[Dysphagia] Vfss/mbss preparation

We do the same with children.  With adults they only need to fast if the MBS will be followed by an UGIS

At Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas, we just ask them not to eat breakfast--in the hopes that the hungrier they are, they will be more willing to eat "our foods".  Our pt. population is pediatric.  Our studies are scheduled for 8 and 9 in the morning.

Hi All,
What do your facilities say to patients in preparation for modifieds/videos?
E.g., do they ask them to fast for x number of hours prior?  Just wondering
what the general consensus on preparation is.
I have never had anyone refrain from anything oral or enteral prior to a
study, but the radiology tech/mgr just emailed me stating we should have
patients fast for 12 hours prior to the procedure.
What say you all to this?
Thanks,
Kim
