Disturbances
DYSFAGIA
The ingestion is a daily process, in which under normal circumstances
we do not dedicate any particular attention. It is useful in the
transport of shawl and food from the buccal cavity in the stomach.
A part of this action happens on purpose, while the rest takes place
reflexives. For a physiologic ingestion it requires a healthy nervous
system, certain structural conditions in the region of larynx, as
well as a functional capable muscular system. The term dysfagia
is reported in the problems of conducting ingestion, which can make
their appearance when the operation of one or more important for
this process of factors, is disturbed. The appearance of these problems
can have limited time duration or to even lead to the complete disability
of ingestion.
There are symptoms, which give explicit clues on the existence of
such form of disturbance, while the absence of those it does not
have to be translated, that the patient swallows with safety. Between
these symptoms it is the slow motion feeding or the refusal of feeding,
difficulties in the activation of ingestion, choking or cough during
or after the reception of food, trembling voice. The dysfagia can
be found rather often in patients with cerebral episode, and older
ages constitute the team with the bigger venturousness. Parallel
with the consequences that result to the disturbance in the health
of patient, the psychosocial dimension should not in any case be
underestimated. The patient does not feel particularly comfortable,
in-between others, with the cough and saliva flow, so that it is
withdrawn socially and it is led to introversion. Moreover, the
quality of his life is degraded, because it cannot enjoy any more,
such an important for the modern person process, the food.
