Video Discription |
In this video Doctor O'Donovan explains fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing, or FEES.
This is an assessment co-ordinated by the speech and language therapist and run jointly with a second speech and language therapist and/or doctor.
Why is a FEES done?
FEES is done if you have had some difficulties swallowing or have had surgery or other treatment that may affect your swallowing. The speech and language therapists are trained to assess and treat swallowing problems and some throat symptoms. The FEES enables the speech and language therapist or ENT surgeon (when necessary), to examine your swallowing and your throat in detail. It also enables us to try different foods and/or different techniques if appropriate to help you swallow more effectively.
What happens during the FEES?
The procedure is conducted by two speech and language therapists. In some cases, other surgeons or speech and language therapists may be present. It usually takes 10 to 20 minutes and can be carried out at the bedside or in the clinic.
A small amount of local anaesthetic may be applied to your nose to enable a thin, flexible nasendoscope to be passed with minimum discomfort. A thin, flexible nasendoscope will be placed into one nostril and moved through your nose. When the end of the nasendoscope is positioned just beyond the back of the nose, a clear view of your throat is obtained. You will be able to see your throat (including your vocal cords) on the television monitor if you choose. You may be given some food and liquid to swallow. This is sometimes dyed with a small amount of blue or green food dye to enable a clearer view of your swallowing. Your swallowing will be observed and taped on video to enable analysis at a later time (if necessary).
