Description

Clinicians treating dysphagia often focus on dysfunction in strength, timing, and efficiency of the neuromuscular system. Cognitive-behavioral changes and altered sensory systems can also overlay neuromuscular proficiency, contributing to suboptimal, or at-risk oral intake. This session is designed to explore the neurology of sensation, visual capacity, and executive functions that challenge patients to engage in meals, sustain nutrition, and ultimately minimize nonoral support to meet caloric and hydration needs. Practical compensations and research driven interventions will be discussed through each topic within the lecture.

Objectives

  1. Explore the neurology of appetite by defining neurotransmitter systems that drive our desire to eat and drink.
  2. Discuss how alterations to the visual system can affect the patient鈥檚 ability to self-feed and thus increase dependency, as well as provide low cost/tech solutions that are readily implemented
  3. Outline how medications, tube feedings, and environment can dimmish patient鈥檚 drive toward oral intake and identify key healthcare team members for collaboration and resolution of barriers.
  4. Differentiate cognitive behavioral controls that affect eating behavior while examining clinical solutions to progress the patient towards improved intake and focus to task.

Outline

Neurology of appetite: neurotransmitter systems that drive our desire to eat and drink
  • The physiology of appetite and the role of serotonin/dopamine drivers to “eat”
  • Factors that alter appetite and eating experience after brain injury (hyper, hypo): ageusia/anosmia, salivation, GERD and esophageal dysmotility
Alterations to the visual system: what affects the patient’s ability to self-feed and low cost/tech solutions
  • Visual changes to locating food
  • Clinical compensations and environmental modifications for success
Medications, tube feedings, and institutional experience as a patient: forces that dimmish patient’s drive toward oral intake and identification of key healthcare team members for collaboration and resolution
  • Pharmacology’s affect upon appetite: bowel meds, sedation, analgesics
  • Tube feeding schedules and potential for glucose intolerance/reduced metabolic rate
  • Lack of movement/bedbound status changing appetite
  • Changes in upper extremity function: reduced ROM and stiffness
  • Limitations of the research and potential risks for commonly used medications
Cognitive behavioral controls that affect eating behavior and exploring solutions towards improved intake and focus to task
  • Affect of altered attention to task/visual organization
  • Environmental distraction and the role of a chaotic room upon focus
  • Degrees of supervision and cuing needed to balance safety and independence
  • Returning to the Rancho Levels and applying appropriate expectations at each level
