Brief description Accurate assessment of aspiration risk is critical to prevent respiratory illness & recurrent hospitalisations in children.Current clinical tests have poor reliability in detecting aspiration.Cervical auscultation(CA) is a portable,low-cost instrumental technique that may improve the accuracy of clinical test.This research aims to determine accuracy & reliability of CA in detecting aspiration, compared to objective radiological evaluations.CA may improve aspiration detection & subsequently minimise health system costs.
