Background The modifications of fluid viscosity and/or volume are common strategies in
dysphagia management, with increased viscosity or reduced volume intended to reduce …

In this study we undertook careful analysis of 13 quantitative physiological variables related
to oropharyngeal swallowing from a sample of 42 subacute patients referred for dysphagia …

Objectives: The type of liquid (eg, water or milk) that should be used during flexible
endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) has received little investigation. Aspiration may …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: Although flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing
(FEES) is an established diagnostic tool, little data exist on the effects of varying liquid types …

This study aimed to determine the efficacy of carbonated and sweetened drinks added to
thickened liquids, which are routinely used for patients with dysphagia to improve …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the timing of the swallowing process and the effect of bolus
viscosity on swallowing. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: General …

Background: Cough may be an indicator of aspiration due to oral-pharyngeal dysphagia.
Methods: Relevant literature was identified by searching the Communication Sciences and …

Objective We examined the influence of liquid thickness levels on the frequency of liquid
penetration-aspiration in patients with dysphagia and evaluated the clinical risk factors for …

Purpose Thickened liquids are frequently used as an intervention for dysphagia, but gaps
persist in our understanding of variations in swallowing behavior based on incremental …

Clinical swallow protocols cannot detect silent aspiration due to absence of overt behavioral
signs, but screening with a much larger bolus volume, ie, 90 cc vs. 1–10 cc, may elicit a …
