Liquid Wash | Used for residue after the swallow- oral, vallecular, pharyngeal wall, pyriform sinuses.....alternate bites of solids/semi-solids w sips of thin/thick liquids |
Larger Bolus | Used for delay triggering pharyngeal swallow....bc it enhances the sensory input in some patients |
Multiple Swallows/Bolus | Used for significant oropharyngeal residue....swallow 2-3 times w each bite/sip. rationale: decreases risk for asp by clearing residue before add'l bolus is attempted. |
