This ✨FEES Friday✨ we're exploring the significance of pooled secretions.

The New Zealand Secretion Scale (NZSS) is a game-changer for predicting pneumonia risk-and here's why it matters:

Unlike other secretion scales, NZSS measures:
✅ Location (where are they pooling?)
✅ Amount (how much?)
✅ Response (can they clear them?)

🧠 NPO status doesn't remove all aspiration risks- (patients can still aspirate accumulated secretions)!

🧠 Normal airway responses to pooled secretions in the pharynx or larynx may include spontaneous coughing, throat clearing, and/or swallowing

🎯 High NZSS score? Identify WHY

If suspected primary sensory deficits (i.e. if the patient is not demonstrating normal airway responses to pooled secretions) → consider cold/sour/carbonated stimulation, ice chips

If suspected primary motor deficits → consider strengthening exercises

🎯Many cases may call for addressing BOTH sensory and motor swallowing function!
