DYSPHAGIA ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT PLANNING: A TEAM APPROACH
patient’s energy needs and number of calories required will be low, necessitat­ing the selection of nutrient-dense food. “Nutrient dense” means that food with low calorie content must also provide a significant balance of protein, vitamins, and minerals, with so-called empty calories kept to a minimum. The goal is to ensure nutritional adequacy of pro­tein, vitamins, and minerals without excess weight gain, likely to further impact mobility.
NUTRITIONAL GOALS
Calories
Daily calorie requirements for adults are based on a calculated reference (ideal) weight for height in kilograms (Table 13–3). A maintenance base is 25 to 35 kcal per kilogram reference weight per day. Additional allowance must be made for increased activity or metabolic stress. The obese patient may lose weight using their “ideal” weight in the calculation and require adjust­ment of the energy goal if weight loss is unacceptable.
Protein
Patients with dysphagia often pre­sent with significant weight loss that includes loss of fat and loss of lean mus­cle mass. The loss of muscle mass nega­tively impacts swallowing function, as effective swallowing relies on strong muscular contraction. Rehabilitation of swallowing function often focuses on muscle-strengthening exercises but must also include increased protein intake to allow for recovery of adequate muscle function for swallowing.
The National Academy of Medi­cine currently recommends 0.8
g of protein per kilogram reference weight daily dietary intake for an adult (Insti­tute of Medicine, 2005). However, with increasing recognition that loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) in older adults leads to frailty, there is a call for increased protein in both the younger and older adult diet (>1.2 g protein per kilogram per day) (Bauer et al., 2013; Baum et al., 2016; Courtney-Martin et al., 2016; Deutz et al., 2014; Traylor et al., 2018). Individuals with higher dietary protein intake demonstrate greater muscle mass and fewer physi-

cal limitations (Khanal et al., 2021; Nilsson et al., 2018). Increasing dietary intake of protein above 1.2 g per kilo­gram per day in patients with sarcope­nia and dysphagia has been associated with an increase in tongue strength and improved swallowing ability (Nagano et al., 2020). It is important to note that increasing dietary protein alone does not always increase muscle mass in the elderly and that both resistance training and aerobic exercise are needed to opti­mize the benefits of increased dietary protein (Rogeri et al., 2021). The type and quality of the protein as well as the timing of protein intake throughout the day plays a role (Deer & Volpi,
2015). In particular, the amino acid leu­cine has been found to be important in muscle metabolism and repair (Landi et al., 2016; Szwiega et al., 2021). Food sources of leucine include salmon, chickpeas, brown rice, eggs, soybeans, nuts, and beef.
The National Academy of Medi­cine sets a wide range for acceptable protein intake as a percentage of total calories calories each day. Beyond that, there’s relatively little information on the ideal percentage of the dietary protein or the healthiest target for calories contributed by protein. In an analysis conducted at Harvard among more than 130,000 men and women who were followed for up to 32 years, the percentage of calo­ries from total protein intake was not related to overall mortality or to spe­cific causes of death (Song et al., 2016).
health conditions on protein metabo­lism must also be considered in indi­vidual patients (Phillips et al., 2020). Protein requirements can be increased

For anabolism or during periods of stress, the value is increased by 0.75 g protein per kilogram reference weight. In burn and trauma patients, protein require­ments may be increased by an addi­tional 1.2 g protein per kilogram (Phil­lips et al., 2020).

Fluid
There are many accepted formulas to determine appropriate fluid levels for adults. A general guideline is 1 mL fluid per kcal. Another method uses a range of 25 to 40 mL per kilogram reference weight per day. Fluid needs decrease with age. Influences on fluid require­ments include amount of total body surface area, illness, activity level, and temperature of the environment. Fluid needs are, in part, proportional to body surface area. The obese person would have increased needs over the person within their ideal weight range.
Vitamins and Minerals
In an adult eating orally, a multiple vitamin/mineral supplement may be indicated if nutritional energy needs are less than 1,500 kcals per day (ADA Reports, 2005; Fairfield & Fletcher,
2002). As individuals age, absorption of vitamins and minerals may become less efficient, necessitating a nutri­ent-dense diet. Check the National Institutes of Health website for up-to­date information on nutrient intake

