Assessing Dietary Advancement for Dysphagia Patients at Risk for Aspiration

Research output: Contribution to journalMeeting abstractpeer-review

Abstract

Fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) evaluates oral intake safety by allowing direct observation of laryngeal function before and after swallowing. The purpose of this study was to delineate the impact of abnormal vocal fold mobility and altered laryngeal sensation on dietary management in hospitalized patients previously diagnosed with aspiration.
