[Dysphagia] Frazier Water Protocol

[pleasantville at netexpress.net (Dave Tews)]

I don't recall actually seeing the Frazier Water Protocol in publication, but I have met with Kathy Panther from Frazier who was instrumental in developing the protocol.  I also have a colleague who uses the FWP at his facility and is giving national and international presentations on the Frazier Water Protocol.  He also stresses the importance of good oral hygiene.  I would highly recommend attending one of his conferences to learn all about the Frazier and which patients are eligible, for whom it is contraindicated, etc. Send me a personal email and I can give you further info.
