Medical SLP

Role of Modern Medical SLP

What is the nature of the patient’s dysphagia?

How likely is current disease related to dysphagia?

What is risk of future disease due to dysphagia?

Can that risk be lowered?

How?

These questions are far less commonly asked by referring physicians, of other professionals

Ventilation Principles

Lungs (alveoli) have a tendency to collapse

Elastance (or surface tension)

Chest wall has a tendency to expand

Elastance Elastance

Chest wall is connected to lungs, which

Maintains lungs partially inflated at rest

Maintains chest wall partially collapsed at rest

22

Major Events in Ventilation

PhrenicNerve

Diaphragm contracts, 

pulling on lung and pushing on 

viscera

Alveolar inertia
