Objectives This study aims to use three‐dimensional (3D) high‐resolution manometry identify circumferential pressure patterns generated within the asymmetrical base‐of‐tongue and hypopharynx regions of pharynx during deglutition. Study Design Case series. Methods Radial pressures in interest were evaluated swallowing events 12 healthy subjects using 3D manometry. Results Repeated measures analysis variance revealed pharyngeal clearance swallowing. A significant main effect direction on was...
Any movement performed repeatedly will be executed with inter-trial variability. Oropharyngeal swallowing is a complex sensorimotor action, and swallow-to-swallow variability can have consequences that impact safety. Our aim was to determine an appropriate method measure pressure waveform An ideal metric must sensitive known deviations in amplitude, duration, overall shape, without being biased by waveforms both positive sub-atmospheric profiles. Through systematic analysis of model...
Importance Tracheotomies are frequently performed by nonotolaryngology services. The factors that determine which specialty performs the procedure not defined in literature but may be influenced tracheotomy approach (open vs percutaneous) and other clinicodemographic factors. Objective To evaluate demographic clinical characteristics associated with tracheotomies otolaryngologists compared specialists to differentiate those from use of open percutaneous tracheotomy. Design, Setting,...
To examine the impact of increased body mass index (BMI) on (1) tracheotomy timing and (2) short-term surgical complications requiring a return to operating room 30-day mortality utilizing data from Multi-Institutional Study Tracheotomy (MIST).
We aimed to discern clinico-demographic predictors of large (≥8) tracheostomy tube size placement, and, secondarily, assess the effect and other parameters on odds decannulation before hospital discharge.Factors determining choice are not well-characterized in current literature, despite evidence linking with posttracheotomy tracheal stenosis. The timing is also unknown, an important consideration given reported associations between endotracheal probability failed extubation.We collected...
