Abstract

 Objective: Defining diagnostic value of “silent aspirations” predictors using fibrolaryngoscopy among patients having mild degree of the disphagia during the acute phase of the ischemic stroke.

Methods: 50 patients were examined during severe stroke period: 28 women and 22 men, average age was 68.3 years. The presence and the severity of disphagia were defined using three-pharyngeal sample with the following examination and estimate of the swallowing disorder by the MASA scale. Fibrolaryngoscopy was performed on the 2nd or 3rd day after brain damage.

Results: Aspiration was diagnosed among 24 patients using endoscopic examination results. The most frequent “silent aspiration” predictors turned out to be: rough oral apraxia (58 %), inadequate (abnormal) random cough (54 %) and aphonia (45 %).

Conclusions: Timely detection of “silent aspiration” predictors among patients having ischemic stroke allows diagnosing severe disphagia phase  and preventing serious respiratory complications.
