Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) provide intervention for communication challenges and swallowing disorders (dysphagia) that are common in cases of severe burns because of ventilator use, prolonged or multiple intubations, and tracheostomy tubes. To identify current inclusion of SLP services in burn care management, a survey was sent to 139 burn units across the United States. Results revealed limited inclusion of SLPs in burn care despite pertinent areas of SLP expertise. Education of burn care teams on the benefits of SLP inclusion is needed. Potential benefits in pain and medical management reducing length of hospitalization and increasing cost-effective care by inclusion of SLPs in burn care management warrants further research.
言语语言病理学家（SLP）为因使用呼吸机、长时间或多次插管以及气管造口管而在严重烧伤病例中常见的沟通障碍和吞咽障碍（吞咽困难）提供干预。为了确定目前SLP服务在烧伤护理管理中的纳入情况，向美国各地的139个烧伤病房发送了一份调查问卷。结果显示，尽管SLP有相关专业领域，但在烧伤护理中的纳入情况有限。需要对烧伤护理团队进行关于纳入SLP的益处的教育。将SLP纳入烧伤护理管理在疼痛和医疗管理方面的潜在益处，包括缩短住院时间和提高护理成本效益，值得进一步研究。
