Impact of Nasal Pathology on Efficacy of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) is a surgical treatment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure. Comorbid nasal pathology, such as septal deviations, turbinate hypertrophy, polyps, vestibular stenosis, and masses, is frequently seen and has been shown to decrease quality of life in ...

Electrical impedance tomography to evaluate air distribution prior to extubation in very-low-birth-weight infants: a feasibility study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
OBJECTIVES: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure is used as a standard of care after extubation in very-low-birth-weight infants. A pressure of 5 cmH2O is usually applied regardless of individual differences in lung compliance.

Cost and Efficiency of Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy: Endoscopy Suite Versus Outpatient Surgery Center

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Performing Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy in the Endoscopy Suite (ES) increases efficiency and reduces costs compared to the outpatient surgery center (SC) while maintaining safety for patients with CPAP‐intolerant Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Total facility time was reduced by 48 min and costs were 39.35% lower in the ES group, with all comparisons showing ...

Lateral Migration of a Eustachian Tube Shim Into the Middle Ear

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This is the first report of lateral displacement of a shim into the middle ear space, resulting in chronic otomastoiditis and the need for surgical removal by tympanomastoidectomy. Long‐term monitoring and suturing the shim to prevent displacement should be considered.

Intranasal pH and Olfactory Function Among Healthy Adults

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In this cross‐sectional study of 62 adults, olfactory cleft (OC) pH was lower than that over the respiratory mucosa (RM), with repeated testing resulting in more alkaline pH and olfactory testing having no effect. OC pH, but not RM pH, was negatively correlated with odor identification scores and predicted 18% of the variance in these scores.
