Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Objectives: To present advantages of laryngoscopy with 300 rigid sinuscope Design: Case series report Setting: University Hospital (KGMU) Lucknow India. Participants: 100 patients in which indirect laryngoscopy failed to visualize full larynx. Main outcome measures: extent of visualization of individual laryngeal structures. Results: Sinuscopic laryngoscopy technique successfully visualized base tongue, valleculae and epiglottis in all the cases while full view of vocal cords could be appreciated in only 63 patients. The visualization of arytenoids and ary-epiglottic folds was possible in 89 cases while subglottis seen in just 75 patients. The addition of topical anesthetic spray further enhanced the visualization Conclusions: Laryngoscopy with 30 degree 4 mm sinuscope is extremely cost effective, risk-free and simple office procedure to replace the routine simple mirror (indirect laryngoscopy) examination of throat.
