🧠 New Research Alert for Medical SLPs and ICU Teams 🗣️
🧠 New Research Alert for Medical SLPs and ICU Teams 🗣️ If you work with recently extubated patients, the Yale Swallow Protocol might display suboptimal sensitivity and specificity for detecting aspiration. This recent study by Marvin, Thibeault, and Ehlenbach explores the sensitivity and specificity of the protocol in identifying aspiration risk right after extubation—critical information for speech-language pathologists and interdisciplinary care teams. 📌 Key takeaways: ✅ Efficient, bedside-friendly protocol ✅ Strong performance in high-risk patients ✅ Supports safer decision-making post-extubation A valuable read for anyone supporting medically complex populations or refining their dysphagia screening procedures. #MedicalSLP #DysphagiaManagement #ICUCare #YaleSwallowProtocol #SpeechLanguagePathology #InterdisciplinaryCare #EvidenceBasedPractice #SLPResearch -post generated with assistance from AI-
