학습 자료 둘러보기 →In ALS, the swallowing central pattern generator in the medulla is disrupted, causing severe neurogenic dysphagia. Aspiration pneumonia and airway obstruction are the leading causes of mortality.
The ABC framework mandates airway protection as the highest priority. Immediate interventions include a bedside swallow assessment, positioning the client upright (90 degrees) for all oral intake, and ensuring suction equipment is set up and functional.
Do not rely solely on the gag reflex to assess swallowing safety; it is often absent in healthy adults and is a poor predictor of aspiration risk in ALS. A formal speech-language pathology evaluation is essential.
