Clinical Trial Summary

The aims of the study are to determine: 1) the prevalence of ICU acquired dysphagia, 2) identify risk factors for ICU Acquired dysphagia, and 3) consequences of ICU acquired dysphagia including: ICU mortality, hospital mortality, days of mechanical ventilation, ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay, post extubation aspiration pneumonia, and rate of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placed feeding tube (PEG-Tube) insertion, and/or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and/or Dobhoff feeds.


Clinical Trial Description

The RC will collect daily data on the use of advance life support, need for mechanical ventilation and outcomes (mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay). Enrolled patients will undergo a water sip test in the ICU and a videofluroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) performed by a registered speech-language pathologist (SLP). A VFSS is a videotaped or digitized dynamic fluoroscopic image that focuses on the oral, pharyngeal, laryngeal and upper esophageal swallow physiology. Patients will then be followed as two cohorts 1) patients that have dysphagia (or abnormal test) based on the VFSS, and 2) patients who have normal VFSS. We will then prospectively follow these two groups of patients during hospital stay censored at 30 days. ;
