As SLPs, we have more to offer our patients in the ICU than dysphagia management. While that is high on the priority list, we cannot overlook the valuable skills we can offer the team in management of ICU delirium, and early modes of communication for patients on a ventilator or tracheostomy. Additionally, Brooke encourages us to take in the bigger picture and evaluate whole body systems when assessing dysphagia, cognition, and communication deficits. This podcourse is filled to the brim with insightful tips and information to level up your practice in the ICU.
