Fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing

Susan G Hiss et al. Laryngoscope. 2003 Aug.

Abstract

Objectives/hypothesis: Approximately 8 million people in the United States report some degree of dysphagia annually; as the population continues to age, this will become a greater problem. A comprehensibly performed and interpreted fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing provides invaluable information for the evaluation and management of individuals with dysphagia or aspiration, or both.

Study design: Review.

Methods: The state-of-the-art technique, interpretation, predictive value, and safety of fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing was reviewed.
