The clinical management Dysphagia It is often viewed as one of most difficult and frightening experiences. I recently worked with a patient in our hospital who had been ill with CVA. Dysphagia. According to the medical referral, he likely aspirated because he started coughing after eating. Speech therapy was requested to recommend a modified diet. Because the patient had a history of CVA, and his lung condition was compromised by pneumonia, it was obvious that he was likely to have aspirated. My knowledge of this patient was extensive. I noted the following key points in my report. He did not have pharyngeal stage dysfunction after his stroke. His vocal quality was significantly different, he had atypically hoarse voice and his coughing was accompanied with an acidic taste in his oral cavity. The lesson learned: persistent coughing does not always indicate aspiration due to primary swallowing. This man was finally diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux. He was treated to minimize the effect of this condition on his ability to swallow during PO intake.

This patient is likely to be a repeat of a previous one. You did not know what to look for and what the symptoms meant. This patient’s situation is a reminder that we all need to fully appreciate the role of the esophagus in the management of swallowing disorders. You will learn critical skills that will help you expand your knowledge base. Dysphagia Management tools and skills.
