Patients after tracheostomy often present swallowing dysfunctions but little is known about the mechanism underlying dysphagia and its reversibility. The aims of this study were: 1) to characterize swallowing dysfunctions in patients with dysphagia and tracheostomy; 2) to evaluate the reversibility of these changes; 3) to evaluate the possible influence of the underlying disease.

Abstract
Patients after tracheostomy often present swallowing dysfunctions but little is known about the mechanism underlying dysphagia and its reversibility. The aims of this study were: 1) to characterize swallowing dysfunctions in patients with dysphagia and tracheostomy; 2) to evaluate the reversibility of these changes; 3) to evaluate the possible influence of the underlying disease.File in questo prodotto:
