Breathing-swallowing coordination (BSC) is an important pulmonary defense that aids airway protection. However, commonly used measurement methods are prone to artifact and limited to measuring the presence and direction of airflow. Spirometry offers an alternate method to measure BSC with reduced artifact while also measuring air volume and flow. The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of using spirometry to measure BSC with solid food consistencies.
