Summary

This investigation evaluates the effectiveness of a device called the Aspirometer, which uses high resolution cervical auscultation (HRCA), in detecting when food or liquids enter the airway (aspiration) of the person swallowing, whether the person swallowing shows signs of aspiration (coughing) or not.

Conditions

  • Deglutition Disorders

Interventions

DEVICE

Aspirometer

a triaxial accelerometer and a contact microphone affixed with tape to patient neck, a data accrual infrastructure, algorithms that decode swallow physiology noninvasively

DEVICE

Videofluoroscopic X-ray

MBS is a fluoroscopic diagnostic test to evaluate swallowing physiology. Its images are judged by humans trained to do so.
