Finding the red flags: Swallowing difficulties after cardiac surgery in patients with prolonged intubation.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:This retrospective audit set out to identify referral rates, swallowing characteristics, and risk factors for dysphagia and silent aspiration in at-risk patients after cardiac surgery. Dysphagia and silent aspiration are associated with poorer outcomes post cardiac surgery. METHODS:One hundred ninety patients who survived cardiac surgery and received more than 48 hours of intubation were included. Preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative information was collected. RESULTS:Forty-one patients (22%) were referred to speech-language pathology for a swallowing assessment. Twenty-four of these patients (13%) underwent instrumental swallowing assessment, and silent aspiration was observed in 17 (70% of patients diagnosed as having dysphagia via instrumental assessment). Multilogistic analysis revealed previous stroke (P < .05), postoperative stroke (P < .001), and tracheostomy (P < .001) independently associated with dysphagia. The odds ratio for being diagnosed as having pneumonia, if a patient was diagnosed as having dysphagia, was 3.3. CONCLUSIONS:Patients identified with dysphagia after cardiac surgery had a high incidence of silent aspiration and increased risk of pneumonia. However, referral rates were low in this at-risk patient group. Early identification and ongoing assessment and appropriate management of dysphagic patients by a speech-language pathologist are strongly recommended.
