Abstract: Bulbar issues frequently impact the care of patients who are being ventilated. Careful assessment and management of swallowing and laryngeal function will affect weaning decisions, extubation success and patients’ experience whilst on ITU. We will consider how and when to deliver targeted assessments and interventions that seek to minimise the impact of bulbar dysfunction. We will discuss how strategies to optimise patients’ ability to verbally communicate whilst being ventilated can be implemented, and the contribution of these strategies to weaning success.

Speaker information: Sue McGowan works as a Clinical Specialist Speech and Language Therapist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London. She has been there for over 2 decades. Her clinical input is mostly with ventilator dependent patients on two neuro intensive care units. In 2001 she co-founded and still co-runs the hospitals’ multi-disciplinary Tracheostomy Team. She is on the committee of the Tracheostomy Clinical Excellence Network and has lectured nationally and internationally on tracheostomy care, speech and swallowing for ventilated patients, and Speech and Language therapy in neurosciences. She is an Advisor in Critical Care for the Royal College of SLTs and has contributed to and co-authored profession-specific and national guidance documents relating to the care of tracheostomy and neuroscience patients.

We are at the forefront of one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century - deciphering how the brain works. Oxford Neuroscience coordinates neuroscience research across four University of Oxford campuses, including departments at the John Radcliffe and Warneford Hospitals. Our aim is to translate discoveries from the laboratory through to improving clinical practice.
