Summary

Dysphagia significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality in non-critically ill patients (as e.g. in stroke). Long term consequences of dysphagia include, among others, malnutrition, prolonged enteral tube feeding and increased risk of aspiration. In the present observational analysis, the investigators aim to elucidate the incidence and the impact of dysphagia on the clinical course of a mixed population of ICU patients post invasive mechanical ventilation.
