Go to My Dietetics @ Work The first historical record of the science and study of swallowing came from the ancient writings of Hippocrates in 400 BCE who said, " When a liquid is swallowed, a portion goes into the lung, and from there, it is filtered into the pericardial sac, where it lubricates and cools the feverish heart. The rest is exhaled as vapour Fortunately, the science and study of swallowing have come a long way since the ancient days of the Greeks and is now grounded in research with an increased emphasis on an interdisciplinary team approach to care for patients with dysphagia. This online program on Dysphagia Management aims to bring evidence-based tools and resources to the desks of health professionals who provide care for patients with dysphagia. Interactive quizzes and case scenarios help the learner translate the materials into practical recommendations they can use with their clients and their dysphagia management team. Health professionals that will find this course relevant to their practice include: Registered Dietitians Speech Language Pathologists Occupational Therapists Registered Nurses in LTC settings At the completion of this course, participants should be able to:

Dysphagia Difficulty in swallowing - usually associated either with pharyngeal or oesophageal disease. Oropharyngeal disease – difficulty in initiating swallowing, regurgitation through the nose, feeling of food sticking in the throat or lump in the throat on or following swallowing. Coughing and choking on swallowing usually is due to a lesion near to the larynx. Less commonly due to obstruction in the lower gullet causing food and secretions to collect and spill into the larynx, particularly at night (needs immediate attention to avoid risk of aspiration pneumonia. May also be due to neurological disorders (rarely), more common in early recovery following stroke and may persist in brainstem lesions. If no disease present – globus hystericus often associated with anxiety Presentation Symptoms As well as the feeling of food sticking in the gullet, patients with oesophageal disease may have other symptoms ranging from discomfort to severe pain with patient nearly always unable to locate the obstruction accurately. Regurgitation

The Palliation of Dysphagia in Oesophageal Malignant Obstructions using Endoprostheses: A Review of the Literature. Helen Tate, RGN. Advanced Diploma Health Science Student. University of Northumbria, Newcastle upon Tyne. Abstract Introduction Methods Insertion ... References Abstract. Malignant oesophageal obstruction due to intrinsic oesophageal tumours or from extrinsic compression caused by medistinal tumours is not a curative condition for the majority of patients. Dysphagia, or the inability to swallow, is one of the most distressing and debilitating symptoms connected with this disease. The rapid palliation of oesophageal carcinoma consists of the use of stenting to try and provide relief of the dysphagia. This article reviews some of the existing literature regarding the use of endoprostheses to effectively alleviate this problem. Key words: oesophageal carcinoma; dysphagia; endoprosthesis; rigid plastic stents; self-expanding metal stents; palliation. Introduction. Carcinoma of the oesophagus is the seventh most common malignancy in the world, although it is still relatively uncommon in Britain with a mean incidence of 7.5 per 100,000 of the population (Muller, Erasmi, Stelzner 1990) The management of this condition however is difficult, as 50-60% of patients diagnosed with oesophageal malignancies are suitable only for palliative treatments. Palliation of oesophageal carcinoma consists mainly of the symptomatic treatment of dysphagia. Without treatment these patients have a poor quality of life, suffer from rapid weight loss and experience a relatively quick and unpleasant death from total dysphagia and aspiration of their own saliva. The aim is therefore the relief of dysphagia with minimal morbidity and maximum quality of life. The quality of life, not quantity is deemed more desirable (Ellul, Watkinson, Khan, Adam, Mason 1995)

From The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2005 Non-pharmacological therapies for dysphagia in Parkinson’s disease (Cochrane Review) Deane K H O, Whurr R, Clarke C E, Playford E D, Ben-Shlomo Y. ABSTRACT What's new in this issue Search abstracts Browse alphabetical list of titles Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 22 November 2000. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Dysphagia occurs frequently in Parkinson's disease although patients themselves may be unaware of swallowing difficulties. Speech and language therapists in conjunction with nurses and dietitians use techniques that aim to improve swallowing and reduce the risk of choking, aspiration and chest infections. Objectives: To compare the efficacy and effectiveness of non-pharmacological swallowing therapy for dysphagia versus placebo or no intervention in patients with Parkinson's disease. To compare one form of non-pharmacological swallowing therapy for dysphagia with another in patients with Parkinson's disease. Search strategy: Relevant trials were identified by electronic searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, ISI-SCI, AMED, MANTIS, REHABDATA, REHADAT, GEROLIT, Pascal, LILACS, MedCarib, JICST-EPlus, AIM, IMEMR, SIGLE, ISI-ISTP, DISSABS, Conference Papers Index, Aslib Index to Theses, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, the CentreWatch Clinical Trials listing service, the metaRegister of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov, CRISP, PEDro, NIDRR and NRR; and examination of the reference lists of identified studies and other reviews.

From The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2005 Treatment for swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) in chronic muscle disease (Cochrane Review) Hill M, Hughes T, Milford C ABSTRACT What's new in this issue Search abstracts Browse alphabetical list of titles Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 14 February 2004. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: The management of dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing), a common complication of long-term progressive muscle disease in children and adults, is currently unclear. Objectives: Our objective was to determine the most appropriate intervention for dysphagia in people with chronic, untreatable, non-inflammatory muscle disease. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Neuromuscular Disease Group trials register, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Cochrane Library Issue 2, 2003), MEDLINE (from January 1966 to Week 2 June 2003), EMBASE (from January 1980 to Week 2 June 2003), AMED (from January 1985 to Week 2 June 2003), LILACS (from January 1982 to June 21 2003) and CINAHL (from January 1982 to Week 2 June 2003) and contacted authors of published studies and other experts. Selection criteria: Data collection and analysis: We identified no randomised controlled trials. We identified seven case series reporting the results of surgical intervention for moderate to severe dysphagia, and one reporting on the outcome of feeding advice and enteral feeding in children with a congenital myopathy.
