A bedside swallowing screen for the identification of post-extubation dysphagia on the intensive care unit – validation of the Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS)—ICU

Abstract: Purpose Screening for dysphagia at the intensive care unit (ICU) soon after extubation can prevent aspiration, pneumonia, lower mortality, and shorten re-feeding interval. This study aimed to modify the Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS), which was developed for acute stroke patients, and to validate it for extubated patients in the ICU. Methods In this prospective study, forty-five patients who had been intubated for at least 24 h were recruited con… Show more

“…Water swallow tests and multi-consistency screenings are the two methods for screening ICU patients for suspected PED (Likar et al, 2024 ), while methods used to assess dysphagia can be classified under two broad categories: instrumental and non-instrumental. It is usually accepted that these two modalities should complement one another for a comprehensive understanding of dysphagia (Perren et al, 2019 ; Troll et al, 2023 ; Likar et al, 2024 ).…”

“…Similarly, despite the 3-ounce water swallow test not being validated in critically ill patients, its use is recommended to be performed by ICU nursing personnel, given that patients are alert and capable of sitting upright in a supported position (Macht et al, 2014 ). The Volume-Viscosity Swallow Test (V-VST) has demonstrated acceptable sensitivity and specificity in mixed and specific patient populations, but not specifically in critically ill patients (Perren et al, 2019 ; Troll et al, 2023 ) as limited evidence exists regarding its applicability in ICU patients (Zurbano et al, 2023 ). The Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS) is also included in the spectrum of clinical non-instrumental screenings aimed at specific patient populations (Perren et al, 2019 ; Troll et al, 2023 ).…”
