[Dysphagia] FEES procedure

[jrandrep at utmb.edu (Andrepont, Jennifer R.)]

Do any of you use topical anesthesia (not a spray) when passing flexible scopes for FEES?  Do you have the patients sign consent forms?  Do you have any guidelines, protocols, or safety factors for use of anesthesia?

Thanks,
Jenny
