Accuracy of a Bedside Dysphagia Screening: A Comparison of Registered Nurses and Speech Therapists

Abstract: Evidence‐based guidelines suggest that stroke patients should be screened for dysphagia before oral intake. The purpose of this study was to validate a dysphagia screening tool comparing registered nurses (RNs) with speech therapists (STs). All stroke unit patients who received predetermined scores on specific items of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale were eligible for screening. The trial consisted of three parts (with swallow, cough, and vocal quality observed during each part): 1 teaspoon lemo… Show more

“…In these studies, the patient had to ingest the liquid and some signs were observed during and after the intake. There were also articles that showed screening instruments with two procedures (17,22,28,39) , containing one observational part and the other a swallowing test using water or food of different viscosities.…”

“…Studies have shown that other healthcare providers can safely perform the initial screening before the speech language pathologist assessment. 903,915,916 In a prospective 15-hospital study, use of a formal dysphagia screening protocol, which incorporated an evidence-based screening tool, was associated with improved compliance with dysphagia screenings and a significantly reduced risk of pneumonia. 917 The Toronto Bedside Swallowing Screening test, an evidence-based tool for swallow assessment, has been evaluated successfully for interrater reliability and predictive validity.…”

“…[6][7][8] Of these cases, 65% present this symptom within the first 5 days of hospitalization, leading to a sixfold increase in risk for aspiration pneumonia and a threefold increase for mortality. [9][10][11][12] Pneumonia after stroke is frequently associated with the presence of laryngotracheal aspiration, 2%-25% of which are concomitant with silent aspirations. 13,14 Diverse protocols have suggested that the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) can be a predictor in the identification of dysphagia risk in patients after stroke, despite not making reference to deglutition.…”
