[Dysphagia in Tracheostomized Patients after Long-Term Mechanical Ventilation - Become Sensitive to Reduced Pharyngo-Laryngeal Sensitivity]. Anasthesiol Intensivmed Notfallmed Schmerzther. 2019 Mar;54(3):218-222 Authors: Heidler MD Abstract Independent of the type of critical illness, tracheostomized patients have a high risk of developing a dysphagia. This is potentially life-threatening as it can lead to aspiration and pneumonia. It is therefore essential to perform swallowing diagnostics by means of a bolus dyeing test and/or FEES before oral feeding. Since a physiological airflow through the larynx and adequate subglottic pressure are key components of an effective swallowing act, oralisation should be avoided as far as possible with a blocked tracheal cannula.
