What can help someone that presents with decreased laryngeal elevation? | Chin tuck, supraglottic swallow, laryngeal elevation exercises and Mendhelson maneuver |
What causes penetration after the swallow and what can help? | Caused by residue dripping, can be cured by a liquid wash if it is not too much |
What causes aspiration before the swallow? | Swallow delay or premature spillage |
What causes aspiration during the swallow? | decreased laryngeal elevation or closure |
What can help a patient with decreased laryngeal elevation or closure? | Super supraglottic swallow and baring down therapy |
What causes aspiration after the swallow and what would the SLP advise? | Residue *must change to a safer consistency diet |
A patient has received a hemi-laryngectomy due to cancer, what compensatory strategy would you use? | Head turn to the damaged side |
A patient has received a supraglottic laryngectomy due to cancer, what compensatory strategy would you use? | Chin tuck or super supraglottic swallow |
Your patient presents with a subcortical CVA, what therapy/compensatory strategies would you use? | Thermal tactile stimulation, BOT exercises, and laryngeal elevation |
What would help a patient with a left cortical CVA? | Oral Sensory awareness therapy |
What would help a patient with a right cortical CVA? | Thermal tactile stimulation, chin tuck and laryngeal elevation exercises and supraglottic swallow |
After suffering a stroke in the brainstem, what would help your patient? | Chin tuck and head turn to the damaged side due to unilateral weakness |
What signs indicate possible aspiration? | Throat clearing, wet voice, respiratory changes, general discomfort |
What is the safest consistency to aspirate on? | Thin liquids |
What do you observe during a beside swallow evaluation? | Acceptance, lip closure, anterior spillage, mastication, bolus formation, bolus propulsion, oral residue, oral transit time, swallow response, number of swallows per bolus, hyolaryngeal elevation, regurgitation, pain/discomfort, cough, throat clearing |
How would you treat a baby with a delayed swallow response? | Thermal stimulation with oral or non-oral feeds |
What treatment would help a baby with decreased bolus formation? | Thickening the liquid, providing a single bolus or providing small boluses |
How would you treat aspiration during the swallow for a baby? | Laryngeal elevation/closure and thickening feeds |
How would you treat residue/aspiration after the swallow in a baby? | Improve pharyngeal pressure with a palatal obturator |
How would you increase a the oral-facial muscle tone in a baby with hypotonia? | Tapping, vibration or quick stretch of masseter and buccinator muscles |
How would you treat excessive jaw movement in a baby? | Postural support, external support & increased neck flexion |
How would you treat a baby with oral-facial hypertonia? | Firm pressure or shaking/vibration |
What is the chin-up posture used for? | Uses gravity to move material out of mouth; decreased tongue control and slow oral transit time |
What is the chin-tuck posture used for? | Decreased BOT retraction, airway closure, swallow delay; widens valleculae and narrows airway entrance |
What is the head turn to the damaged side used for? | Twists the pharynx and closes damaged side; used with unilateral impairment |
What is the head tilt to the stronger side used for? | Uses gravity to direct the bolus into pharynx; for unilateral oral and pharyngeal impairment, clears residue |
What is the reclined on back posture used for? | Gravity changes the position of the bolus; used for decreased bilateral pharyngeal wall contraction and reduced laryngeal elevation |
What is oral sensory awareness used for? | Used with swallow apraxia, tactile agnosia, delayed swallow or decreased oral sensation |
What are some types of oral sensory awareness therapy? | Downward pressure of spoon on tongue, sour bolus, cold bolus, larger volume bolus |
How does the suck-swallow help patients? | Exaggerated suck with mouth closed followed by a swallow facilitates pharyngeal swallow |
How does the supraglottic swallow help patients? | Closes VF before and during the swallow ; decreased VF closure and delayed swallow |
What does the super supraglottic swallow maneuver accomplish? | help close the airway |
What are some pharyngeal exercises? | BOT exercises, Masaka Manuever |
When would you advise a patient to use the Shaker Method? | Used for decreased UES opening |
What is a special feature of HIV? | esophageal dysphagia and odynophagia due to thrush |
Fred is a 63 year old Male. He was admitted into the hospital due to a collapsed lung and had to be intubated. Doctors finished his operation and he is now stable. Fred has been extubated. When should you do a bedside swallow evaluation? Why? | A minimum of 4 hours, if after 4 hours he is coughing on thin liquids come back in 24 hours. The tracheostomy tube may have damaged the larynx causing acute temporary dysphagia. |
What are some possible signs that your patient has dysphagia that could be observed during a bedside evaluation? | Unable to recognize food, cannot control food/liquid in mouth, frequent coughing toward end of meal, throat clearing, recurring pneumonia, weight loss, increased secretions |

What dysfunction causes anterior spillage? | Reduced lip closure - oral prep |
Decreased mastication is an indicator of what dysfunction? | Reduced jaw/tongue movement - oral prep |
Decreased bolus hold is due to what dysfunction? | Reduced tongue shaping or coordination - oral prep |
What dysfunction causes decreased bolus formation? | Reduced tongue/cheek ROM and/or coordination - oral prep |
Material falling into the anterior sulcus is an indicator of what dysfunction? | Reduced lip tension/tone - oral prep |
What dysfunction causes material to fall into the lateral sulci? | Reduced cheek tension/tone - oral prep |
What dysfunction would cause residue to stay on the FOM? | Reduced tongue shaping/reduced peripheral seal - oral prep |
What is the dysfunction called when a patient holds a bolus in their mouth without attempting to propel it? | Swallow apraxia, food agnosia, reduced oral tension - oral |
Searching tongue movements are a symptom of what? | Swallow apraxia - oral |