recommendations (www.ods.od.nih .gov). The site contains useful informa­tion on recommendations for healthy intake of a variety of macro- and micro­nutrients.
TRANSLATING CALORIE­PROTEIN-FLUID NEEDS INTO A TREATMENT PLAN
Once the target values for calories, protein, and fluid intake have been established, the route of nutrient inges­tion must be considered. Conventional oral eating, facilitated by strategies as needed, is the most desirable. Oral intake combined with enteral tube feed­ing may also be recommended. This combination may be used when fatigue or some other limitation may impact the patient’s ability to rely totally on oral feeding. It cannot be emphasized
enough that patients receiving enteral feeding are not necessarily precluded from eating some orally. This may be
very important for the social and emo­tional well-being of the patient. Some patients with progressive diseases caus­ing dysphagia believe that once they begin with enteral feeding, they will no longer be able to eat orally. Actually, if they supplement an oral diet with tube feeds that allow them to receive adequate hydration and nutrition, they may be able to prolong the time they can take foods by mouth because they have maintained muscle strength and coordination through good nutrition. It may be possible to continue to eat orally for pleasure and for social interaction even if optimal nutrition cannot be sup­ported completely by this route. Other
patients will require enteral feeding for all their nutrition. Whatever method is prescribed, constant reevaluation is needed to determine if the current option is working or remains appro­priate. During these periods, the dieti­tian provides the team and the physi­cian managing the patient’s care with a quantitative analysis of food consump­tion by reviewing food diaries kept by the patient or caregiver.
Oral Feeding
If oral feeding is recommended for the patient, the dysphagia therapist will determine what restrictions must be applied to ensure safe oral feeding. The dietitian will help identify foods that both appeal to the patient and meet the safety requirements imposed. In short, the dietitian will translate the team’s prescription into everyday foods that the patient can consume in sufficient quantities to meet nutrition or hydra­tion needs.
Textures encompass a continuum including pourable liquids of differing viscosities, gel consistencies, slippery puree foods that deform from shape with gravity, stiffer purees that hold their shape, combinations of puree and ground texture, and a fine chop. The normal adult swallower enjoys the full range of the texture and viscosity, but the dysphagic patient may find the tol­erable viscosity range restricted, that is, shifted to the low or high end, or compressed from both extremes. The texture continuum in relation to tran­sit ability and airway protection is pre­sented in Table 13–4.

DYSPHAGIA ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT PLANNING: A TEAM APPROACH
The International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) was launched in 2013 with the goal of devel­oping globally standardized terminol­ogy and definitions for the texture of foods and liquids so that communica­tion regarding dietary modification recommendations would be under­stood across health care professionals, systems, cultures and countries. The IDDSI consists of eight levels of food consistency thickness with detailed
instructions regarding testing methods to determine the thickness category of any given food or liquid (Figure 13–2) (Cichero et al., 2017). Detailed instruc­tions for determining food viscosity are available on their website (www. iddsi.org). The standardized methods proposed in the IDDSI can be applied to any foods and thus can be applied across cultures with significantly differ­ent dietary customs. A further advan­tage of implementing the IDDIS testing

methods for various food stuffs is the application of those testing methods to the videofluoroscopic swallow study with respect to the viscosities sampled on the study. Those consistencies found to be safe on the videofluoroscopic swallowing study can be reproduced with greater accuracy in the diet.
Many hospitals, rehabilitation cen­ters, and long-term care facilities have developed specialized diets for dys­phagic patients. They are often called, for example, a “soft diet,” “pureed diet,” or “thickened liquids” (McCal­lum, 2003). However, there may be little instruction and collaboration with the kitchen staff, who may be left to deter­mine the contents of such a diet on their own. It is therefore important that mem­bers of the dysphagia team meet with food service managers in the central kitchen to sample and test food items from the patient tray line and work together to standardize the nomen­clature and contents of modified diets served at the facility (Appendix13–B).
Special Concerns: Liquid Dysphagia
A patient with a thin liquid dyspha­gia may have difficulty maintaining adequate hydration. All fluid intake must be contained in some gradient of thicker liquid to gel-form food. It is helpful that pureed fruit, vegetables, and meat contain a high percentage of their weight as water. However, with­out some form of thick to thickened liquids, a patient will likely consume inadequate fluid. A variety of commer­cial thickeners is available either by direct order or from local pharmacies. Some common household foods also
work well for thickening. Examples of commercial and household products available for this purpose are listed in Appendix 13–C.
If patients are able to consume suf­ficient fluid in the form of puree foods, gels, and thick liquids, they may find that the total calorie intake needed for adequate hydration is higher than needed for energy requirements, result­ing in excess weight gain. Unwanted weight gain may also occur in the patient with dysphagia to dry foods managed by preparing foods in more sauce or gravy dishes, which increases the moisture and slipperiness of the foods but also increases the calo­ries. These issues can be mitigated by reducing the caloric value of the food preparation.
NONORAL FEEDING
Total Parenteral Nutrition
When oral feeding is not an option for a patient, other avenues of food intake must be considered. One such alterna­tive is total parenteral nutrition (TPN). TPN is able to provide total nutrition using a large flow capacity vein and a central line, in contrast to peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN), using a peripheral vein accessed with a simple intravenous (IV) catheter. (PPN can­not usually meet full nutrition needs related to the concentration of nutrients in a low-flow, smaller, peripheral vein.) Advances in enteral feeding formulas and feeding tubes have made TPN less popular than in the past. TPN is costly and invasive, represents an infection risk, and bypasses the gut, enhancing potential for bacterial translocation (the
302

