orotracheal intubation (pOTI) and the post-extubation consequences. Methods: 150 patients …

Background Post‐extubation dysphagia reportedly occurs in 3%–60% of patients and is
independently associated with poor patient outcomes. Aim The aim of this study was to …

Introduction: Lesions in the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx due to endotracheal intubation
can cause reduction in the local motility and sensitivity, impairing the swallowing process …

Dysphagia after prolonged orotracheal intubation is reported to increases a patient's risk for
