Comprehensive Management of Swallowing Disorders

Comprehensive Management of Swallowing Disorders, Second Edition has been revised with new authors and expanded information on the clinical evaluations made by dysphagia specialists and with state-of-the-art medical, behavioral, and surgical treatment options. The editors have selected specialists in every swallowing-related discipline to bring this edition to a true "state-of-the-art" comprehensive text on dysphagia. The text meets the needs of students, scientists, and practitioners who are involved daily with the complex issues of dysphagia.

It is divided into seven main parts:

• Part I. Introduction
• Part II. Anatomy and Physiology of Swallowing
• Part III. Evaluation: A. Clinical Evaluation
• Part III. Evaluation: B. Functional Tests
• Part IV. Pathophysiology of Swallowing Disorders
• Part V. Nonsurgical Treatment of Swallowing Disorders
• Part VI. Surgical Treatment of Swallowing Disorders
• Part VII. Swallowing Disorders: Prevalence and Management in Special Populations

Each section has been carefully edited with up-to-date references and provides the reader with a host of new material related to diagnosis, testing, and management of swallowing disorders. The authors represent the current core of those involved in multidisciplinary swallowing centers, and each focuses on his or her area of specialization. They bring their own perspective on the issues and challenges they face in managing swallowing disorders, knowing that other specialists are equally involved. This single volume is intended for practicing clinicians, students, and research scientists and represents up-to-date information in each area of specialization.

Reviews

"Comprehensive Management of Swallowing Disorders addresses the overall diagnosis and management of swallowing disorders in a large variety of clinical situations. The textbook is divided into 7 parts, each of which contains multiple specialized chapters. The text begins with an introduction to swallowing disorders and anatomy and physiology of swallowing. It progresses into the evaluation of swallowing disorders from both a clinical and objective standpoint. Each part thereafter focuses on the pathophysiology of swallowing disorders, including a plethora of etiologies evident in a variety of settings, but most commonly in the acute care hospital.

The textbook discusses both surgical and nonsurgical treatments of swallowing disorders including another array of clinical situations. The textbook concludes with a few short chapters on the management of dysphagia in specialized populations. The chapters on the pathophysiology of swallowing disorders really help the reader understand the cause of the swallowing impairment to better manage these patients. The described etiologies are prevalent in any hospital setting and even outpatient care. This work utilizes functional pictures and applicable, thought-provoking questions to promote learning.

This work is relevant for any health care professional involved in managing patients with swallowing disorders. It would be most applicable to otorhinolaryngology residents and physician assistants and nurse practitioners who work within an otorhinolaryngology department. This text would also be a great resource for physiatrists, who also help manage these patients with swallowing disorders. From a speech pathology perspective, this textbook is a nice resource for a student/newer clinician as opposed to a seasoned clinician."

"Disorders of swallowing feature in the ISCP Otolaryngology syllabus as part of the Head and Neck category. Although grouped into one discrete subject, the specific learning points are far more disparate. The Comprehensive Management of Swallowing Disorders by Carrau et al. proves to be a worthy compendium in understanding this topic. Now in its second edition, this paperback book comes packed with information on swallowing disorders, distilled into 550 pages.

Following a rousing foreword by Professor Peter Belafsky, the text is divided into seven parts breaking the topic of swallowing disorders into sections such as clinical evaluation, functional testing, pathophysiology, surgical and medical management. The final part is concerned with dysphagia in special populations: including children and the elderly. The chapters, by and large, are well-written in a concise manner that is easy to follow. The multidisciplinary nature of dysphagia management is made very apparent in the third part, where the perspectives and different roles that other healthcare professionals play is considered through their own specific chapters. Chapters on "the normal swallow" and functional tests in evaluation are particularly useful and well explained. Some other chapters tend to move further away from an otolaryngological perspective and may be more useful as "good to know" information. . . . . This book will prove valuable as a reference text when studying the topic of dysphagia, especially to a higher level. It will also prove of equal worth for our colleagues in speech and language therapy and gastroenterology—to name but a few."

"I often start a book by looking at the authors and contributors and their credentials. The majority of these contributors are all senior professors within various university hospitals in the US, and few quick literature and google searches indicate they are all highly respected within their fields. The book itself is divided into seven parts and then further subdivided into chapters. This makes it very easily digestible and quick when looking for something in particular. The parts are sequential (like a patient journey) from anatomy to clinical evaluation, pathophysiology and treatment. The final part covers specialist areas such as paediatrics and critical care patients. The text is very well-written in an easy-to-read format and, quite importantly, from a multidisciplinary team perspective. It is very evidence-based with all points referenced to journal articles, which appear at the end of each chapter. There is not a huge number of pictures or photographs, but those present are very relevant e.g. barium swallow and endoscopic findings. In summary, my short review is unable to do this book justice. I would suggest it is useful as background reading and a reference book for ENT trainees but a must-have for anybody with a 'comprehensive' interest in swallowing disorders."
—Omar Mulla, ENT Specialist Trainee, Doncaster Royal Infirmary, UK, in ENT & Audiology News (May/June 2017)

"...one of the most comprehensive books on dysphagia. Its contents inform on the nature of swallowing, the etiology of relevant disease, evaluations, diagnosis and interventions for swallowing problems in adults. It could thus be useful for nutritionists and dietitions, pediatricians, occupational therapists, gastroenterologists, otorhinolaryngologists, neurologists, surgeons, speech and language pathologists, and families of patients with swallowing problems. This second edition textbook is divided into seven sections that each address a fundamental knowledge gap, providing a comprehensive foundation from which future treatment innovation can be made."
