I work for a large acute level I trauma hospital and wanted some input
from those with an opinion. What are your feelings on administering
bedside swallow evaluations on patients with acute tracheostomy tubes
in place? Any concerns about silent aspiration? Baroreceptor
dysfunction? Decreased sensation? Tethered larynx? I'd be VERY
interested in your thoughts!
