Abstract

Objective: To determine the viscosity of liquid added 1%, 2%, 3% xanthangum. Then,
to apply viscosity levels of thickened liquid on stroke patients with dysphagia. Subjects
and methods: measure viscosity of thickened liquid by Rotational Viscometer B type.
Assess dysphagia by MASA tool and apply thickened liquid on stroke patients in Vietnam
Friendship Hospital. Results: Viscosity of water+1% xanthangum was 250-1000mPa.s,
2% and 3% were 1000-5000mPa.s and 5000-9000mPa.s, respectively by using Rotational
Viscometer B type. The average of water by oral intake was 826.6444.3ml/day. Stroke patients with more severe difficulty swallowing consumed less water and responded better
with higher viscosity of liquid following the standard. conclusion: The thickened liquid
responds well to the degree of dysphagia on stroke patients.
