Summary

The main purpose of the study is to determine whether the Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) is effective in detecting laryngeal penetration and tracheal aspiration when compared with the Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study (VFSS) in bottle-feeding infants in the NICU. A secondary objective is to determine whether FEES can be used to detect laryngeal penetration and tracheal aspiration in breastfeeding NICU infants.
