[Dysphagia] Dysphagia Predictors

[vwood at doh.health.nsw.gov.au (Vicky Wood)]

** High Priority **

Hi Everyone,

We are currently in the preliminary stages of conducting a dysphagia
research project. We would appreciate everyone's input on the following
topics.

1. What particular aspects of a patients medical history would indicate
to Speech Pathology that they are at risk of dysphagia? E.g CVA

2. What aspects of the patients presentation, prior to bedside
screening, would also indicate risk of dysphagia? E.g facial weakness

If you can provide as many responses as you can think of that would be
much appreciated.

Thankyou,
Rebecca Black and Vicky Wood (Central coast health)
