Abstract

Introduction and Aim: Difficulty or trouble in eating is termed to beDysphagia, which indicates experience of food encountering delays or obstructions as it moves to the stomach from the mouth. Elderly population is prone to develop dysphagia because of various illnesses that affect their swallowing function, thereby raising the threat of aspiration. The primary goal of the current learning is to assess the effectiveness of swallowing therapy and the forced expiratory technique as preventive measures against aspiration in frail elderly individuals with dysphagia. Methodology: This study is an experimental study done at ACS Medical College and Hospital, specifically in the Physiotherapy OP department. The study involved a sample of 20 individuals and had a treatment duration of 6 weeks. The participants were elderly individuals ranging from 65 to 85 years of age, comprising both males and females. Participants who scored above 18 in the mini mental state exam and fall within levels 3 to 6 according to the FIOS classification were included The outcome measures used in the study were the functional intake oral scale and the gugging swallowing screen. Results: Comparing the Functional Intake Oral Scale (FIOS) Score between the Pre-test and Post-test mean values of 4.40 and 6.40 (Swallowing Therapy) reveals a significantly significant difference between the two mean values at P 0.001. Comparing the gugging swallowing screen (GUSS)score between the Pre-test and Post-test mean values of 11.30 and 17.60 (Swallowing Therapy), it is very significant that there is a difference between the Pre-test and Post-test mean values at P 0.001. Conclusion: It is concluded that there is significant improvement in effects of swallowing therapy for dysphagia in frail elders and forced expiratory technique to prevent aspiration.
吞咽治疗及用力呼气技术预防老年人吞咽困难误吸的效果
简介和目的:进食困难或困难被称为吞咽困难,这表明食物在从口中进入胃时遇到延迟或阻碍。老年人容易因各种疾病影响其吞咽功能而出现吞咽困难,从而增加误吸的威胁。当前学习的主要目的是评估吞咽治疗和用力呼气技术作为预防吞咽困难的老年人误吸的有效性。方法:本研究是在ACS医学院和医院进行的一项实验研究,特别是在物理治疗OP部门。该研究涉及20人的样本,治疗时间为6周。参与者是年龄在65到85岁之间的老年人,包括男性和女性。在迷你精神状态测试中得分在18分以上,并且根据FIOS分类在3到6级之间的参与者被纳入研究中使用的结果测量是功能性摄入口腔量表和咽痰吞咽屏幕。结果:比较测试前和测试后FIOS评分(吞咽治疗)的平均值4.40和6.40,两者的平均值差异有统计学意义(P < 0.001)。比较前测和后测的GUSS评分分别为11.30分和17.60分(《吞咽治疗》),前测和后测的平均值差异非常显著,P < 0.001。结论:采用吞咽疗法治疗老年人吞咽困难及用力呼气法预防误吸效果明显。
