Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of new protocols for using speaking valves (SV) in patients with tracheostomies at a major medical center, focusing on increasing usage and reducing wait times for trials.
- A retrospective analysis of 421 patients showed that after implementing these protocols, the percentage of eligible patients trying SV increased from 75% to 95%, and those succeeding on their first attempt rose from 60% to 75%.
- The findings suggest that the new protocols led to an 80% reduction in the time required for SV placement, highlighting the need for continued improvements in tracheostomy care practices.
Low Pressure Low Frequency Jet Ventilation: Techniques, Safety and Complications.
Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol
December 2022
Objective: Manual jet ventilation is a specialized oxygenation and ventilation technique that is not available in all facilities due to lack of technical familiarity and fear of complications. The objective is to review our center's 15 year experience with low pressure low frequency jet ventilation (LPLFJV).
Methods: Retrospective review of procedures utilizing LPLFJV from 2005 to 2019 were performed collecting patient demographic, surgery type and complications.
Objective: To review and establish current practices regarding airway management in vocal professionals undergoing surgery.
Study Design: Cross-sectional survey SETTING: The setting included practitioners that treat vocal professionals across international sub-specialty societies.
Subjects And Methods: A twenty-one-item survey was sent to practitioners that routinely treat vocal professionals including the American Broncho-Esophagological Association, European Laryngological Society, and 2017 Fall Voice Conference attendees.
Objective: To describe and visually depict laryngeal complications in patients recovering from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection along with associated patient characteristics.
Study Design: Prospective patient series.
Setting: Tertiary laryngology care centers.
Objectives/hypothesis: Given that the vocal folds are active organs of respiration, reports of dyspnea in the context of glottic insufficiency are not uncommon. We hypothesize that improved glottal closure via framework surgery or vocal fold augmentation improves dyspnea symptoms.
Study Design: Retrospective review.
This study employs validated cough assessment tools to prospectively determine the impact of tramadol on cough severity and quality of life in subjects with neurogenic cough. The study was a prospective case series with planned data collection at a tertiary care academic medical center laryngology practice. Sixteen consecutive collected subjects with neurogenic cough prospectively completed pre- and posttreatment validated cough assessment tools, the cough severity index (CSI) and Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ).

Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
April 2017
Objective Given the recalcitrant nature of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, targeted therapies to reduce disease burden are fundamental to improved patient care paradigms. We seek to demonstrate the safety of imiquimod injection into vocal fold mucosa by evaluating the degree of laryngeal edema, histopathologic changes to vocal fold structure, and serologic interferon α (IFNα) levels following injection. Study Design Preclinical.

Study Design: Retrospective case series review.
Methods: Twenty-seven cases described as branchial cleft excisions performed by a single surgeon at one academic medical center were identified between 2007 and 2014.