integrity of the gut is decreased with lack of exposure to nutrients, and bac­teria normally retained in the gut can pass to the bloodstream) (Kudsk, 1994; Kudsk et al., 1994; Minard & Kudsk, 1994; Moore & Moore, 1991). However, TPN must be used when the gut is non­functional because of prolonged ileus, or short bowel syndrome, or where there are contraindications to placing a feeding tube. For ICU patients, both TPN and enteral feeding, used together, may optimize nutrition better than the use of either method alone (Alsharif etal., 2020).
ENTERAL FEEDING
Severe dysphagia may require the placement of a feeding tube to deliver nutrition safely with sufficient volume. Feeding tubes can be placed through the nose or percutaneously from the surface of the abdomen into the stom­ach and/or the jejunum (Figure 13–3). An enteral feeding tube placed nasally may have the tip of the tube located in the stomach (nasogastric [NG]), duode­num (nasoduodenal [ND]), or jejunum (nasojejunal [NJ]). Tubes placed percu­taneously into the stomach (percuta-

neous endoscopic gastrostomy [PEG]) may have single or dual lumens access­ing the stomach (gastrostomy tube [G-tube]), stomach and duodenum (gastroduodenal tube [GD-tube]), or jejunum (gastrojejunal tube [GJ-tube]). Tubes may also be placed percutane­ously directly into the jejunum (endo­scopic jejunostomy [PEJ]). The use of endoscopy during percutaneous feed­ing tube placement involves passing an endoscope from the oral cavity through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to the point of desired feeding tube insertion. The use of endoscopy allows confirmation of tube placement in the desired location.
Concurrent consideration of multi­ple factors is required to determine the type of feeding tube that best serves the needs of the patient. These include the following:
n
Anticipated duration of enteral
feeding (and likelihood of return to oral intake).
n
Ability to protect the airway,
degree of aspiration risk, and pulmonary reserve to withstand aspiration (delivery sites vary in terms of possible airway risk from reflux).
n
Presence of impaired gastric emp-
tying may preclude feeding into the stomach (i.e., gastroparesis).
n
Types of enteral feeding formula
available (i.e., commercial ready to feed, name brand or store brand, or homemade).
n
Availability of feeding pump for
continuous feeding (gravity drip bolus or syringe bolus recom­mended only into the stomach).
n
Cosmetic considerations (an NG
tube is visible, whereas a G-tube
or J-tube may be concealed behind clothing).
n
Patient compliance with location
(i.e., an agitated patient can more easily remove an NG tube than a G-tube that can be concealed behind a dressing or an abdomi­nal binder when not in use).
n
Availability and condition of or-
gan to be an access site.
n
Selection of feeding schedule (con-
tinuous or intermittent feeds can be delivered into stomach, duode­num, or jejunum, but bolus [gravity or syringe] feeds should be admin­istered only into the stomach).
Nasogastric feeding is generally selected when the duration of time on tube feeding will be relatively short (perhaps weeks), with normal empty­ing of the stomach and no evidence of uncontrolled esophageal reflux. Partic­ular advantages of the NG tube are its relatively noninvasive placement and cost-effectiveness (Figures 13–4, 13–5, and 13–6). In some cases, an NG tube can be used to drain secretions or gas before a postanesthesia patient’s stom­ach begins to regulate and then used for feeding when more normal stomach behavior is restored (see Figure 13–4).
Nasoduodenal tubes are appropriate for short-term feeding when gastro­esophageal reflux is expected or when there is an increased aspiration risk or decreased rate of stomach emptying. Acontinuous feeding rate is employed and commercial formulas are used pri­marily because these feeding tubes are often smaller in diameter and more prone to plugging (Figure 13–7).
The nasojejunal feeding route requires a longer tube (43 in. compared with
