Pre- and post-assessment of participants...
This study investigated the effects, if any, that the presence of a tracheotomy tube has on the incidence of laryngeal penetration and aspiration in patients with a known or suspected dysphagia. This was a prospective, repeated-measure design study. A total of 37 consecutive patients with a tracheotomy tube underwent a fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Patients were first provided...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate radiographically the effects of cervical bracing upon swallowing thin liquids and solid food in normal adults under three cervical bracing conditions. This was a prospective, repeated measures design study. Seventeen healthy adult volunteers between the ages of 30 and 50 were recruited from hospital staff. All subjects reported no previous history of swallowing...
The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare functional dysphagia outcomes following inpatient rehabilitation for patients with brain tumors with that of patients following a stroke. Group 1 (n = 24) consisted of consecutive admissions to the brain injury program with the diagnosis of brain tumor and dysphagia. Group 2 (n = 24) consisted of matched, consecutive admissions, with the diagnosis...
The prolonged voluntary closure of the glottis during the supraglottic and super-supraglottic swallowing techniques may create the Valsalva maneuver. The Valsalva maneuver has been associated with sudden cardiac death and cardiac arrhythmias. This study describes the effects of the supraglottic and super-supraglottic swallowing techniques on the cardiovascular system. Subjects included 23 patients...
