Dr. Aviv, the inventor of FEESST (Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing with Sensory Testing), provides an innovative approach to the assessment and treatment of swallowing disorders. The book, written for the medical professional, is illustrated with numerous photos, and also features practical coverage of the use of instrumentation as well as case examples. FEESST enables otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, and pulmonologists to raise the level of care for their patients with swallowing problems. This is an essential text for all physicians, clinicians and speech pathologists that treat swallowing disorders. For the first time this new examination allows direct assessment of both the motor and sensory aspects of the swallow, enabling physicians to precisely guide the dietary and behavioral management of patients to decrease the risk of aspiration pneumonia. Dr. Aviv, along with Dr. Thomas Murry, PhD, SLP, provides readers with the science behind the instrumentation, the protocols for its use, and detailed case studies demonstrating its value in evaluating and managing diverse groups including patients with a history of reflux, recent stroke patients experiencing difficulty swallowing or throat clearing or choking during meals. FEESST is also applicable to patients with an underlying diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, ALS, or dementia, along with patients with a history of upper respiratory infections, unexplained fevers, aspiration pneumonia, or asthma.

Clinical Management of Swallowing Disorders

The diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders continues to evolve into a major medical discipline that traverses multiple medical specialties, especially speech-language pathologists and otolaryngologists. This third edition of Clinical Management of Swallowing Disorders is a core textbook that addresses the needs of those who will treat swallowing disorders as well as those clinicians who currently treat swallowing disorders in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes and in private outpatient clinics. The essential aspects of dysphagia management are presented in a format that both beginners and clinicians needing a practical update on dysphagia will find useful. 
The third edition addresses clinical issues in a concise way, provides handy tabular information, and offers practical treatment options for a wide variety of swallowing problems with medical, surgical and behavioral treatment models. The text focuses on treatment of swallowing disorders and avoids long discussions on the causes and complications of many neuromuscular diseases and neurological conditions that result in dysphagia. The Clinical Management of Swallowing Disorders offers the practicing clinician a reference text of the procedures for the management of swallowing disorders.
