Difficulty swallowing is relatively common among patients, but working up dysphagia can certainly cause distress among clinicians. In this presentation we will discuss types of dysphagia, common imaging for evaluation, as well as testing available to secure a diagnosis. No need to “bite off more than you can chew,” when we will be breaking down what can be done for patients who do not feel like things are going down.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
Articulate what encompasses dysphagia
Identify patients at risk for dysphagia and common ways patients describe dysphagia
Explain common procedures used in the workup of dysphagia in a way patients can understand
