This first of its kind tutorial offers guidelines for clinicians who perform, interpret, and/or want to train to perform FEES in the pediatric population. Important clinical distinctions exist when using FEES with the pediatric population versus with the adult population. Developmental changes, pediatric medical frailty, provider-parent/caregiver interaction, collaboration with physician colleagues, and patient safety are representative of key areas highlighted in this document.
