Book Pediatric Swallowing and Feeding

Download or read book Pediatric Swallowing and Feeding written by Joan C. Arvedson and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pediatric Swallowing and Feeding: Assessment and Management, Third Edition provides information to practitioners interested in and involved with children who demonstrate swallowing and feeding disorders. Since the 2002 publication of the second edition, there has been an exponential increase in the number of medically fragile and complex children with swallowing/feeding disorders. A corresponding proliferation in the related basic and clinical research has resulted in the increased appreciation of the complicated inter-relationships between structures and systems that contribute to swallowing/feeding development, function, and disorders. Case studies throughout the book provide examples for decision making and highlight salient points. New to the Third Edition: * Maureen A. Lefton-Greif, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, is welcomed as co-editor. She brings extensive research expertise and clinical practice in pediatric dysphagia and feeding. * All chapters contain significant updated evidence-based research and clinical information. * New chapters focus on the genetic testing and conditions associated with swallowing and feeding disorders, and the pulmonary manifestations and management of aspiration. * World Health Organization (WHO) description of an International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) sets the stage for an in-depth discussion of clinical feeding evaluation procedures, interpretation, and management decision making. Pediatric Swallowing and Feeding continues to be the leading text on pediatric dysphagia that provides practical information for clinicians seeing children with swallowing and feeding disorders. The overall importance of an appropriate fund of knowledge and shared experience employing team approaches is emphasized throughout this third edition as in the earlier editions of this book. From the Foreword: "The Editors have recognized the advances and changes in the understanding in the information now available for the care of pediatric swallowing and feeding challenges. They have recruited an outstanding group of contributors for this newest edition. There are numerous critically important updates and additions in the third edition. They have included World Health Organizations International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health is the functional basis in all areas of the book. This text has its importance as there has been an increased number of children with complex medical and healthcare conditions which are risk for feeding and swallowing disorders. This edition stresses the need for team approaches and also documents the use of “virtual” teams ...Pediatric Swallowing and Feeding: Assessment and Management, Third Edition is the fundamental holistic source for all healthcare providers providing the care for swallowing and feeding in children. This book will be utilized by all caring for children with feeding and swallowing problems throughout the world. The previous editions have been and now this updated third edition continues to be the standard source for the information concerning diagnosis and care of these children." —Robert J.

Book Impact of Quantitative Objective Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Measures on Analysis and Recommendations in a Clinical Context

Download or read book Impact of Quantitative Objective Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Measures on Analysis and Recommendations in a Clinical Context written by Gwenda Lake and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Quantitative objective measures are available for use in adult videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) analysis but are yet to be used routinely in clinical settings. The present study describes the introduction of quantitative objective measures to one regional hospital and investigated the impact implementation of objective measurements in VFSS had on diagnosis and recommendations. Methods: One hundred adults (mean 72.3 years, range 34-93, SD 13.7) consecutively referred for a VFSS over 13 months were recruited. Adults presented with varying likely contributors to their dysphagia: 21% nil diagnosis, 17% stroke, 13% gastroenterology, 12% other neurology, 10% respiratory, 8% head and neck cancer, 8% other otorhinolaryngology (ORL), 6% other and 5% cardiology. All adults received a standardised VFSS protocol (1ml, 3ml, 20ml, 100ml liquid barium plus 5ml barium paste) at 30 frames per second. All VFSS were analysed quantitatively using timing and displacement measures developed by Leonard and Kendall (1997) by an independent rater. All VFSS were also analysed separately using a traditional observational approach by a different rater. Both independent raters were provided with age, gender and primary aetiology but no further clinical information. Both independent rater reports were then compared to the reports completed by the patient's treating speech-language therapist (SLT). Ten percent of VFSS were objectively reanalysed to check intra-rater reliability. Ten percent of VFSS were double-blind rated by a year two masters student to check inter-rater reliability. Results: Identification of impairments in pharyngeal constriction, hyoid maximum displacement and pharyngoesophageal segment maximum opening achieved only slight to moderate inter-rater reliability across raters (Kappa (K)=0-0.457). In comparison, intra-rater and inter-rater reliability between objective raters achieved excellent agreement (K=0.767-0.998, 0.773-0.926 respectively). Incidence of impairment across both displacement and timing measures were lower in treating SLTs compared with objective independent raters (p

Book The Yale Swallow Protocol

Download or read book The Yale Swallow Protocol written by Steven B. Leder and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yale Swallow Protocol is an evidence-based protocol that is the only screening instrument that both identifies aspiration risk and, when passed, is able to recommend specific oral diets without the need for further instrumental dysphagia testing. Based upon research by Drs. Steven B. Leder and Debra M. Suiter, an easily administered, reliable and validated swallow screening protocol was developed and can be used by speech-language pathologists, nurses, otolaryngologists, oncologists, neurologists, intensivists and physicians assistants. In addition, the protocol can be used in a variety of environments, including acute care, rehabilitation and nursing homes. The Yale Swallow Protocol meets all of the criteria necessary for a successful screening test, including being simple to administer, cross-disciplinary, cost effective, acceptable to patients and able to identify the target attribute by giving a positive finding when aspiration risk is present and a negative finding when aspiration risk is absent. Additionally, early and accurate identification of aspiration risk can significantly reduce health-care costs associated with recognized prandial aspiration.

Book Videofluoroscopic Analysis to Determine the Effects of Thickened Liquid on Oropharyngeal Swallowing Function in Infants with Respiratory Compromise

Download or read book Videofluoroscopic Analysis to Determine the Effects of Thickened Liquid on Oropharyngeal Swallowing Function in Infants with Respiratory Compromise written by Memorie Mintz Gosa and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In clinical practice, infants who present with dysphagia during instrumental assessment are frequently placed on a diet that includes thickened liquids. There is scant empirical evidence available to support this common treatment practice. Studies that have previously attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of thickened liquids as a treatment option for infants with dysphagia have been limited by poorly defined physiologic parameters and small, heterogenous populations of study. The purpose of this dissertation was to systematically evaluate the effects of thickened liquids in a homogeneous sample of infants through retrospective analysis of archived videofluoroscopic swallow studies. Fifteen different temporal and physiologic measures were recorded from frame by frame analysis of 242 swallows selected from the videofluoroscopic swallowing studies of 25 infants with respiratory compromise. Each subject provided a sample of both thin and nectar thickened liquid swallows for comparison. In total, 121 swallows of thin liquid barium and 121 swallows of nectar thickened liquid barium were analyzed. Significant differences were found among the following variables between swallows of thin liquid barium and swallows of nectar thickened liquid barium: number of sucks per swallow, suck time, oral transit time, time to initiate velar movement, scores on the penetration-aspiration scale, location of the bolus before the swallow, and presence of residue after the swallow. There were greater numbers of sucks per swallow, longer suck and oral transit times, lower mean scores on the penetration-aspiration scale, and longer time to initiate velar movement for swallows of nectar thickened liquid barium as compared to swallows fo thin liquid barium. Bolus material collected at a more inferior location along the upper aerodigestive tract during swallows of the nectar thickened liquid barium. There was greater frequency of residue in the pharynx following swallows fo the nectar thickened liquid barium. The contribution of these variables to overall swallowing safety is discussed. Results point to improved swallowing safety with the use of nectar thickened liquids as a result of prolonging the oral phase of swallowing, thereby reducing the frequency of pharyngeal swallow and opportunities for airway compromise during bottle feeding. .
