Caracterización de parámetros acústicos del tiempo de deglución en mujeres universitarias, usando el sonar Doppler y Deglutisom.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Recent studies have helped to identify the sequential processes, which transports the alimentary bolus from the mouth to the stomach, by means of a resonancial conduit that provokes a series of sounds at the moment of the conduction of the food, by means of this one can find acoustic parameters that allow to give an analysis of the state of the swallowing, The Doppler sonar and the Deglutisom software are used with a view to innovation, in order to answer the following question: What are the acoustic parameters of the swallowing time of university students in the city of Bogotá, taking into account intrinsic and extrinsic factors? METHODS: The Infostat software is used to analyze the information. RESULTS: Differences in swallowing time are evident between viscosities and body mass index ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION: it is possible to identify important variations that characterize the swallowing time in pharyngeal phase in women from 18 to 28 years according to Colombian anthropological characteristics CONCLUSIONS: The results found in this research show the importance of the use of sensitive stimuli pleasant for users, at the time of evaluation, in order not to perceive variations in the time of swallowing, which may interfere with the diagnosis.
