Clinical Trial: Ultrasound vs. Nasofibroscopy for Evaluating Dysphagia After Extubation in the ICU

U.S., July 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07734298) titled 'Ultrasound vs. Nasofibroscopy for Evaluating Dysphagia After Extubation in the ICU' on June 15.

Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance and concordance of bedside cervical ultrasonography compared to Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) for the early detection of post-extubation dysphagia in critically ill adult patients.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the degree of diagnostic concordance (Kappa index) between cervical ultrasonography and nasofibroscopy (FEES) for detecting dysphagia in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)?

* What are the sensiti...
