Pediatric Dysphagia: A Multidisciplinary Approach is a
comprehensive professional reference on the topic of pediatric
feeding and swallowing disorders. Given that these disorders derive
from abnormalities in the function and/or structure of the airway
and digestive systems, multiple clinical specialists may be
involved in the evaluation and management of affected children at
any given point in time. This text therefore includes significant
contributions from a wide range of experts in pediatric dysphagia,
including all members of the Interdisciplinary Feeding Team at
Cincinnati Children's Medical Center. These experts present an
in-depth description of their roles in the diagnosis and management
of dysphagic children, providing the reader with an understanding
of why a multidisciplinary model of care is key to the optimization
of outcomes. Pediatric Dysphagia is divided into five parts. In
Part I, readers are provided with an overview of the embryologic
development of aerodigestive structures that relate to swallowing,
an introduction to neural organization related to swallowing
function and physiologic aspects of swallowing, a synopsis of oral
motor development, a discussion of the various etiologic categories
of feeding and swallowing disorders, and an overview of genetic
disorders associated with feeding and swallowing issues. Part II
covers the clinical and instrumental assessment of patients,
including the interdisciplinary feeding team infrastructure and
function, the roles of individual members of the feeding team, the
specific diagnostic tests commonly used in the assessment of
feeding and swallowing issues, the classification of neonatal
intensive care units, and the assessment and management of feeding
and swallowing issues encountered in the neonatal intensive care
unit. Part III focuses on the management of pediatric dysphagia,
covering a wide range of treatment strategies and interventions for
children with various categories of feeding disorders. Part IV
includes an introduction to the concept of evidence-based practice
and the application of evidence-based strategies in the management
of dysphagia. Part V presents a brief overview of the role of
ethics in healthcare and ethical considerations in the treatment of
dysphagic children. In summary, the overall aim of this
comprehensive text is to provide all pediatric professionals
involved in the care of dysphagic patients with a basic
understanding of the complexity of this disorder, the anatomic,
neurologic, and physiologic components involved in this disorder,
an overview of the diverse population of children who suffer with
this disorder, and with a wide range of management approaches based
on patient needs and capabilities. The authors also address
clinical problem solving and decision making, inspiring readers to
develop multidisciplinary models of care at their own institutions.
