Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 08/26/09
Boden K et al. – The high temporal recordings in this study have revealed that swallowing during expiration is present basically in all healthy individuals. This swallowing respiratory pattern seems to be appropriate for a safe swallow. This knowledge will be used as a reference for future studies on how swallowing and respiratory coordination might be altered due to ageing and diseases.
Dr Katarina Boden, 09/03/09
| We know that swallowing and respiration is well coordinated and that respiration ceases during swallowing, the so called swallwing apnea. We have studied young healthy individuals and have demonstrated that, the swallowing pattern is fixed and do not change due to different body position or differebt respiratory drive. However, respiration was shown to be more vulnerable and the duration of the swallowing apnea was shortened due to different respiratory drive and even to different body position, even though this was not significant. We could also demonstrate that basiclly all swallows occured during expiration which seems to be the most approppriate patten. We believe that indiviiduals with swallowing dysfunction may have an incorrect coordination of the swallowing and respiration. If we can demonstrate that this is true, treatment of swallowing dysfunction should be more concentrated on respiration instead of the swallowing, As swallowing has a fixed pattern, respiration would probably be easier to control voluntarily. |
