Noninvasive approaches to deglutitive aspiration

  • Published:
Dysphagia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Etiologies for aspiration are described. Non-invasive procedures to eliminate aspiration are outlined including postural techniques, variations in bolus volume, viscosity, taste and temperature, methods to enhance oral sensation, swallow maneuvers and exercise programs to improve neuromotor control for swallow. Specific disorders for which each procedure is appropriate are defined.
