Abstract
It has been the practice in my Out-Patient Department for the last six years to use the fibrebronchoscope on an out-patient basis to enable examination of the larynx, pharynx and post-nasal space to be performed in patients in whom gagging on indirect laryngoscopy is a problem. Also patients who are co-operative but have an over-hanging (infantile) epiglottis can be examined with ease. In particular the petiolus and the anterior commissure are accessible with the flexible tip of the bronchoscope.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
