[Dysphagia] FEEDING PATIENT WITH BIPAP VENTILATION

Hello. I am wondering if anyone could share their swallowing
asssessment/ feeding practices/ policies with patients requiring CPAP or
BiPAP ventilation via face mask. I am trying to establish an evidence
based protocol for our acute respiratory unit and finding the literature
to be quite lacking. Any suggestions/ advice would be greatly
appreciated.
 
Many thanks.
Olga
