[DYSPHAGIA] MBSS Question



Two questions to those who are doing Modified Barium Swallow Studies
or Videoflourography Evaluations of Swallwing (whatever you prefer to call
it) :
1) how do you evaluate very obese or high quad/vent patients that will not
fit between standard flouro tube and verticle table? (many may be using
C-arm, if so do you record images on VHS tape or digital system? doing c
arm bedside?)
2) does anyone do MBSSs without a radiologist present for EVERY study or
eval? (does anyone have radiologist review tape later for interpretation?)
If these topics have been discussed then please direct me to a key word for
search, so far I cannot locate anything with the obvious keywords searched.
Thanks in advance for this informal survey!
