This SIG 13 collection of astute articles provides information regarding managing and
treating dysphagia in the hospital for both adult and pediatric patients. Nalia GurgelJuarez and colleagues explore the frequency of oral care based on staff adherence to
oral care policies. Rebecca Smith et al. investigate the quality-of-life impacts of
dysphagia and its interventions on mealtimes using the Swallowing Quality of Life
Questionnaire and the Eating Assessment Tool. Jessica L. Rice and Maureen A. LeftonGreif review high-flow nasal cannula mechanisms of action, its use in specific
populations and settings, and what is known about initiation of feeding during this
therapy. Finally, Donna Edwards and colleagues explore the impact of COVID-19 on
modifications in clinical practice related to pediatric feeding disorders and dysphagia via
telehealth.
