In this episode, Dr. Brodsky discusses when to assess or screen for swallowing function post extubation – what has been done in the past, what is going on today, and what should you do tomorrow? Dr. Brodsky describes a life altering incident that has shaped his career, and we also discuss the importance of clinical research, evidence-based medicine, and why it’s called clinical “practice.”
