Respiratory-Swallow Coordination in Cardiothoracic Surgical Patients

NCT05173207 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 8

Last updated 2022-07-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Dysphagia (swallowing impairment) is a common complication of cardiothoracic surgery (CS). Although alterations in respiratory-swallow coordination is a known underlying pathophysiologic mechanism of dysphagia in multiple patient populations, no group has examined respiratory-swallow physiology in CS patients. The proposed study will examine respiratory-swallow physiology in CS patients and determine its association with unsafe swallowing and inferior health-related outcomes.
