CVAS: A Rapid Dysphagia Evaluation Tool.

Abstract
A simple-to-administer test for dysphagia was developed at our institution. The test can be administered rapidly and easily in the Emergency Department (ED) by a nurse or other qualified medical person, making formal consultation with a speech pathologist for rapid determination of dysphagia unnecessary. Our study shows that the use of the test does not increase the incidence of aspiration pneumonia.
