Lecture Overview

Deaths of older adults from choking will increase as the global population ages and the prevalence of neurodegenerative conditions that impair swallowing rises. Despite this, these deaths are, in many cases, preventable. In this lecture, associate professor Dr Linda Starr illustrates the importance of complying with prescribed diets and mealtime management procedures by looking at real cases of choking deaths in residential care facilities.
