We no longer use 'blue dye' in the tube feeding in our hospital. However,
the Speech Pathologists continue to use it during bedside swallowing
assessments on patients with tracheostomy tubes as a front line rough
diagnostic tracer or indictor to help determine appropriatness/necessity to
pursue MBS. We also use it during FEES exams as a contrast.  So, for
diagnostic purposes.                 Barb

i was informed by a repiratory therapist that blue dye may not be legal any 
more. Is this true or are therapists still using this to assess aspiration?

Thanks.
