Dysphagia is an interdisciplinary problem. Doctors of different specialties (phoniatrician, ENT, gastrologist, neurologist), speech language therapists, physiotherapists and dieticians should be involved in the therapy of patients. The task of the first group is instrumental evaluation of swallowing, defining the safe consistency of fluids and foods, showing effective therapeutic maneuvers (restitutive and compensatory maneuvers), and finally - adapting the optimal diet to patient's eating ability (adaptive methods). The purpose of the study is to present a modification of the consistency of fluids and foods according to the recommendations of the International Dietary Standardization Initiative (IDDSI). The work shows the basic consistencies and tests that allow for them to be checked.
Zaburzenia połykania stanowią problem interdyscyplinarny, a w terapii pacjentów powinni uczestniczyć zarówno lekarze różnych specjalności, logopedzi, rehabilitanci, jak i dietetycy. Zadaniem logopedów i rehabilitantów jest pełna diagnostyka, określenie bezpiecznych konsystencji płynów i pokarmów oraz pokazanie skutecznych manewrów terapeutycznych (metody restytucyjne i kompensacyjne), zaś zadaniem dietetyków dostosowanie optymalnej pod względem wartości odżywczej diety do możliwości pacjenta (metody adaptacyjne). Celem pracy było przedstawienie modyfikacji konsystencji płynów i pokarmów wg zaleceń Międzynarodowej Inicjatywy Standaryzacji Diet w przypadku Dysfagii (The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative; IDDSI). Praca przedstawia podstawowe konsystencje oraz testy pozwalające na ich sprawdzenie.
In this article, we proposed a questionnaire for assessment of videofluorscopic examination in patients with swallowing disorders. It was developed during years 2015 - 2016 by the Department of Otolaryngology at the Medical University of Warsaw. The main body of the form consists of 3 parts assessing the oral phase, the pharyngeal phase and the esophageal phase. The main column contains a list of specific symptoms with yes/no answers. There is a four-point scale assessing the severity of the disorders from 0 to 3, where 0 corresponds to clinically insignificant findings, 1- mild impairment, 2 - moderate impairment, and 3 – severe impairment. Other elements of the form include: basic demographic and nutritional data, assessment of the consistency and texture of ingested food, food texture recommended based on the evaluation acc. to the recommendations of the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (www.iddsi.org), and therapeutic assessment before implementation of speech therapy. The questionnaire was prepared on the basis of Trinity College survey, own experience and literature data.
