Swallow therapy research has grown over the course of the last decade. We now know that most commonly used swallowing techniques are no longer effective in treatment of swallowing disorders.
Myth #1... Thicker is better! We all heard that one before! The second the patient coughs, liquids get downgraded to thickened liquids. Miles et. al (2018) found that patients may be more likely to silently aspirate thickened liquids than thin liquids. So just because a patient coughs with thin liquids and does not cough with thickened liquids does not mean that they are not aspirating! The patient may be silently aspirating! As more research emerges, we realize that thickeners are not as benign as initially thought and it should not be prescribed without instrumental studies. We need to weigh the risk of pulmonary harm and other risks of thickened liquid use prior to prescribing them for each patient.
