Søgeprotokol for Opdatering På NKR for Øvre Dysfagi Søgeprotokol for opdatering på NKR for øvre dysfagi Projekttitel/aspekt NKR for Dysfagi - Guidelines Projektgruppe Elisabeth og Mina Händel Søgespecialist Kirsten Birkefoss Senest opdateret 17.09.2018 Baggrund Dysfagi er den overordnede betegnelse for problemer i en eller flere synkefunktioner. Årsagerne til dysfagi er mangfoldige og omfatter både motoriske, sensoriske og/eller kognitive funktionsnedsættelser. Der skelnes mellem øvre og nedre dysfagi. Øvre dysfagi er relateret til mund og svælg, mens nedre dysfagi er relateret til spiserør og mavesækken. Denne retningslinje handler om øvre dysfagi. Dysfagi giver mange og også alvorlige problemer for patienten. Dysfagi er associeret med øget risiko for sygelighed og død, reduceret livskvalitet og risiko for social isolation.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of disability, affecting approximately 765 to 2008 per 100 000 Australian children each year. Its effects are vast and include speech, language and swallowing disorders. To ensure a standard, best-evidence approach to the clinical care of children with communication and swallowing disorders following moderate or severe TBI, a multidisciplinary guideline committee has developed recommendations to guide assessment and treatment of these disorders. The guideline consists of 30 recommendations to be used by health professionals who are involved in the management of communication and swallowing disorders following paediatric TBI. Of the developed recommendations, 5 were evidence-based and 25 were consensus-based. The recommendations aim to optimise children’s outcomes and ensure equality of care.

There are many disorder conditions predisposing to dysphagia such as mechanical strokes or esophageal diseases even if neurological diseases represent the principal one. Cerebrovascular pathology is today the leading cause of death in developing countries, and it occurs most frequently in individuals who are at least 60 years old. Patients with dysphagia may walk into dental clinic and because dysphagia is a symptom not a disease, it is a practicing dentist’s duty to recognize the underlying cause and then take treatment decisions. Among the most frequent complications of dysphagia are increased mortality and aspiration pneumonia, dehydration, malnutrition, and long-term hospitalization. This review article discusses the pathophysiology, classification, evaluation, investigations and treatment modalities of dysphagia. Keywords: Oropharyngeal dysphagia; Oesophageal dysphagia; Classification of Dysphagia Barium swallow • Oropharyngeal dysphagia is usually described as the inability to Introduction initiate the act of swallowing. It is a “transfer” problem of impaired ability to move food from the mouth into the upper esophagus.

    Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Policy Number: PG0449 ADVANTAGE | ELITE | HMO Last Review: 11/28/2018 INDIVIDUAL MARKETPLACE | PROMEDICA MEDICARE PLAN | PPO GUIDELINES This policy does not certify benefits or authorization of benefits, which is designated by each individual policyholder contract. Paramount applies coding edits to all medical claims through coding logic software to evaluate the accuracy and adherence to accepted national standards. This guideline is solely for explaining correct procedure reporting and does not imply coverage and reimbursement. SCOPE X Professional _ Facility DESCRIPTION Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, or esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is usually performed to evaluate symptoms of persistent upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing or bleeding from the upper GI tract. EGD is more accurate than x-ray films for detecting inflammation, ulcers, or tumors of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum and can detect early cancer, as well as distinguish between benign and malignant conditions when biopsies of suspicious areas are obtained. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) uses a flexible fiber-optic scope with a light and camera to examine the upper part of the GI system. The scope is inserted through the mouth into the upper GI tract allowing for direct visualization of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum through the camera. This document does not address upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy in children, wireless capsule endoscopy, virtual endoscopy or in vivo analysis of gastrointestinal lesions via endoscopy. POLICY Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy does not require prior authorization. Appropriate ICD-10 diagnosis code (as listed below) required for coverage. COVERAGE CRITERIA HMO, PPO, Individual Marketplace, Elite/ProMedica Medicare Plan, Advantage These procedures for adults aged 18 years or older can only be allowed if abnormal signs or symptoms or known disease are present.

Much research has gone into the development of treatments and programs to help patients rehabilitate and reintegrate into society as completely as possible. Studies showing promising statistics, such as a 91% rate of return to work, suggest that the research is working. It has also been shown that the love and care which patients' family caregivers provide is very important in the stroke recovery process. Therefore, it is important for us to enable you, the caregiver, to provide the best support you can. Much research has been done to study how caregivers, like you, can be better assisted and prepared for this important role in stroke recovery. This guide brings you the best of that research. One important aspect of this research is that it is not useful for caregivers like you to receive all the informational, emotional, and practical support that you will need throughout this process, all at once. Instead, previous caregivers in your position have found it more helpful to receive information only at the times when they need it.

  • Harrison's Chapter on Dysphagia
    Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 20e Chapter 40: Dysphagia Ikuo Hirano; Peter J. Kahrilas INTRODUCTION Dysphagia—diiculty with swallowing—refers to problems with the transit of food or liquid from the mouth to the hypopharynx or through the esophagus. Severe dysphagia can compromise nutrition, cause aspiration, and reduce quality of life. Additional terminology pertaining to swallowing dysfunction is as follows. Aphagia (inability to swallow) typically denotes complete esophageal obstruction, most commonly encountered in the acute setting of a food bolus or foreign body impaction. Odynophagia refers to painful swallowing, typically resulting from mucosal ulceration within the oropharynx or esophagus. It commonly is accompanied by dysphagia, but the converse is not true. Globus pharyngeus is a foreign body sensation localized in the neck that does not interfere with swallowing and sometimes is relieved by swallowing. Transfer dysphagia frequently results in nasal regurgitation and pulmonary aspiration during swallowing and is characteristic of oropharyngeal dysphagia. Phagophobia (fear of swallowing) and refusal to swallow may be psychogenic or related to anticipatory anxiety about food bolus obstruction, odynophagia, or aspiration. PHYSIOLOGY OF SWALLOWING Swallowing begins with a voluntary (oral) phase that includes preparation during which food is masticated and mixed with saliva. This is followed by a transfer phase during which the bolus is pushed into the pharynx by the tongue. Bolus entry into the hypopharynx initiates the pharyngeal swallow response, which is centrally mediated and involves a complex series of actions, the net result of which is to propel food through the pharynx into the esophagus while preventing its entry into the airway.
