The Dysphagia Research Society task force recently published a paper concerning the impact of COVID-19 on the care of patients with swallowing disorders (dysphagia). UW-Madison faculty contributed to this paper – Nadine Connor (CSD faculty; DRS President), Michael Pulia (Emergency Department faculty), Timothy McCulloch (Otolaryngology faculty; DRS Past President). This paper provides current evidence on COVID-19 transmission during commonly used dysphagia practices and provides recommendations for protection while conducting these procedures.
