Pre Oral Stage

hunger and thirst


see food


smell and knowledge of food


salivation


place food centrally in mouth

oral preparatory stage

mastication of food


lateral/vertical movements of tongue position food between teeth


food mixed with saliva to form bolus




breathing continues


under voluntary control


stage ends with formation of bolus

oral stage

tongue forms central trough which acts as chute for bolus


tongue begins posterior movement of bolus in wavelike contractions


soft palate elevates in preparation for next stage




under voluntary control

pharyngeal stage

swallow triggered when bolus passes faucial arches


soft palate/velum raises fully sealing nasal cavity


base of tongue retracts


bolus moves down pharynx via pharyngeal constriction on wavelike motion


airway protected


cricopharyngeal sphincter opens




breathing stops



three ways airway is protected in the pharyngeal stage

Closure of:


true vocal chords


false vocal chords and arytenoids


epiglottis and aryepiglottic folds

oesophageal stage

bolus enters oesophagus


larynx lowers and airway opens so breathing resumed




stage stops when bolus reaches stomach via lower oesophageal sphincter



how long does the normal swallow take in an average adult?

8-13 seconds

impaired preoral stage

reduced appetite:


- hunger/smell impaired


refusing to eat or drink:


- reduced cognition


- fear or feeling unsafe

impaired oral preparatory stage

bolus not formed/dry mouth


material falls out of mouth:


- reduced lip closure


- tongue thrust


cant chew efficiently/poorly formed bolus:


- weak jaw movement


- poor dentition


coughing:


- premature spillage into larynx


residue in cheeks:


- reduction in cheek tension

impaired oral phase

bolus remains in oral cavity:


- tongue weakness


- bolus not central so can't be propelled backwards


coughing:


- reduced oral control of bolus


- premature spillage into larynx



impaired pharyngeal stage

wet voice:


- pooling in sinus through reduced sensation


multiple swallows per bolus:


- reduced pharyngeal wall contraction


- residue left on pharyngeal walls


bolus comes down nose:


- reduced velopharyngeal closure


absent swallow:


- neurosensory deficit


- absent motor plan for swallow


coughing:


- reduced laryngeal movement

impaired oesophageal stage

food sticking:


- narrowed area of oesophagus


food regurgitation:


- failure of LOS to remain closed, food re-enters oesophagus from stomach


recurrent chest infection:


- material flows from oesophagus into trachea via a fistula

adult causes of dysphagia

respiratory


psychological


structural


neurological

childhood causes of dysphagia

structural


neurological


respiratory


eating and drinking difficulties


movement problems

other disorders associated with impaired swallow

down syndrome


cerebral palsy


autism


dementia


epilepsy


mental illness
