Silent aspiration: Who is at risk?

ConclusionSilent aspiration may be associated with a number of underlying conditions and is more common than previously described. Caregivers and clinicians should be aware that the absence of cough does not eliminate the possibility of aspiration. Modified barium swallow studies can reveal silent aspiration, which is difficult to detect on clinical feeding evaluation. Modified barium swallow findings can guide feeding therapy and the overall management of aspiration. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 2017 (Source: The Laryngoscope)
