Dysphagia in Thoracic Surgical Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The proposed study seeks to determine the incidence of dysphagia and vocal fold mobility impairment (VFMI) in individuals undergoing throacic surgical procedures. It also seeks to determine the impact of postoperative swallowing impairment on health-related outcomes.

Clinical Trial Description

Swallowing impairment and VFMI are common, yet often overlooked, complications of thoracic surgical procedures. The true incidence of both dysphagia and VFMI in this patient population is unclear due to a lack of rigorous study using instrumental assessment techniques and validated outcomes in all patents undergoing thoracic surgery. The study is therefore aimed to determine the incidence of dysphagia and VFMI in this patient population and to characterize impairment profiles related to swallowing safety and efficiency. In addition, the study is also aimed to assess the relative impact of VFMI and dysphagia on health-related outcomes such as length of hospital stay, pneumonia, sepsis, reintubation, and discharge status ;
