Cleft Palate Exam 3

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What are indirect measures?   Do not allow for direct visualization, but provide objective data for VP function  
🗑
Two types of indirect measure of VPI   Nasometry and aerodynamic pressure flow  
🗑
What are direct measures?   Visualize aspects of velopharyngeal function but still requires interpretation  
🗑
Two types of direct measures of VPI   Speech videofluotoscopy, Nasopharyngoscopy  
🗑
What is Nasometry?   Measures amount of nasal acoustic energy in a person's speech, gives nanogram  
🗑
Nasalance   A measure of nasal energy  
🗑
Two advantages of nasometry   Easy to use, non-invasive, normative data for comparison, biofeedback  
🗑
Two disadvantages of nasometry   Cost of machine, difficult to properly fit mask  
🗑
What is aerodynamic pressure flow?   Measures oral air pressure, nasal air pressure, and rate of nasal airflow  
🗑
Two advantages of aerodynamic pressure flow   Minimally invasive, objective data for multiple measures, minimal patient risk  
🗑
Two disadvantages of aerodynamic pressure flow   Cost, difficult to use, lots of equipment to fit  
🗑
What is video fluoroscopy?   Similar to MBSS but barium is in the nasal cavity, used to visualize structures during speech and at rest  
🗑
Two advantages of videofluoroscopy?   Obtain images in multiple views (lateral, frontal, etc.), easy to conduct, good for velar length, closure, shape  
🗑
Two disadvantages of video fluoroscopy   Radiation (exam <3 mins.), difficult to record sound and synchronize with image, invasive  
🗑
Nasopharyngoscopy (flexible nasal endoscope)   ENT does this, flexible scope through nasal cavity to view VP port  
🗑
Advantages for nasopharyngoscopy   View VP closure dynamically, can see exact measures of VP gap, phoneme specific emissions  
🗑
Disadvantages for nasopharyngoscopy   invasive, high level of cooperation required, costly equipment, if need anesthetic can't eat or drink after  
🗑
What is magnetic Resonance Imaging?   Post-surgery when suspect VPIdue to attachment of elevator fibers to hard palate, confirms sub mucous cleft, whole head scan  
🗑
Clinical application of MRI   Only way to see muscle working in living person  
🗑
Where do you refer a child with resonance issues, regardless of cleft?   Cleft craniofacial team and SLP, not ENT  
🗑
Where do you refer a child with speech errors unique to cleft speech, regardless of cleft?   SLP who specializes in resonance, not ENT  
🗑
Why don't refer to ENT?   They're not as good at diagnosis with this kids  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
