(e.g., decreased tongue base retraction, n Other protectors of lung (e.g., mucociliary
reduced sensation, incoordination of clearance, phagocytosis by alveolar
pharyngeal constrictors) macrophages, lymphatic drainage, gag)

uOralsensorimotor intervention
n Possible next step depends on airway status
uNutritionguidelines
uIf respiration normal, clinical feeding uBehavioral therapy
evaluation uMonitor status & alter plan as needed
uIf respiration abnormal, airway evaluation n If yes: Instrumental examination or further
(hold feeds until airway is clear) medical workup

Patient Considerations
Criteria for Instrumental Evaluation
n Diagnostic & management needs
n Risk for aspiration by history or observation uNature of swallow impairment
n Prior aspiration pneumonia uPatient’s ability to feed safely
n Suspicion of pharyngeal/laryngeal problem uDevelopment of management plan
on basis of etiology n Ability or readiness to participate
n Gurgly voice quality uMedical stability
n Need to define oral, pharyngeal, & upper uAbility/willingness to cooperate
esophageal components for management uAge, cognitive, & developmental status

Important Considerations
in High Risk Pediatric Patients VFSS Procedural Considerations
n Radiologist must be present n Purpose & questions formulated clearly
n Fluoroscopy time minimum
n Positioning/seating: typical & optimal
n Well formulated Q & A
n Cooperative patient imperative for
n Caregivers included
interpretation
n Findings shown to caregivers
n Shortest fluoroscopy time possible
n Findings interpreted & used as part of
total team approach: maximize safety n Review in slow motion, frame-by-frame
