Laryngeal Injury and Airway Management
Visualization of epiglottis and arytenoids on laryngoscopy
GRADE 3 LARYNGOSOCPY VIEW (C-L GRADING)
This method of evaluation allows for evaluation of all phases of swallow by mixing various consistencies of liquid and purees with radiopaque dye
MODIFIED BARIUM SWALLOW
The normal mucosal lining of the esophagus consists of this type of epithelium
STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS EPITHLIUM
Chronic cough is defined by cough that last longer than this time frame/length of time.
8 WEEKS
Vocal cord length, thickness, tension determine what?
Vocal pitch
This type of noxious gas binds to cytochrome oxidase, causing asphyxiation
CYANIDE
This method of evaluation is performed by SLPs and allows for direct visualization of the airway during swallow
FUNCTIONAL ENDOSCOPIC EVALUATION OF SWALLOW (FEES)
Eosinophilic esophagitis is defined by a minimum of how many eosinophils per high powered field on microscopy
15 Eo/HPF
Another name for post-nasal drip, this condition is thought to be responsible for chronic cough in up to 40% of patients.
UPPER AIRWAY COUGH SYNDROME (UACS)
Fundamental frequency 165-255 Hz
“feminine” vocal pitch
Inability to ventilate/oxygenate despite attempts at airway placement with decreasing saturations. Next steps?
EMERGENT CRICOTHYROIDOTOMY/TRACHEOSTOMY
This pseudodiverticulum forms between the cricopharyngeus and circular layer of esophageal muscles.
KILLIAN JAMIESON DIVERTICULUM
This organism is the most common cause of infectious esophagitis.
CANDIDA
This ubiquitous substance acts as the chromophore for the CO2 laser
WATER
The initial treatment for voice feminization
Voice therapy
Severe mucosal edema, exposed cartilage, and displaced laryngeal fracture.
Schaefer-Fuhrman's classification III
This method of evaluation uses a solid-state catheter to assess primary peristalsis
HIGH RESOLUTION MANOMETERY
This type of esophageal ring has squamous mucosa on the superior surface and columnar mucosa on the inferior surface.
SCHATZKI’S OR B-RING
LASER is an acronym for what?
LIGHT AMPLIFICATION BY STIMULATED EMISSION OF RADIATION
Surgical procedure to lower vocal pitch
Type 3 thyroplasty
The frequency of inhalational injury in burn patients
10-20%
Complete stenosis of the proximal esophagus can be opened via this approach.
COMBINED ANTEGRAD AND RETROGRADE DILATION (AKA CARD OR RENDEZVOUS)
Dysphagia is often the presenting symptom in this autoimmune disorder in which muscle biopsies demonstrate vacuoles and filamentous inclusions.
INCLUSION BODY MYOSITIS
This angiolytic laser has an absorption spectra of 532 nm.
KTP (POTASSIUM-TITANYL-PHOSPHATE)
The expected timeline to achieve maximal voice changes when taking testosterone.
1-2 years
