Abstract:

The coordination of respiration with other parameters associated with deglutition has been studied in several laboratories. In swallow studies, respiratory measure are often obtained in different labs using their own proctols. In order for the results to be meaningful, comparable and reproducible across laboratories, the temporal parameters associated with deglutition and respiration need to be extracted in the analysis of signals with a high degree of reliability. The purpose of the present paper was to demonstrate the use of statistical measures of agreement and reliability and show the necessity of developing quantitative protocols in identifying various temporal parameters.
