Difference of Oral Intake Potential after Vide Fluorography

Abstract

Patients diagnosed their oral intake possibility after video fluorography survey, divided into 2 groups. The 24 patients belonged to eating group and 11 patients belonged to no eating orally group even after rehabilitation. The succeeded to eat group began rehabilitated within 3 months after their causal disease onset, and mostly did not suffered from pneumonia and dementia. No succeeded group mostly suffered from dementia and/or aspiration pneumonia, and 60 % of them delayed their rehabilitation onset to 6 months after their causal disease. The causal disease itself and ages had almost no effect. The important points we noticed were for 1) early onset of rehabilitation, for 2) rapid and correct diagnosis by video fluorography. and for 3) appropriate teaching of oral eating.
