“…(14) Older patients (aged > 60 years) are at increased risk for postoperative dysphagia. (7) Although authors of several studies found no correlation between age and dysphagia (3,6,11,14,17), study by Kalb et al found that the mean age of dysphagic and nondysphagic patients was signi cantly different (55 and 50 years, respectively, P = 0.05). (9) This could be explained by anatomic and physiological changes seen in elderly patients like weakening of swallowing muscles, decrease in salivary secretions and decrease in elasticity of oesophagus.…”

BACKGROUND Post-surgical dysphagia is one complication particularly common in early postoperative period after Anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS). However, the pathophysiology of dysphagia after has not been well understood. This study aimed to analyze the frequency and risk factors for developing swallowing difficulty following anterior cervical spine procedures and find an effective program to prevent and treat. METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted on 50 patients undergoing ACSS from April 2021 to Oct 2022 at the Department of Orthopedics, Guru Gobind Singh Medical College and Hospital, Punjab (India). Patients were in the age group of 27 to 60 years. The indications for cervical surgeries were traumatic, degenerative, infective and neoplastic involving C2 to C7 vertebra with signs of neural compression unresponsive to conservative treatment. Data on patient gender, age, BMI, duration of surgery, surgery blood loss, segment operated and the number of segments operated were collected. ( Table 1) Follow up time was 24 weeks. RESULTS Incidence of dysphagia was 20% (10/50) within first week which reduced to zero at completion of 6 months of follow-up. Dysphagia was present in 2% (1/50) patients in age group 21–40 years and 18% (9/50) patients in age group of 41–60 years. 14.6% (6/41) males and 44% (4/9) of females had dysphagia. Prevalence of patients involving one segment was 9.5% (4/42), two segmants was 80% (4/5) and three levels was 50% (1/2). Mean duration of surgery in patients with post operative dysphagia was 115 mins. Mean blood loss in patients with post-operative dysphagia was 171.40 mL Mean Et (endotracheal) tube cuff pressure in patients with post operative dysphagia was 24.70 cm H2O. Within the first week post surgery, there were 10 cases out of which one was mild, six were moderate and three were severe. CONCLUSION Despite the fact that some inconsistency is there in the literature regarding risk factors it can be safely concluded from our study that incidence of post operative dysphagia can be reduced by decreasing blood loss during surgery, reducing surgery time and optimizing Endotracheal tube cuff pressure during surgery.
