Compensatory Strategies and Techniques

摘要: Management and treatment of feeding swallowing ­disorders in infants children is complex due to the multitude etiologies interacting variables that may be present any given situation. The underlying causes dysphagia pediatric population are both congenital acquired include an array structural, neurologic, cardiorespiratory, genetic, systemic, metabolic conditions. Feeding difficulties evolve or intensify secondary medical complications, physiologic abnormalities, ongoing environmental factors that, singly combination, impair progression normal behavior. Inadequate recognition management dysfunction has serious implications including potential malnutrition, chronic respiratory disease, disruption oral motor/feeding skill development, extended use nasogastric gastrostomy tube feedings. Lack treatment, delayed initiation inappropriate approaches all contribute prolonged potentially untoward consequences. Thus, thorough diagnostic evaluation, accurate identification pharyngeal physiology dysfunction, appropriate selection compensatory rehabilitative interventions essential maximize each child’s for a satisfactory outcome. A multidisciplinary approach differential diagnosis problems occur across multiple systems.
