Swallowing disorders (dysphagia) can develop due to neurological diseases such as stroke (most common cause), craniocerebral trauma, multiple sclerosis or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
If the nervous system is damaged, the muscles and organs involved in the swallowing process can be affected. In our intensive care shared apartments, we specialize in caring for patients with swallowing disorders.
For example, our trained staff conducts swallowing training and we work with experts from various professions, including:
In addition, we offer the care of patients with tracheostomas in the BIZ intensive care shared flats. Because with particularly severe swallowing disorders, some patients accidentally breathe in food (aspiration), which can lead to pneumonia. In these cases, a tracheostomy with a tracheostomy tube can protect the patient's airway.
Patients with swallowing disorders in particular benefit from our out-of-hospital intensive care services. Outpatient care in our BIZ has the following advantages, for example:
As part of comprehensive swallowing training, we work with patients to optimize the swallowing process - in patients with a tracheostomy with the aim of decannulation.
The average staff ratio in our intensive care shared apartments is 1:3. This means that one nurse attends to a maximum of 3 patients.
In our facilities, we employ highly qualified staff who are specially trained in the demanding intensive care of patients with swallowing disorders.
Our shared apartments are modern and furnished according to the latest technical standards. The high-quality equipment contributes to the fact that our patients feel comfortable with us.
