Q

What are the three steps needed for airway protection? (hint : think EVIL and inverting)

A
  1. Epiglottis INVERTS to cover larynx
  2. Vocal folds close
  3. Larynx goes upward and then MOVES forward

Q

Dysphagia - provide the meaning + the two broader implications of the word

A

Any issue with the chewing/passage of food through the MOUTH or THROAT that makes an oral intake difficult

  1. Strange/bad movement of material to digestive system
  2. Inhalation of material intended for the digestive system which causes the reaction of coughing

A

anatomical; congenital abnormality

16
Q

Provide the 3 discussed ANATOMICAL causes of dysphagia

A
  1. Cervical osteophytes
  2. Congenital abnormalities
  3. Head and/or neck cancer
17
Q

T or F : Malnutrition is a cause of dysphagia

A

False, it is an IMPLICATION

18
Q

Provide the discussed PHYSIOLOGICAL causes of dysphagia (Hint : NARAL)

A
  1. Neurodegenerative conditions (Parkinson, dementia)
  2. ACQUIRED brain injury
  3. Respiratory conditions
  4. Autoimmune disease (Sjogren)
  5. Laryngeal pathology (artificial airways)
19
Q

T or F : these days, we are NOT able to make artificial processes (e.g. airways)

A

False, endotracheal intubation is an example of this

20
Q

T or F : AGE is a normal cause of dysphagia

A

True

21
Q

How to we assess dysphagia? (3)

A
  1. Screening
  2. Clinical assessment
  3. Diagnostic assessment
22
Q

Which form of assessment for dysphagia is best? Why? (think diagnosis)

A

diagnostic assessment; allows patient to know more about how to TREAT their issue effectively

23
Q

T or F : dysphagia is very capable of causing disruption to one’s daily social life

A

True

24
Q

What are the 3 main goals in treating/managing dysphagia

A
  1. Eliminating risks (also for other med conditions)
  2. Enabling ease/efficiency for oral intake
  3. Getting a safe route for good nutrition/hydration and medication
25
Q

In swallowing assessments, what does VFSS and FEES stand for?

A

videofluoroscopy swallow study; fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing

26
Q

What is a MAIN difference between videofluoroscopy and fiberoptic endoscopic assessments in swallowing

A

VFSS looks at the side view of the face so that you can see the food go down and FEES looks through the NASAL passages to the throat, looking at the vocal folds

27
Q

The 5 treatment strategies for swallowing problems

A
  1. Behavioural (exercises, diet, etc)
  2. Alternative Feeding (feeding tube)
  3. Rehabilitative (active)
  4. Pharmacological (doses)
  5. Surgical (reconstruction)
