I have 2 questions, (for now), pertaining to FEES. For you in the acute care settings, did you have to go through  a credentialing process to gain privileges to perform FEES. If so, how stringent was the process. Was it above and beyond what has been recommended at the Langmore seminars????? I know it is hospital specific, just taking a poll.  The 2nd question--how is your endoscope stored between uses?????


Another question--different topic. Where did the term cricopharyngeal bar originate? Is it a speech or radiology driven term? I ask b/c our radiologists are unfamiliar with it and  the dysphagia book, older edition by Groher, never mentions a cp bar. Is it a newer term?  

As always, thank you in advance for any and all information--

Kelly
