FEESST

FEESST (Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing and Swallowing Safety Test) is a diagnostic procedure that helps assess how well a person swallows and whether food or liquids might go into the airway, risking choking or pneumonia. Using a small, flexible camera inserted through the nose, doctors observe the swallowing process in real-time while the patient consumes small amounts of food or liquid. This test provides valuable information about swallow safety and function, guiding effective treatment or therapy plans for individuals with swallowing difficulties.
