Ergospirometry with concurrent fibre optic laryngoscopy: a randomised crossover study
Background: Patients suffering from exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) are subjected to several exhausting tests. We aimed to assess the feasibility of using a single test to obtain diagnostic measurements for maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO). Methods: Patients referred to the outpatient respiratory clinic at the University Hospital of ...
متن کاملTongue paraesthesia and dysgeusia post suspension laryngoscopy.
Suspension laryngoscopy is a common laryngeal procedure in Endolaryngeal microsurgery (ELMS). Oral mucosa and dental injuries are the known complications of the procedure. Nerve injury however is an infrequent encounter. We report a rare complication of lingual nerve injury which manifested as tongue numbness and altered taste following Endolaryngeal microsurgery procedure. The condition im...
متن کاملAssessment of effect of nasal continuous positive pressure on laryngeal opening using fibre optic laryngoscopy.
AIM To assess the effect of nasal continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) on the dimensions of the laryngeal opening. METHODS Nine preterm infants who had previously received ventilatory support for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) were studied. All were receiving nasal CPAP. The laryngeal opening was visualised using a fibre optic video camera system. The ratio of width to length of t...

This procedure can sometimes be difficult and even life threatening, and there is therefore a need for regular training. Currently, plastic models are used for this p...
