The Big Squeeze

Down the Hatch - The Swallowing Podcast

Does more pharyngeal residue mean that there is reduced pharyngeal pressure? Do greater pharyngeal pressures occur when swallowing thicker boluses? Does the Mendelsohn Maneuver reduce UES pressures? Dr. Corinne Jones of the University of Wisconsin (Madison) joins Down the Hatch (The Swallowing Podcast) as our special guest. We discuss Dr. Jones' area of expertise in High Resolution Manometry (HRM) research, including pharyngeal and UES pressures during swallowing.
