Bedside Swallow Evaluation Survival Guide
Step-by-step Guide to Bedside Swallow Evaluations for the Newer Medical SLP
A bedside swallow evaluation—also called a clinical swallow evaluation (CSE)—is an SLP assessment done at the patient’s bedside to determine:
- Whether the patient may have oropharyngeal dysphagia
- How safely they appear to manage saliva, food, liquids, and medications
- What immediate diet, supervision, positioning, and aspiration precautions may be appropriate
- Whether they need an instrumental swallow study, such as an MBSS/VFSS or FEES
It is usually the first swallowing assessment in an acute-care setting. This survival guide will help break down the different components of a bedside swallow evaluation - and it’s designed to help students, clinical fellows or newer medical SLP’s feel a whole lot more confident as they navigate the acute care hospital setting.
