Abstract

Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure focused on providing an alternate breathing path, in which its greatest consequences are communication and swallowing impairments.Speech therapy evaluation and intervention is essential within the rehabilitation process of tracheostomized patients, taking into account the swallowing and phonatory consequences associated. The aim of this article is to highlight the role and actions of the speech language therapist in the restoration of altered functions in the case of a female patient with a tracheostomy, who went to the emergency department of a public hospital in Bogotá, Colombia, due to swallowing disorders. Standardized and subjective tests were applied for speech therapy assessment. The management plan was developed focused on the restoration of swallowing and phonatory function as well as the intervention to maintain the orofacial state, sensitivity and mobility of the structures. Improvements were evident in swallowing effectiveness and safety, a successful adaptation of the speaking valve and maintenance of language and cognition skills, preserving the communicative state. In conclusion, this case study provides a significant contribution regarding regarding the importance of the speech therapist role, the application of knowledge and strategies based on literature and analysis, evaluation and intervention.
