Intalere’s Quality and Patient Safety Department welcomes Yvette Gaughan, MS, RD, LDN from Nestlé Health Science. With an estimated 24 million cases in the U.S. alone, Dysphagia is a common condition. However, if left untreated, dysphagia can often lead to malnutrition and dehydration and if undiagnosed, can lead to aspiration pneumonia or even chronic lung disease. Our discussion today will include a brief overview of what dysphagia is, the clinical presentation of dysphagia and the signs and symptoms it presents. We hope this information will help increase your knowledge on some of the key aspects related to the management of dysphagia.
If you are interested in learning more about the EAT 10 Screening tool or the wide variety of dysphagia products available through Nestlé, please contact your Nestlé Health Science representative or visit us at www.nestlehealthscience.us
