Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Presence of any consistence Airway Aspiration

    Direct observation of any consistence food (liquid/semisolid/solid) penetration or aspiration by direct inspection with Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing with Sensory Testing. There is no follow-up period as this is a prevalence study. All measurements will be done at time 0. The only experimental feature (according to ClinicalTrials.gov definitions) is that we use FEEST to detect evidence of airway aspiration and this is not a routine examination in COPD patients.

    Baseline (Time 0)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Aspiration Risk

    Baseline (Time 0)

Study Arms (1)

Aspiration in COPD patients

EXPERIMENTAL

All COPD patient will be evaluated systematically by FEESST (Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing with Sensory Testing) with direct evaluation of aspiration by direct observation.

Procedure: FEESST

Eligibility Criteria

Age65 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsOlder Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • \- Patients over 64 years diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease guide GOLD criteria (FEV1 / FVC ratio post bronchodilator \<0.70)

You may not qualify if:

  • Refusal to participate or to process oral informed consent
  • Contraindication for the FEESST (history of vasovagal episodes, bilateral nasal obstruction, impaired homeostasis or frequent bleeding, dyskinesia, maxillofacial trauma or recent neck).
  • Impaired understanding or cognition that hinder the consent or performing diagnostic tests required.
  • Diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease associated with swallowing disorders known: Parkinson, stroke with neurologic sequelae.
