Study Summary
This is an investigator initiated prospective study to determine whether the use of a negative pressure suction in the hypopharynx will reduce the amount of aspiration during Video Fluoroscopic Swallowing Exam (VFSE) among patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia.
Primary Outcome
Degree of aspiration or laryngeal penetration, evaluated by the validated Rosenbek Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS). The PAS scale is an 8-point (1 to 8), equal-appearing interval scale: 1. Material does not enter airway 2. Material enters the airway, remains above the vocal folds, and is ejected from the airway. 3. Material enters the airway, remains above the vocal folds, and is not ejected from the airway. 4. Material enters the airway, contacts the vocal folds, and is ejected from the air
