43%

of skilled nursing facility residents have difficulties eating (Clinical Intervention in Aging, 2013)


67%

of patients on a modified diet or liquid did not have dysphagia upon reevaluation with FEES (Bice et al., 2024)

61%

of patients in a skilled nursing facility with a feeding tube did not have dysphagia (Bice et al., 2024), suggesting the need for a FEES exam

66%

cheaper to use mobile video-endoscopy than

of an ambulance & hospital-based 

x-ray swallow study

          ⭐ Mobile Instruments exams (FEES) guide clinical decision-making.

          ⭐ Continuing acute care diet recommendations in a skilled nursing facility increase costs incurred by the facility                        (Bice et al., 2024)

          ⭐ Altered diets can lead to malnutrition and dehydration!

          ⭐ Modified diets negatively impact patient QOL (Bice et al., 2024) and can lead to malnutrition and dehydration,                      which lead to increased infections, reduced wound healing, and increased re-hospitalizations.

          ⭐ Unnecessary diet preparations, nutritional supplements, dysphagia-related illness like UTIs and

                Hospital readmissions COST YOU MONEY!

          ⭐ Instrumentals (FEES) help your facility avoid the expensive negative outcomes later!

          ⭐ New imaging is required to inform treatment when medical status changes (Bice et al., 2024)

  • Does the FEES procedure hurt?

    No, the procedure does not hurt. Sometimes people report that it is uncomfortable, but most of the time, when the exam is done correctly, patients do not seem to notice any discomfort. Many patients we have examined will say things like "That's it?" or "Oh, that wasn't so bad!"

  • Are your procedures safe?

    Yes, although there are always risks with any procedure. The risks with the FEES procedure are minimal. Patients may not be appropriate for the examination if they are severely agitated, have a cardiac disorder, history of vasovagal episodes (fainting), history of epistaxis (nosebleeds), recent facial trauma, or obstructed nasal passages. All of these may result in complications during a procedure.

  • Do you use any anesthesia during the procedures?

    No, we do not recommend the use of anesthesia as it may affect the reliability of the swallow study. We can, if desired, use a non-anesthetic lubricant through the nose if necessary.
