Learner Outcomes
1) Identify 4 normal anatomical and physiological changes in the aging population that may affect eating and overall nutrition.
2) Identify 3 dysphagia/swallowing symptoms/ ) y y p g g y pdifficulties that may require a modified dysphagia diet.
3) Demonstrate 3 interventions to facilitate a safe swallow and improve PO intake.
4) Identify 3 methods to improve PO intake of a puree and thickened liquid diet.
Dysphagia
• Loss or impairment of the chewing and swallowing skills involving the oral, pharyngeal and/or esophageal phases of deglutition.
• Aspiration is passage of food and/or liquid into the larynx through the vocal folds.
4
Normal Aging & The Oral Phase
-Decreased sensation
-Changes in taste sensitivity (bitter, sweet & salty)
-Reduced lip posturing
-Decreased saliva volume & viscosity
-Mandibular/gum changes result in increased chewing strokes
-Decreased lingual strength
Normal Aging & The Pharyngeal Phase
The tongue base and hyoid lower due to soft tissue laxity.
Decreased strength results in residue.g Decreased airway protection and reduced epiglottic
flexibility. Orthopedic Changes and Diverticula may develop Changes in the UES due to orthopedic and ligament
laxity.
Normal Aging & The Esophageal Phase
Reduced peristalsis increases transit time.
Increased gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)
Mechanical Obstructions
Motility Disorders
5
Normal Aging & Digestive System
Rate of absorption slows. Stomach produces reduced number of gastric
enzymes. Liver produces less albumin and affects the
absorption of medications. Decreased esophageal and intestinal motility,
weakened abdominal and pelvic muscles Decreased sensation throughout the digestive
system Constipation
Symptoms/Signs for Possible Modified Dysphagia Diet
Medical Diagnoses Coughing/Choking Poor PO Intake Dehydration Dehydration Unexplained weight loss Pocketing/holding food in the mouth Drooling/ Dry mouth Patient complaint of swallowing difficulties Poor dentition/edentulous
Clinical Dysphagia Evaluation
Presenting Swallowing Problem Medical History & Present Medical Status Interdisciplinary Team Evaluations Oral Phase of Swallowing Pharyngeal Phase of Swallowing Cervical Esophageal Phase of Swallowing Dysphagia Diet Level

Implementation of an Oral Feeding Program
Speech Pathologist determines dysphagia diet level, swallowing strategies & advancing diet.
Dietician determines nutritional needs.OT d t i h i l & d ti i t OT determines physical & adaptive equipment needs & self feeding needs.
PT determines physical needs & positioning. Food service determines food likes/dislikes. Nursing determines medical & ADL needs. Physician oversees & approves treatment plans.

Dysphagia Food Preparation Tips
Meats, sauces, gravies and/or broths should be warm when blending.
Save liquids from canned fruits/vegetables to use if need to thin a puree consistency.Add ll f hi k if b Add small amounts of thickener if purees become too thin.
Use cake decorating tips and tubes to make puree foods more visually appealing.
Cook casseroles. Puree finished casserole. Puree peas, corn, beans & strain out husks. Frozen dinners can be thawed, pureed and refrozen.

Dysphagia Diets“Making It Better”
Slurry (Pureed bakery foods) Slurry Recipe
-1 Tablespoon commercial thickener-2 Cups Water
-Remove hard surfaces. Use a fork /toothpick, pierce the baked product. More holes allows more absorption of the thickener. Put the bakery item in a serving dish/pan. Pour the mixture over the food making sure it is saturated. Cover & sit in frig for 2 hours. Remove excess liquid on & around the food.
Dysphagia Diets“Making It Better”
Pasta Recipe (8 servings) -4 Cups well cooked pasta-1/2 Cup non-fat milk powder-1/3 Cup oil/melted margarine-8 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese-1 Teaspoon garlic powderSoak cooked pasta in cold water for 30 min. Drain. Combine
pasta, milk powder, oil & water in food processor & blend until smooth/creamy. Add water gradually & continue to blend until the mixture resembles thick muffin batter. Blend in Parmesan cheese & garlic powder. Use icing tips to make noodles or spread in casserole.
