There has been little research on the provision and adaptation of oral care for patients with dysphagia in nursing homes. This study collected data via a questionnaire specifically on the knowledge of oral hygiene and the current oral care practices for patients with dysphagia. Fifty-three ...
Elderly hospitalised patients with dysphagia are at an increased risk of respiratory complications, including aspiration pneumonia. Evidence suggests that oral hygiene regimes can reduce this risk. Despite this, oral care provision in acute hospitals is variable and particularly limited in elderly care set...
It is important for patients with dysphagia to maintain oral hygiene, as it prevents tooth loss and reduces the risk of aspiration pneumonia by reducing the number of pathogens (such as bacteria implicated in periodontitis).20 Moreover, stimulations caused during oral care may affect the ...
Nearly 60% of patients who are intubated in intensive care units (ICUs) experience dysphagia after extubation, and approximately 50% of them aspirate. Little is known about dysphagia recovery time after patients are discharged from the hospital. To determine factors associated with recovery from dysp...

Oral hypofunction and malnutrition have an association with sarcopenia, which may lead to oral dysphagia [44]. OFr means weakness and fatigue of oral muscles, and the definition of OFr in the literature includes such aspects as poor oral health, poor function of oral muscles, risk of weight ...
The format is also popular with hospitals and other healthcare providers, because it increases patient compliance, particularly among psychiatric, pediatric and geriatric patient populations and those with dysphagia who are unable to swallow conventional solid dosage forms. ...
An interprofessional collaboration between nurses and speech therapists to detect dysphagia early in an elderly hip fracture population Introduction: Pneumonia and pulmonary aspiration are significant sources of mortality and morbidity following a hip fracture, with swallowing pathology being among the root ...
colonization, includingEscherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus,Klebsiella pneumonia, and other organisms that do not belong to the oral microbial flora [9]. Moreover, if dysphagia presents, weakened or uncoordinated muscles of the mouth, oropharynx, and larynx reduce the clearance of food and saliva ...
It already has been shown that a systemic effect of oral illness on general health may be caused by the invasion of oral pathogens into the airway (e.g., due to dysphagia) and or the bloodstream (e.g., via the periodontal tissues) (30). Given the impact of AD on patients, their ...
