Successful Treatment of Pulmonary Aspiration Due to Brain Stem Infarction by Using Cough Exercise Based on Swallowing Scintigraphy: Preliminary Observations

Abstract: Although dysphagia in stroke may result in lethal chest infection, it can be prevented by coughing. We report on a patient with dysphagia and aspiration who regained oral ingestion by swallowing with voluntary cough. A 54-year-old man with subarachnoidal hemorrhage underwent endovascular coiling and developed brain stem infarction. Scintigraphy showed pulmonary aspiration just after swallowing, but no radioactivity was detected in the lungs 10 min after swallowing with voluntary cough. Swallowing exercise with… Show more

“…PAS is used to evaluate the extent of penetration and aspiration, but additionally, considers the possibility of foreign materials being ejected back onto the vocal fold with coughing when airway penetration or aspiration occurs. Strong voluntary coughing can reduce aspiration by removing foreign materials, even after food flows into the airway, which can lower the incidence of aspiration pneumonia . According to a previous study, voluntary coughing is closely related to aspiration in terms of the airway protection mechanism in normal swallowing, with the intensity of coughing and the risk of airway aspiration correlating .…”

“…In another case study (23) an intraoral device was developed to correct abnormal neuromuscular patterns and to improve the facial aesthetic of individuals with facial paralysis. The participant of the study was an 18-year-old woman with a two year and eight months facial paralysis (facial trauma and brain edema).…”
