The Effects of High-Coating White Water, Low-Coating White Water, and Milk on the Identification of Swallowing Safety and Efficiency in Healthy Adults as Assessed via Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing: A Pilot Study
High-coating white water resulted in increased observed penetration events (likely due to its coating effect) compared to low-coating white water and milk while still underidentifying aspiration seen more frequently with milk test boluses in healthy adults.
