Purpose of review

The aim of this study is to review the scope of practice of speech language pathologists (SLPs) in the daily practice of neurocritical care.

Recent findings

In patients with aphasia, impairment-based or function-based language interventions improve outcomes. Augmentative and alternative communication devices can help certain patients with severely impaired speech production. After tracheostomy, one-way speaking valves can be placed either in-line with a ventilator or after weaning; it has been shown that earlier placement is associated with faster decannulation. Swallow screening, bedside swallow evaluations, and instrumental swallowing evaluations such as videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS) or fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) are valuable tools for diagnosing dysphagia and identifying candidates for percutaneous enteral gastrostomy. Deficit-based rehabilitation of dysphagia is centered on re-training swallowing muscles and reorganizing neural synapses involved in swallowing function, capitalizing on the principles of neuroplasticity and motor learning. Neuromodulation therapies such as pharyngeal electrical stimulation can promote functional reorganization of cortical pathways involved in swallowing and show promise to improve swallow function and reduce aspiration risk.

SLPs are essential members of the multi-disciplinary neurocritical care team, particularly with regard to the evaluation and management of communication, cognition, and swallowing dysfunction.

Ann Am Thorac Soc. 2021;18(10):1693–701. https://doi.org/10.1513/AnnalsATS.202010-1282OC . This trial compared placement of a one-way speaking valve within an accelerated (median 22, interquartile range [IQR] 21–23 hours) versus standard time frame (median 45.5, IQR 43-) hours). Patients in the early speaking valve placement had a longer tolerance of speaking valve use (median 65, IQR 45–720 vs 15, IQR 3–20 mins) overall. There were no aspiration or hypoxic events in either group. This study highlights the feasibility and safety of early speaking valve placement after tracheostomy.
