In this article, I discuss the following: 1) prevalence, aerodigestive symptoms, and significance of feeding difficulties; 2) physiologic considerations; 3) pathophysiologic mechanisms as a basis for symptoms; and 4) the approach to the management of neonatal dysphagia.
Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS) is a radiographic procedure that provides a dynamic view of the swallowing process and is frequently considered to be definitive evaluation for objective assessment of dysphagia in paediatric patients.
7 cze 2023 · The goal of this review is to understand normal swallow physiology in children and how that physiology can be disrupted, to give recommendations for evaluating dysphagia in children, and to summarize important etiologies of dysphagia that can be managed by otolaryngologists.
If your child coughs or chokes when eating, refuses food or liquid, has a wet, gurgly voice after eating, starts to lose weight, or has less energy than usual, talk to your doctor about seeing a feeding and swallowing professional. There are three parts to any swallow—a child can have a problem in one or more of these parts:
While oral and pharyngeal phase dysphagia were not specifically divided in the current study, we found that 96% of infants with clinical signs and symptoms of feeding and swallowing disorders (poor growth/failure to thrive [FTT], poor or slow feeding/feeding refusal; coughing or choking with feeds; chronic respiratory concerns; tachypnea or ...
Some signs that your child has a swallowing disorder that may require a swallow study to diagnose include: Frequent upper respiratory symptoms or illnesses, including asthma, wheezing or infections. Poor weight gain or failure to thrive. Limited variety in diet for age. Food aversion or refusal. Coughing, choking or congestion with meals.
To determine if children with laryngeal penetration on videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) who received feeding interventions (thickened liquids, change in liquid flow rate and/or method of liquid delivery) had improved symptoms and decreased hospitalizations compared to those without intervention.
