Dysphagia Bedside Screening for Acute-Stroke Patients

Abstract: The GUSS offers a quick and reliable method to identify stroke patients with dysphagia and aspiration risk. Such a graded assessment considers the pathophysiology of voluntary swallowing in a more differentiated fashion and provides less discomfort for those patients who can continue with their oral feeding routine for semisolid food while refraining from drinking fluids.

“…The patients were allocated in the study at the time they were admitted in the cerebrovascular accident unit (initial assessment) and reassessed 48 hours after the first assessment. This period between the two assessments was established in accordance with the recommendations of researchers (2,(5)(6) , who stated that respiratory aspiration is a clinical condition that occurs to a lack of specialized personnel and the equipment required to perform videofluoroscopy, we checked the clinical signs proposed in two studies (7)(8) : dysphonia, dysarthria, abnormal gag reflex, abnormal voluntary cough, cough after swallowing, and voice change after swallowing. Two or more of six of these signs indicate respiratory aspiration.…”

“…The results are consistent with a majority of studies found. Low specificity is certainly related to the difficulties of the clinical method to confirm those who do not show clinical signs and also did not aspirate, was on account of the possibility of silent aspiration 20,21 . Although we did not use pulse oximetry during clinical evaluation, in view of the overall motor difficulties of the population with CP and the variations caused in the instrument, the literature shows that when oximetry has been used in the post-stroke population, the specificity increased significantly [22][23][24] .…”
