What happens when you take a Modified Barium Swallow test or study?
The Modified Barium Swallow test seeks to show the individual's swallowing pattern and any swallowing problems the patient is experiencing. - No patient preparation is necessary before the test. You can eat and drink normally. - The total study takes about 10 minutes, with 5 minutes of fluoroscope imaging. - Patient is seated or standing. - The patient consumes a small variety of items containing barium, including thin liquid, thick liquid, semi-solid (pudding), solid (cookie) and a barium tablet. - The study is video-recorded for later play-back and analysis. - The testing is done by a Radiologist and a Speech Pathologist (expert in Swallowing Disorders.) - It evaluates swallowing, including oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and cervical esophagus. - It detects the presence of aspiration (getting food in the air tube) and the causes. - If the patient aspirates (inhales food), therapy is provided to help control it. After the examination, you can resume your usual diet and take your usual medications unless told otherwise by your doctor. For a day or two your bowel movements may look white because of the barium. Sometimes the barium can cause temporary constipation, which can be treated by an ordinary laxative. Drinking more fluids for several days following the test can also help.
