description | OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of tracheostomy tube capping on swallowing physiology in stroke patients with dysphagia via videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS). METHODS: This study was conducted as a prospective study that involved 30 stroke patients. Then, 4 mL semisolid swallowing was conducted with capping of the tracheostomy tube or without capping of the tracheostomy tube. The following five parameters were measured: laryngeal elevation, pharyngeal transit time, post-swallow pharyngeal remnant, upper esophageal sphincter width (UES), and penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) score. RESULTS: On assessment of the differences in swallowing parameters during swallowing between ‘with capping’ and ‘without capping’ statuses, statistically significant differences were found in the post-swallow pharyngeal remnant (without capping, 48.19%±28.70%; with capping, 25.09%±19.23%; p<0.001), normalized residue ratio scale for the valleculae (without capping, 0.17±0.12; with capping, 0.09±0.12; p=0.013), normalized residue ratio scale for the piriform sinus (without capping, 0.16±0.12; with capping, 0.10±0.07; p=0.015), and UES width (without capping, 3.32±1.61 mm; with capping, 4.61±1.95 mm; p=0.003). However, there were no statistically significant differences in laryngeal elevation (x-axis without capping, 2.48±1.45 mm; with capping, 3.26±2.37 mm; y-axis without capping, 11.11±5.24 mm; with capping, 12.64±6.16 mm), pharyngeal transit time (without capping, 9.19± 10.14 s; with capping, 9.09±10.21 s), and PAS score (without capping, 4.94±2.83; with capping, 4.18±2.24). CONCLUSION: Tracheostomy tube capping is a useful way to reduce post-swallow remnants and it can be considered an alternative method for alleviating dysphagia in stroke patients who can tolerate tracheostomy tube capping when post-swallow remnants are observed. |
