  2. Laryngoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngoscopy

    Anatomical parts seen during laryngoscopy. Direct laryngoscopy is carried out (usually) with the patient lying on their back; the laryngoscope is inserted into the mouth on the right side and flipped to the left to trap and move the tongue out of the line of sight, and, depending on the type of blade used, inserted either anterior or posterior to the epiglottis and then lifted with an upwards ...

  3. Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing with Sensory ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_Endoscopic...

    If a physician looked into the vocal cords of a patient with chronic cough it would appear they are opening and closing normally, however if sensory testing was performed it would give abnormal results thus indicating that the sensory nerve fibers of the vagus were somehow damaged. This would allow for a more precise diagnosis and treatment.

  4. Spasmodic dysphonia - Wikipedia

    [34] [32] Some transient side effects observed in adductor spasmodic dysphonia include reduced speaking volume, difficulty swallowing, and a breathy and hoarse voice quality. [38] While treatment outcomes are generally positive, it is presently unclear whether this treatment approach is more or less effective than others.

  5. Laryngopharyngeal reflux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngopharyngeal_reflux

    Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) or laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) is the retrograde flow of gastric contents into the larynx, oropharynx and/or the nasopharynx. [4] [5] LPR causes respiratory symptoms such as cough and wheezing [6] and is often associated with head and neck complaints such as dysphonia, globus pharyngis, and dysphagia. [7]

  6. Tracheal intubation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheal_intubation

    Video laryngoscopes are specialized fiberoptic laryngoscopes that use a digital video camera sensor to allow the operator to view the glottis and larynx on a video monitor. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] Other "noninvasive" devices which can be employed to assist in tracheal intubation are the laryngeal mask airway [ 15 ] (used as a conduit for endotracheal ...

    Laryngitis is categorized as acute if it lasts less than 3 weeks and chronic if symptoms last more than 3 weeks. [1] Acute cases usually occur as part of a viral upper respiratory tract infection, [1] other infections, and trauma such as from coughing or other causes. [1]

  8. Hyperbaric treatment schedules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbaric_treatment_schedules

    Hyperbaric treatment schedules or hyperbaric treatment tables, are planned sequences of events in chronological order for hyperbaric pressure exposures specifying the pressure profile over time and the breathing gas to be used during specified periods, for medical treatment. Hyperbaric therapy is based on exposure to pressures greater than ...

  9. Intubation granuloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intubation_granuloma

    Intubation granuloma is a benign growth of granulation tissue in the larynx or trachea, which arises from tissue trauma due to endotracheal intubation. [1] This medical condition is described as a common late complication of tracheal intubation, specifically caused by irritation to the mucosal tissue of the airway during insertion or removal of the patient's intubation tube.
