Implementation of a Free Water Protocol at a Long Term Acute Care Hospital: A Feasibility Study

2022-03-09

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>This feasibility study aimed to trial a Free Water Protocol (FWP) for patients with thin liquid dysphagia in the Long-Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) setting. Patients with dysphagia are often prescribed thickened liquids to avoid or mitigate aspiration. While this clinical intervention can minimize the risk of aspiration pneumonia (PNA), it is generally not well received by patients....
