Dysphagia
Dysphagia:
Causes of Dysphagia
Trauma - accidental, iatrogenic, penetrating trauma,head
injury, or cranial nerve damage
Aspiration Pneumonia
Aspiration Pneumonia is
infection of the lungs and
bronchial tubes after
inhaling oral or gastric
contents, such as food,
liquid, or vomit, and is a
potential outcome of
dysphagia.
Current Status

ADA Position
The ADA states that there is insufficient evidence for
screening guidelines in dysphagia patients.
Large well-designed trials are needed for more
conclusive evidence of screening benefit.
