us what?
1. posture that may be best swallow
2. best position for food in mouth
3. potentially best food consistency
4. indication of nature of swallow disorder
delayed pharyngeal swallow;. try
chin duck
tilting head back is okay if
pharyngeal and laryngeal control are good
turn head toward
affected side
head tilt
towards better side

like in lingual hemiparesis or reduction in oral function on one side in addition to pharynx involvement
poor oral control
thickened liquid first
delayed pharyngeal swallow
thicker consistency
reduced tongue base or pharyngeal wall contraction
liquids
reduced laryngeal elevation or reduced ues opening
liquids
reduced closure of laryngeal entrance
thicker consistency
hand position for swallow
index behind mandible anteriorly

middle at hyoid bone

third top of thyroid cartilage

fourth bottom of thyroid cartilage
sensory awareness used for
swallow apraxia, delayed onset of oral swallow, delayed triggering of pharyngeal swallow
supraglottic swallow
closes airway at the level of true vocal folds before and during swallow
super-supraglottic swallow
closes airway entrance before and during swallow
effortful swallow
increase tongue base posterior motion during pharyngeal swallow and improves bolus clearance from valleculae
Mendelsohn maneuver
increase the extent and duration of laryngeal elevation and increases the duration and width of cricopharyngeal opening
Questions to ask after evaluation
1. what type of nutritional management is necessary?
2. should therapy be initiated and what type?
continuous goal of a tx program
is to reestablish oral feeding while maintaining adequate hydration and nutrition and safe swallowing
a patient who aspirates more than ___ of food ______ be on oral feeding
10%

should not
compensatory strategies
control the flow of food and eliminate the pt's symptoms but do not change the physiology of the swallow
5 compensatory strategies
1. postural changes
2. increasing sensory input
3. modify volume and speed of food
4. change good consistency or viscosity
5. introduce intraoral prosthetic
chin-down
pushes anterior pharyngeal wall posteriorly

tongue base and epiglottis push closer to posterior pharyngeal wall

airway entrance narrowed

vallecular space widened
chin-down helpful for
delay in triggering pharyngeal swallow

reduced tongue base retraction

reduced airway entrance closure
chin-up
drain food from oral cavity
chin-up helpful for
reduced tongue control
head rotation
rotate to damaged side

closes damaged side of pharynx

pushes damaged side toward midline increase adduction of vf
head rotation helpful for
unilateral pharyngeal impairment

unilateral vocal fold weakness
chin down and head rotation
best protection
head tilt used when
both a unilateral oral impairement and unilateral pharyngeal impairment on the same side
head tilt
towards better side
lying down used for
bilateral reduction in pharyngeal wall contraction or reduced laryngeal elevation

residue in pharynx aspirated after swallow
oral sensory awareness tech used for
swallow apraxia
tactile agnosia for food
delayed onset of oral swallow
reduced oral sensation
delayed triggering of the pharyngeal swallow
types of sensory enhancements
increase downward pressure of spoon
present sour bolus
present cold bolus
bolus requiring chewing
larger bolus
thermal-tacile stimulation
