1 lut 2018 · The most likely clinical scenario of the infant in this video is a: The videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS), also known as a modified barium swallow study, is a form of instrumental assessment of swallow function.
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.
The instrumental assessment looks at functional and structural aspects of swallowing that aren’t visible upon physical examination. It can answer specific questions about the presence and extent of swallow dysfunction, safety for feeding, and the effectiveness of therapeutic strategies.
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.
16 maj 2006 · These signs may include rapid respiratory rate, panting (especially in infants while sucking and swallowing via nipple), increased nasal congestion, and gurgly voice quality.
In this review, we will appraise (1) the physiology of swallowing and oral feeding skills, (2) disruptions to oral feeding in preterm infants, (3) feeding problems in preterm infants beyond the NICU, and (4) an algorithmic approach to the evaluation and management of neonatal feeding problems. 2.
