Awake Laryngoscopy Procedure Patient Experiences

Overview

About this study

"We hypothesize that anticipation of pain, gagging, and dyspnea may be of concern to patients undergoing awake in-office flexible laryngoscopy procedures but that reported experience of pain, gagging, and dyspnea during the procedure will be minimal. Patient perception of mitigating strategies such as music, low light, physical touch, and relaxed breathing will be explored."
