Abstract :

Speech and he� care in burned patients with vocal and orofacial alterations is extremely important and necessary in hospital beds. However, the indication of the speech therapist is not well valued. For this reason, the objective of this study is to show the speech-language pathology demand in patients affected by burns in Brazil who need care in the specialties of voice and motor orofacial. The method was carried out through a systematic review of articles published in the SCIELO, TEDE and LILACS database, with inclusion and exclusion criteria with the objective of reaching data that evidence the speech-language pathology demand in burn patients. A survey was carried out between the years of 2008 until 2016, where seven articles with the proposed subject were selected. All studies involve the relation of burned patients with Speech Therapy in the field of oral and vocal motor rehabilitation. The findings in publications are within the theme proposed in the paper, affirming the phonoaudiological demand in all the articles found. The total number of articles reporting orofacial motor care and six reporting vocal changes in individuals affected by inhalation burns. There has been a significant increase in the number of publications on the subject, however, in the proposed research, it can be stated that both burns that face and inhalations cause alterations in the mobility of phonoarticulatory organs and changes in the mucosa of the rhinopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx. Further, the need for more in-depth studies to confirm the importance of professional speech-language pathologists with the cited audience.
