AbstractIndependent of the type of critical illness, tracheostomized patients have a high risk of developing a dysphagia. This is potentially life-threatening as it can lead to aspiration and pneumonia. It is therefore essential to perform swallowing diagnostics by means of a bolus dyeing test and/or FEES before oral feeding. Since a physiological airflow through the larynx and adequate subglottic pressure are key components of an effective swallowing act, oralisation should be avoided as far as possible with a blocked tracheal cannula.Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
