... ; especially when all comorbid issues in a given system are not identified early in the diagnostic process. Clear, timely delineation of primary and comorbid physiological deficits of the upper aerodigestive tract is desirable when considering the selection of the most cost-effective holistic treatment(s) particularly given the existing evidence pertaining to cross-over treatment effects [53][54][55][56]. Such an approach to identification and management of aerodigestive issues may be considered a superior philosophy of comprehensive airway management across populations. ...

... The place of cRMT in the treatment algorithm of dysarthria needs to be confirmed, however, several aspects should be considered for effective integration of this approach into the therapeutic strategy. Strengthening the respiratory muscle groups by cRMT can be expected to have a holistic effect on some of the potential comorbidities, including dysphonia and dysphagia [36,55]. Furthermore, the diaphragm not only functions as the main breathing muscle, but also as a postural muscle [56]. ...

... Incorporating respiratory-swallow analysis in the assessment of pre-and post-lung transplant MBSS is unexplored. Respiratory-swallow (RST) training has proven both feasible (Hopkins-Rossabi et al., 2019) and beneficial in many populations (Athukorala et al., 2014;Martin-Harris et al., 2015) as has respiratory muscle strength training (RMST) (Arnold & Bausek, 2020;Brooks et al., 2019;Eom et al., 2017;Hegland et al., 2016;Hutcheson et al., 2018;Plowman et al., 2019), though both are unexplored in this population (pre-and post-lung transplant). For posttransplant patients, treating SLPs should work closely with the pulmonary transplant team to determine RST and/or RMST and cough testing candidacy, which will be unique in every patient case. ...

... Anxiety and stress have been associated with cardiopulmonary symptoms such as hyperventilation, chest tightness, dyspnea, tachycardia, and palpitations (Hamasaki, 2020;Kavan et al., 2009). Breathing interventions including yoga breathing (pranayama; Brown & Gerbarg, 2009), Diaphragmatic (Deep) Breathing (Hamasaki, 2020;Hooper et al., 2018), and respiratory muscle training (RMT) may aid with stress and anxiety and decrease cardiovascular disease risk Bausek et al., 2020;Shaikh et al., 2019). Complete RMT (cRMT) focuses on strengthening both the expiratory and the inspiratory respiratory muscles . ...

... The direct effect of cRMT on peak flow on the participants in the intervention group was not unexpected given the nature and intensity of the training and existing data from other studies [36,37,51]. It is likely that the experimental group participants experienced an increase in both inspiratory strength (resulting in higher initial lung volumes for the task), and forced expiratory strength (allowing for higher expiratory flow volume for the task). ...
