Respiratory support effect on pharyngeal area in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A fluoroscopic comparison of NIV, helmet/CPAP, and high-flow nasal cannula. Respir Med Case Rep 2023; 46:101958. [PMID: 38187117 PMCID: PMC10770539 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmcr.2023.101958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
The global use of noninvasive respiratory support provided by different supportive ventilation delivery methods (SVDMs) has increased, but the impact of these devices on the upper airway structures of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is not known. We aimed to compare the pharyngeal cross-sectional area during spontaneous breathing with four different SVDMs: intranasal masks, oronasal masks, high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), and helmet in patients with ALS. We compared measures of the pharyngeal area during spontaneous breathing and SVDM use. The greatest increase was observed with intranasal mask use, followed by HFNC, oronasal mask, and helmet respectively. In conclusion, upper airway opening in patients with ALS is enhanced by positive pressure with intranasal masks and HFNC, showing promise for increasing pharyngeal patency. Future studies should explore its applicability and effectiveness in maintaining long-term pharyngeal patency, especially in this population with bulbar weakness.

Helliwell K, Hughes VJ, Bennion CM, Manning-Stanley A. The use of videofluoroscopy (VFS) and fibreoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) in the investigation of oropharyngeal dysphagia in stroke patients: A narrative review. Radiography (Lond) 2023; 29:284-290. [PMID: 36640583 DOI: 10.1016/j.radi.2022.12.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 12/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with suspected acute stroke require rapid assessment of swallowing on admission. If aspiration is suspected, this takes the form of specialist assessment, using either videofluoroscopy (VFS) or fibreoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). The review aim was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of each method in stroke patients. Literature was collected from the databases Scopus, Web of Science and Medline, and articles included in the review were published within the last 10 years, in the English language. KEY FINDINGS Sensitivity and specificity ranged from 0.29-0.33 and 0.96-1.0 for VFS, respectively, and 0.37-1.0 and 0.65-0.87 for FEES, respectively, depending on the type of bolus utilised. VFS is the current gold-standard for the investigation of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD), however, radiation dose and patient transport implications mean FEES may be preferred. FEES has limitations including 'whiteout' and the invasive nature of the endoscope. The NICE guidelines do not recommend a definitive protocol specifically in stroke patients. This suggests further research may be required to determine the most effective method. CONCLUSION FEES is a beneficial first line examination, providing limited invasiveness, and administering a high level of patient suitability, without using ionising radiation. VFS could potentially be useful following FEES to secure full visualisation, ensuring an aspiration event is not missed during FEES. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Use of FEES as the first line test rather than VFS, ensures radiation dose is as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). Ongoing research to ensure protocols follow current best practice can help ensure accurate management of oropharyngeal dysphagia in stroke patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a European White Paper document on oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) in head and neck cancer (HNC). There are wide variations in the management of OD associated with HNC across Europe. METHODS Experts in the management of specific aspects of OD in HNC across Europe were delegated by their professional medical and multidisciplinary societies to contribute to this document. Evidence is based on systematic reviews, consensus-based position statements, and expert opinion. RESULTS Twenty-four sections on HNC-specific OD topics. CONCLUSION This European White Paper summarizes current best practice on management of OD in HNC, providing recommendations to support patients and health professionals. The body of literature and its level of evidence on diagnostics and treatment for OD in HNC remain poor. This is in the context of an expected increase in the prevalence of OD due to HNC in the near future. Contributing factors to increased prevalence include aging of our European population (including HNC patients) and an increase in human papillomavirus (HPV) related cancer, despite the introduction of HPV vaccination in various countries. We recommend timely implementation of OD screening in HNC patients while emphasizing the need for robust scientific research on the treatment of OD in HNC. Meanwhile, its management remains a challenge for European professional associations and policymakers.
