Identifying dysphagia in the intensive care unit: Validation of the Swedish version of the Gugging swallowing screen—Intensive care unit
This study indicates that the Swedish GUSS-IVA is a valid and reliable screen to identify dysphagic ICU patients. Given the negative impact of dysphagia on short and long-term patient outcomes, the Swedish GUSS-IVA is recommended as an essential first step by nursing staff for early identification of dysphagia for further diagnostics and subsequent patient management.
