When a Child Aspirates

چکیده
Suzanne Evans Morris, Ph.D. Speech-Language Pathologist New Visions 1124 Robert's Mountain Road Faber, Virginia 22938 (804)361-2285 The ability to swallow safely is the primary prerequisite for becoming an oral feeder. When a child aspirates, oral feedings are often discontinued, and the child is given a feeding tube for eating. Many professionals recommend stopping the use of food at home and in therapy programs until the child swallows without aspirating on a modified barium swallow study. This leaves parents and therapists with many questions, and implies a wait-and-see approach.

Aspirations of the ilium and proximal femur increase the likelihood of culturing an organism in patients with presumed septic arthritis of the hip
PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that collecting material for culture from metaphyseal bone of the ilium and proximal femur at the time of a hip aspiration will increase the sensitivity to detect an infectious organism in patients with presumed septic arthritis of the hip. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a series of 36 patients with presumed septic arthritis of the hip, based on clinical ex...
متن کاملSampling variability in the microbiological evaluation of expectorated sputa and endotracheal aspirates.
A five-center study was conducted with the aim of determining how reproducibly expectorated sputa and tracheal aspirates could be sampled when preparing Gram-stained smears and inoculating cultures. With both specimen types, excessive variation was noted among Gram stain results obtained from replicate smears. Less variation was noted among culture results, especially with tracheal aspirates.
متن کاملThe search for a useful method for the optimal cryopreservation of adipose aspirates: part I. In vitro study.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that trehalose, when used alone as a cryoprotective agent (CPA), can maintain the viability of living tissue after cryopreservation and therefore may be used clinically for the future banking of human fat grafts. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal concentration of trehalose used as a CPA for the cryopreservation of adipose as...

متن کاملCryopreservation of adipose tissues: the role of trehalose.
BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that one of the sugars, trehalose, can improve tissue survival after cryopreservation when combined with other cryoprotective agents, and thus may possibly be used in cryopreservation of adipose tissues that have been found more resistant to injury after freezing. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to test our hypothesis that lipoplasty-derived adip...
