Nutrition support during acute stroke phase
Early Nutrition in Acute Stroke
In this webinar, presented in collaboration with World Stroke Academy (WSA), Dr. Bendix Labeit explains why nutrition is critical from day one after stroke. You will see how dysphagia can be missed by routine screens, why instrumental assessments like video fluoroscopy and swallowing endoscopy matter, and how a stepwise pathway guides safe feeding decisions in the acute phase.
