Journal ArticleDOI
Tracheostomy protocols during COVID-19 pandemic.
Cameron Heyd,Vincent M. Desiato,Shaun A. Nguyen,Ashli K. O’Rourke,Clarice S. Clemmens,Mahmoud I. Awad,Mitchell L. Worley,Terry A. Day +7 more
TL;DR: Current guidelines for tracheostomy during the COVID‐19 pandemic are evaluated to provide a framework for health systems to prepare as the science evolves over the upcoming months and years.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Resolution Pharyngeal Manometry and Impedance: Protocols and Metrics—Recommendations of a High-Resolution Pharyngeal Manometry International Working Group
Taher Omari,Michelle R. Ciucci,Kristin Gozdzikowska,Ester Hernández,Katherine A. Hutcheson,Corinne A. Jones,Julia Maclean,Nogah Nativ-Zeltzer,Emily K. Plowman,Nicole Rogus-Pulia,Nathalie Rommel,Ashli K. O’Rourke +11 more
TL;DR: This work represents the first step in standardization of high-resolution pharyngeal manometry acquisition, measurement, and reporting and could potentially inform future proposals for an HRPM-based classification system specifically for pharynGEal swallowing disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moving Forward with Dysphagia Care: Implementing Strategies during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond.
Mark A. Fritz,Rebecca J. Howell,Martin B. Brodsky,Debra M. Suiter,Shumon I. Dhar,Anaïs Rameau,Theresa Richard,Michelle Skelley,John R. Ashford,Ashli K. O’Rourke,Maggie A. Kuhn +10 more
TL;DR: A clinical algorithm and reference is created for dysphagia clinicians across clinical settings to minimize spread of COVID-19 cases while providing optimal care to patients suffering from swallowing disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Voluntary Pharyngeal Swallowing Maneuvers on Esophageal Swallowing Physiology
Ashli K. O’Rourke,Lori B. Morgan,Enrique Coss-Adame,Michele P. Morrison,Paul M. Weinberger,Gregory N. Postma +5 more
TL;DR: The Mendelsohn maneuver may result in decreased esophageal peristalsis while effortful swallowing may improve esophagesis, and it is important to understand the implications for the entire swallowing mechanism when considering retraining techniques for patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utility of Esophagram versus High-Resolution Manometry in the Detection of Esophageal Dysmotility
TL;DR: Esophagram is useful in the assessment of anatomic abnormalities but is a poor screening examination for the detection of esophageal dysmotility, which should be referred for HRM to evaluate motility disorders and identify potential treatment targets.
