Abstract

Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) can be presented with signs of aspiration, voice changes, chest infections, malnutrition, etc. Early identification of this condition will help to initiate the definitive management without delay. A multidisciplinary approach is essential, and ENT, speech, and language therapy (SALT) teams play vital roles. There are multiple causes for OD. Herein, we present a patient who had OD during the immediate postoperative period as a complication of I-gel supraglottic airway which was kept in situ for seven hours for a vascular procedure.
