In addition, the consistencies of material swallowed when the impairments were observed are coded for each of these phases of swallowing. Oral transit time and pharyngeal transit time are also coded according to standardized procedures. The presence and timing of aspiration is coded. Among the most important observations is the patient's response to therapy techniques attempted during the examination.

These may involve swallowing maneuvers or variations in positioning that are expected to influence the occurrence of aspiration. Additional codings regarding the need for additional follow-up and suctioning are also coded. Finally, the Swallowing Performance Scale is employed to categorize the severity of the patients swallowing disorder. As indicated by the scale descriptions, there are several categories of dysfunction that enable the patient to continue to eat orally at least to a limited or controlled degree.

Recommendations that eliminate oral feeding entirely are done only as a last resort when it is clear that no amount of oral feeding can be tolerated safely.

Recommendations Based on the physiologic findings during the evaluation, dietary recommendations, as well as swallowing precautions, may be coded. Ideally, these will be based on the patient's swallowing behavior when swallowing the proposed dietary consistency during the videofluoroscopic examination. Google Scholar. Mann G.
