Purpose:
To provide a two-day advanced FEES training for Speech-Language Pathologists with prior knowledge, training, and experience in endoscopic assessment of oropharyngeal swallowing to improve observation, analysis, and interpretation of clinical findings, and to write concise, informational reports.
Objectives:
At the completion of this course participants will be able to:
to identify and describe the physiological events relating to swallowing peristalsis and airway protection;
to list and define scoring scales to help quantify consequential events observed before, during, and after a swallowing event;
to identify and discuss the underlying biomechanical/sensory causes of abnormal oropharyngeal swallowing behaviors, which potentially determine directions for intervention and remediation;
to define and discuss the Three Pillars of Pneumonia from Aspiration and the role FEES plays in identification and analysis of factors related to potential pneumonia development; and
to complete a concise and clear report explaining endoscopic observations of normal and abnormal swallowing events, their underlying biomechanical causes relative to the primary medical diagnoses, and possible intervention approaches.
