[DYSPHAGIA] FEES: consents for patients/normals?

[andreahirsch@yahoo.com (Andrea Hirsch)]

I work in an acute care hospital and our SLP
department is in the process completing our FEES
competencies by passing the scope on 25 "normals." 
Last week we had a "normal" go into a vasovagal
reaction/seizure.  We are now considering having our
"normals'" sign a consent form prior to volunteering. 

My question(s): are other facilities using consent
forms with normals and/or patients?  Have you
encountered any adverse reactions with
patients/normals, such as laryngospasm or vasovagal?
Is a MD present when you pass the scope on
patients/normals?  

Any information and feedback would be appreciated. 
Please email:
andreahirsch@yahoo.com

Thank you.

Andrea S. Hirsch, MA, CCC-SLP
