note = "Background: Critically ill trauma patients frequently require prolonged endotracheal intubation and ventilator support. After extubation, swallowing difficulties may exist in ≤50\% of patients. We sought to determine whether performing a swallowing evaluation would reduce the incidence of postextubation aspiration and subsequent pneumonia. Design: Randomized, prospective clinical trial of fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) vs.",
