Abstract

Introduction: Studies on quantitative analysis of swallowing are extremely important, however, the parameters of normality are not yet defined in the literature and there are different scales for evaluating the biomechanical phenomena of this function. Investigating the different definitions of the quantitative temporal variables can contribute to a better definition and determination of the times and physiological markers of swallowing for different populations. Objective: To analyze, quantitatively, the oral phase of swallowing of individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Method: 25 clinically stable adult individuals with COPD were included, mean age 65.7 ± 8.9, both genders. The analysis was made from the swallowing video fluoroscopy (VFD). Three blind and trained judges performed the analysis of the quantitative temporal variable Oral Transit Time following the classification proposed by two different authors (TTO and TTOT), as well as the visual-perceptual variables. Dental conservation status was also assessed. Results: TTO of 2.09s for liquid and 1.61s for pasty was observed, and TTOT of 2.34s and 1.84s for liquid and pasty, respectively. TTOs are altered and higher as the severity of COPD increases. For both consistencies, the location of the swallowing trigger occurred in upper anatomical regions. There was no early posterior escape and pharyngeal residue in most patients. Conclusion: There was an alteration in the oral phase of swallowing in individuals with COPD who presented increased TTO and poor dental preservation.
