[Dysphagia] cervical auscilation

[Paula.Leslie at newcastle.ac.uk (Paula leslie)]

Hello Shari

I would advise that you evaluate the evidence base for this technique 
carefully before deciding to use it, and certainly before parting with any 
money for tapes/courses etc.  Similarly I would be interested to see on what 
grounds any procedures/policies are based.  Ask the producers of such 
materials to demonstrate on what basis this intervention is "evidence based 
medicine"?

Good Luck!

Paula

>Is anyone aware of a way to teach and determine competency on cervical 
auscultation?  I was looking for a tape, a virtual online teaching site or any 
written procedural or policy on the topic.  Please let me know if anything is 
available.  Thank you very much.
