    Study Notes

    Final Exam - Study Guide

    • Introduction to Swallowing
      • Safety in swallowing: Swallowing without aspiration or residue
      • Efficiency in swallowing: Swallowing without leaving residue
      • Penetration: Food or liquid enters the airway above the vocal folds
      • Aspiration: Food or liquid enters the airway at or below the vocal folds

    Swallowing Anatomy & Physiology

    • Muscle-Physiological Event Matching (Table Needed): Matches swallowing muscles to their related physiological actions.
    • Muscle-Cranial Nerve Matching (Table Needed): A table that matches swallowing muscles to the cranial nerves that control them.
    • Respiratory-Swallowing Coordination
      • Respiratory abnormalities impact swallowing: Respiratory status needs consideration, as it affects eating and aspiration risk. Tracheostomies may affect swallowing.
      • Airway protection during swallowing:
        • Elevation and anterior movement of hyoid and larynx.
        • Closure of larynx at four levels: Adduction of true vocal folds, Approximation of vestibular folds, Anterior adduction of arytenoids and approximation to base of epiglottis, Epiglottic inversion.
        • Respiratory cessation: Suppression of breathing at brainstem level.

    Neural Control of Swallowing

    • Brainstem's Critical Role in Swallowing: Controls swallowing movements and regulates breathing.
    • Important Brainstem Regions for Swallowing: Specific regions within the brainstem are crucial for proper swallowing control. (Details/table needed)

    Clinical Swallowing Examination (CSE)

    • Goals of CSE:

      • Elucidate symptomatology
      • Determine need and readiness for instrumental swallowing evaluation
      • Examine sensory and motor aspects related to swallowing
      • Determine safety for oral intake and diet recommendation
    • Limitations of CSE:

      • Cannot allow evaluation of the entire swallowing pathway
      • Cannot identify physiologic cause
      • Does not provide complete, comprehensive information
    • Steps in CSE: Chart review, patient/family interview, physical exam (respiratory, nutritional, cognitive, speech-language, oral mech), bolus trials (consistency, swallowing strategies)

    • Cranial Nerves Involved In Swallowing: (Details/table needed). Explains how to access and assess these nerves.

    • Physiological Components Assessed: (The text describes components but lacks specific details to summarize.)

    Instrumental Swallowing Evaluation

    • Goals of MBSS: to determine if patients safely swallow different consistencies.

    • Limitations of MBSS: Limited frequency and length of studies due to radiation exposure; does not assess secretion or sensory function.

    • Advantages of MBSS: Dynamic study of swallow biomechanics (visualization), unlimited review, physiological impairment assessment.

    • Goals of FEES: assess the patient's ability to maintain airway protection during swallowing.

    • Limitations of FEES: Moment of swallow is not evaluated in entirety; Evaluation of bolus management, penetration/aspiration events, and pharyngeal events are incomplete.

    • Advantages of FEES: Real-time visual feedback, visualization of tissue/anatomical structures, and optimal information on residue.

    Swallowing Disorders in Adults

    • Goals of Dysphagia Intervention: Improve or maintain swallowing function, maximize oral intake, facilitate the least restrictive diet, and maximize quality of life.
    • Compensatory vs. Rehabilitation Strategies: Compensation is about improving swallow efficiency/safety without directly targeting physiology. Rehabilitation techniques enhance swallow safety and efficiency by directly targeting physiological aspects.

    Overview of Other Topics (pages 3-10)

    • Instrumental Swallowing Evaluation: Details of methods to evaluate swallowing, including MBSS and FEES.
    • Swallowing Disorders in Adults: Details of diagnostic processes and management.
    • Other Important Clinical Techniques/Maneuvers: Various compensatory and therapeutic techniques are described in detail to aid with swallow dysfunction.

    Additional Topics (pages 10-22)

    • Physiologic Deficits with Compensatory/Rehabilitation Techniques: Several methods to remediate or improve the swallow are detailed with indications, potential effects, and contraindications.
    • Muscular & Neural Function: Assessment of muscles for range of motion, strength, and coordination.
    • Neurophysiological Aspects: Discussion of how neuroplasticity and motor learning aid or hinder dysphagia management.
    • Matching Muscles to Action: Cross-references muscles needed for specific swallowing phases. (Details/table needed)
