Noninvasive Approaches to Supraglottic and Vocal Cord Dysfunction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Upper Airway Disorders and Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

Abstract

Supraglottic and vocal cord dysfunction may be congenital or due to the involvement of systemic or infectious diseases. Supraglottic and vocal cord dysfunction can lead to respiratory failure. Noninvasive approaches such as acute oxygen therapy, Venturi mask, and high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy can be used in such cases.
