[Dysphagia] Logemnn Robbins study
In my experience, yes.....I know people (SLPs) who LOVE thickener....the
thicker the better. Thicken even when only penetration is seen during a
MBS.

of the recent revelation of the dehydrating effects of thickeners and
the
failure of thickening and chin tuck to prevent aspiration. The authors
acknowledge that the ciliary clearance of aspirated thickened fluids
probably causes the resultant pneumonia. This is undoubtedly more true
of
gum based thickeners. It would seem that management, especially of the
elderly, requires immediate alteration.
