Book excerpt: Essential for every physician who sees patients with impaired swallowing, FEESST (Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing with Sensory Testing) provides physicians with a quantum leap forward in the evaluation and management of patients with impaired swallowing. The examination allows direct assessment of both the motor and sensory aspects of the swallow, which enables physicians to precisely guide the dietary and behavioral management of patients with swallowing problems to decrease the risk of aspiration pneumonia.
