The Bedside Swallow Evaluation: What Should Be Included (Part II)

The bedside swallow evaluation, also known as the Clinical Swallow Evaluation, is a critical first step when it comes to assessing swallow function and formulating a solid plan of care.

So important that I wanted to do a Part 2 episode dedicated to this topic.

If you haven’t checked out Part 1 yet, you can tap the link below to hop right over and review that first before diving into part 2.

In Part 2, we’re going to look at specific tools that should, and maybe shouldn’t, be included.

Watch and Enjoy!
