Communicate and have difficulty in swallowing and need timely rehabilitation

In 2016, China's “Esperant. Speech Language Treatment Week” and Global International Communication Project Public Welfare Action (Guangdong Jieyang Station) was held in the city hospital on the 1st. The event aims to make more people understand communication barriers and dysphagia through extensive publicity. To allow more patients to benefit from and restore health.

It is understood that in 2010, the City Hospital will cooperate with the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University ("Zhongshan Third Hospital") to communicate and cooperate with dysphagia rehabilitation treatment related projects. At present, the rehabilitation department of the hospital is equipped with professional equipment such as x-ray swallowing function test (vfss) and American swallowing function treatment instrument. In order to meet the needs of business development, the department sent several backbone therapists to the Zhongshan Third Hospital for further study. At the same time, the professors of the Third Academy of Zhongshan invited the Zhongshan Hospital to conduct business guidance from time to time to continuously improve the communication barriers of the hospital and the level of rehabilitation treatment for dysphagia. According to statistics, more than six years after the implementation of the treatment project, the rehabilitation department of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has examined and treated nearly 1,000 patients and achieved good clinical results.

According to Lu Xiaobo, deputy director of the rehabilitation department of the hospital, a considerable part of patients with cerebrovascular accidents in daily life can be combined with communication disorders and dysphagia. Among them, communication disorders often become aphasia and dysarthria, while dysphagia has food or drugs that cannot be swallowed; coughing when swallowing, especially when drinking water; after swallowing, the food is stopped in the esophagus or chest and other clinical manifestations. Lu Xiaobo reminded that the most important thing for patients with communication disorders and dysphagia is to have early rehabilitation, which is very important for the recovery of patients. "Swallowing treatment can effectively reduce complications, improve the quality of life of patients, and prolong the survival of patients. Some patients can restore physiological swallowing function by swallowing treatment," Lu Xiaobo said.
