Abstract Introduction Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) is a complex disorder characterized by episodic adduction of the vocal folds during inspiration and expiration, which can lead to dyspnea, wheezing, cough, acute‐onset respiratory distress. Currently, there lack standardized criteria among treating physicians across multiple disciplines, including otolaryngologists, pulmonologists, allergists, speech language pathologists, for diagnosis treatment VCD, although laryngeal‐respiratory...
To discuss the presentation and management of infants with arhinia or congenital absence nose.This case report describes an infant that was diagnosed prenatally. In addition to a discussion case, review literature completed define appropriate postnatal work-up management.The patient is term male infant, on ultrasound magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed at 21-weeks gestational age. Upon birth, subsequently intubated, followed by tracheostomy due complete nasal obstruction. Through...
Nasal congestion occurring after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment initiation impairs CPAP adherence. Allergic rhinitis is associated with worsening nasal in patients who are exposed to nonallergic triggers. Use of presents potential triggers (eg, humidity, temperature, pressure, and airflow).To compare among users allergic rhinitis, no rhinitis. We hypothesize that baseline more likely experience a (or less improvement congestion) compared rhinitis.This prospective cohort...
Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is commonly treated with endoscopic dilations or tracheal resection. Since office-based serial intralesional steroid injections (SILSI) were first reported in 2017, they have been established as an effective, less invasive treatment alternative adjunct. The aim of this study to add the literature investigating efficacy SILSIs for idiopathic and post-intubation SGS patients, specifically studying surgery-free intervals (SFIs) discussing our experience SILSI order...
Objective This study interviewed youth with unilateral hearing, utilizing their responses to generate candidate items for a condition‐specific patient‐reported instrument. Study Design Mixed methods, cross‐sectional. Setting Tertiary care children's hospital. Participants and Methods Youth hearing loss normal in the contralateral ear were identified recruited participation through query of an audiometric database clinics. Interviews qualitatively analyzed identify common themes related...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Midnasal stenosis is a poorly defined entity that may be component of other conditions nasal obstruction contributing to respiratory distress in infants. We sought establish whether midnasal vault narrowing well-defined syndromes narrowing, such as bilateral choanal atresia and pyriform aperture stenosis, characterize the anatomy patients with syndromic craniosynostosis. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> A convenience sample atresia, Apert Crouzon maxillofacial CT...
Objective Among continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) users, self‐reported allergic rhinitis has been associated with relative worsening of subjective nasal congestion. This study’s aims were to test the associations between objective status and 1) change in congestion after CPAP initiation, or 2) use. Method was established by skin‐prick 17 region‐specific aeroallergens patients baseline turbinate hypertrophy. measured acoustic rhinometry (combined bilateral minimal cross‐sectional...
The objective of this quality initiative project was to modify our existing institutional drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) protocol so that the surgeon could consistently determine obstructive breathing patterns while minimizing children's discomfort.A study utilizing well-described plan-do-study-act (PDSA) process conducted at a tertiary hospital for children with polysomnogram-documented apnea who were undergoing DISE. A 4-point Likert measurement tool created. Change in each rating...
