Abstract
A study was undertaken to analyse the effect of short-term intubation on the voice. Children were examined laryngographically both pre- and postoperatively. Changes in larynx frequency distribution following intubation were documented using the technique of electrolaryngography; the resolution of these changes was similarly recorded. The results, in comparison with the frequency distributions associated with other disease states, give insight into the nature of the damage and its effect on vocal fold vibratory patterns. The technique therefore enables objective evidence of minor degrees of laryngeal trauma to be demonstrated and differentiated.
