[DYSPHAGIA] Velopharyngeal insufficiency testing
I am posting this for one of my staff and the questions is VPI related and not swallowing although it involves FEES.
One of our pediatricians wanted to know if there was any research out there on the efficacy or benefit of using endoscopy vs cineflourography to assess VP function. Some of our patients travel to a larger city where there is a children's hospital and are returning with endoscopy (FEES) reports to assess VPI and he needs reassurance this is sufficient. I can speak to him from what I as a FEES therapist know and what I see but this is a person best served by reading a study..... Any one have any references out there?
Thanks
