Spanish term

deglución fraccionada

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Trastornos de la deglución
Hello,

I need some help. I'm struggling with the construction "deglución fraccionada en 2 a 3 tiempos" in an imaging report. Here's the context:

Se prueba con consistencias líquidas hasta sólidas como agua, jugo, puré y galleta apreciándose presencia de deglución fraccionada en 2 a 3 tiempos especialmente con consistencias más sólidas.

I'm not sure if "fractionate deglutition" would be an option, and I don't quite get the idea of "2 a 3 tiempos". Is it referring to the phases of deglutition?

Thanks in advance!

no findings with "fractionated", only two findings with "fractional" (translation?)
Peer comment(s):

agree Isabelle Villancher : Lots of references for "multiple swallows". Also quite a few for "piecemeal deglutition"

agree Muriel Vasconcellos : Recently had this test. The video images show that the food only goes down after multiple swallows.

fractional swallowing

"Son signos de alteración de la deglución el sello labial alterado con emisión de alimento fuera de la cavidad oral, deglución oral fraccionada requiriendo deglutir el bolo en fragmentos, y presencia de residuo faríngeo tras la deglución."
https://seorl.net/PDF/Laringe arbor traqueo-bronquial/120 - ...


"...the percentage of patients with OD (a mixture of ENT diseases, neurodegenerative diseases older people and post-stroke patients) showing post-swallow pharyngeal residue was seen to increase as bolus viscosity increased; likewise, an increase in fractional swallowing was also noted secondary to this residue."
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00455-016-9696-8

"Impaired efficacy of swallow is identified by the presence of any of the following clinical signs during the test: Oral residue, impaired labial seal, fractional swallow, or pharyngeal residue."

It seems to refer to the swallowing of the bolus in stages.

two to three swallows

I think you have to look at the whole phrase, "deglución fraccionada en 2 a 3 tiempos", which neither of the previous answers does.

Reference:

fractionated deglutition

You can only swallow 2-3 times before the body forces you to stop! - It seems to me that this phrase means the deglutition is not consecutive but intervaled (fractionated)
Swallowing=deglutition
