Her diagnoses included gastronomy status (medical condition where an individual has a tube surgically placed to provide direct access to the stomach), dyskinesia of esophagus (condition characterized by abnormal muscle movements in the esophagus, the muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach), dysphagia pharyngeal phase (difficulties in swallowing), metabolic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction resulting from systemic metabolic disturbances), and acute pulmonary edema (accumulation of fluid in the lung parenchyma (pertaining to or resembling the functional elements of an organ or tissue)).
