Ultrasound vs human eye: which better predicts when to remove feeding tubes?
NCT ID NCT06877897
Summary
This study compares two methods for deciding when to safely remove feeding tubes from adults recovering from swallowing problems. Researchers will test whether ultrasound scans of the throat are as good as or better than speech therapist assessments at determining when patients can eat by mouth again. The goal is to find the most reliable way to help patients transition away from feeding tubes while minimizing risks like choking or pneumonia.
