Auris Nasus Larynx
October 2023
Article Synopsis
- - Severe cases of COVID-19 can lead to orotracheal intubation (OTI), which may result in a complication known as post-intubation laryngeal injury (PI-LI), potentially occurring more frequently in COVID-19 patients.
- - A study reported on six COVID-19 patients who developed dyspnea post-recovery, with all showing abnormal findings during endoscopy and five having undergone OTI for a median of 9 days.
- - The study highlights the critical need for healthcare providers to recognize PI-LI as a potential issue in patients with dyspnea after COVID-19, suggesting that otolaryngologists should conduct endoscopic examinations for proper diagnosis and treatment.
