a. consult a speech therapist for swallowing assessment.

Rationale: The ability to swallow secretions without aspiration has traditionally been evaluated with the use of blue dye. A teaspoon of water colored with blue dye is swallowed by the patient. Respiratory secretions are then monitored for 24 hours for appearance of the dye, which would indicate aspiration. Recent studies, however, do not support the sensitivity of this test. It is therefore no longer recommended. Instead, clinical assessment by a speech therapist, videofluoroscopy, or fiberoptic endoscopic evaluations of swallow are recommended. Patients should begin swallowing with thickened liquids, not plain water. Ability to swallow should be assessed with the cuff deflated, inasmuch as cuff inflation may interfere with swallowing ability.
