Abstract/Summary
|
-
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can lead to severe disease courses with multiple organ involvement, respiratory and neurological functional impairments. Swallowing disorders (dysphagia) in this patient group can result from primary damage to the central and peripheral neuronal swallowing network but also from the frequently prolonged intensive care treatment and mechanical ventilation. Clinical observations indicate persistence of dysphagia in post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (long COVID), so that these patients probably also need long-term interventions for rehabilitation of safe and sufficient oral feeding. Therefore, structured disease-specific monitoring of dysphagia symptoms should be integrated into the treatment of COVID-19 patients and respiratory therapy should be an essential part of dysphagia management to re-establish cough effectiveness and breathing-swallowing coordination. Challenges arise from necessary adjustments to established treatment standards to prevent infections. Furthermore, the selection and intensity of therapeutic measures have to be adapted to the capacities and the specific pathophysiology of COVID-19 and long COVID patients to prevent further functional deterioration.
