Instrument used to visualize the vocal folds. Can be rigid or flexible.

A tool for measuring blood pressure.

A device for monitoring heart rate.

An instrument for examining the ear.

Closure pattern of the glottis at maximum adduction

Closure pattern of the glottis at minimum adduction

Closure pattern of the vocal cords during inhalation

Closure pattern of the glottis during speech production

S/Z ratio, Mean phonation time (aka Maximum Phonation Time)

Voice quality assessment

Acoustic analysis using spectrograms

Lung capacity measurement

Less likely to make a patient gag

Can evaluate velopharyngeal insufficiency

Patient can speak normally (not limited to only the /i/ vowel)

Increases the risk of gag reflex

Can be done during a voice evaluation

Is only necessary for patients with neurological disorders

Is not relevant to speech therapy

Only assesses CN 1 and 2

High quality image (larger and better resolution)

Increased risk of infection

Requires general anesthesia

Longer recovery time

Uses a strobe light to show the full phase of TVF vibration from one cycle to the next

Is a method for measuring lung capacity

Involves the use of a camera to record vocal cord movement

Is primarily used for diagnosing hearing loss

The amount of pressure that builds up below the TVFs

The pressure exerted by the vocal cords during phonation

The pressure in the trachea during inhalation

The pressure in the lungs during exhalation

Gagging, discomfort, globus sensation, nose bleeds (flexible scope)

Nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness

Sore throat, fever, cough, fatigue

Chest pain, shortness of breath, wheezing, palpitations

The amount of pressure directly below the TVFs for voice production

The pressure in the lungs during inhalation

The pressure exerted by the vocal cords when closed

The atmospheric pressure outside the body

Degree of lateral excursion or medial to lateral movement/ flipping of the TVFs during a vibratory cycle

The maximum frequency of sound produced by the vocal cords

The minimum volume of sound that can be heard

The speed at which sound travels through the air

Yes, they are mirror images and both adducting and abducting at the same time.

No, they are not mirror images but can adduct and abduct.

Yes, they are mirror images but only adducting.

No, they are neither mirror images nor adducting.

Measured by sustained vowel production.

Indicates the maximum airflow capacity.

Reflects the pitch of the voice.

Determines the volume of speech produced.

Degree of movement on the inferior surface of the TVF

Degree of movement on the superior surface of the TVF (the mucosa)

Degree of movement on the lateral surface of the TVF

Degree of movement on the posterior surface of the TVF

Is an ENT that has completed an additional fellowship in laryngology.

A specialist in treating skin conditions related to the ear, nose, and throat.

An ENT who focuses on pediatric patients only.

A doctor who performs surgeries on the heart and lungs.

Patients with a strong gag reflex may not tolerate the scope

Patients can produce any vowel sound during the procedure

The procedure can be performed without any patient preparation

Patients must remain silent throughout the examination

True

False! A doctor must visualize the larynx.

It depends on the treatment being provided.

Only if the patient insists on treatment.
