Glottic cancers tend to be picked up at an early stage, as they cause a hoarse voice very quickly.

For small glottic tumours further imaging may be unnecessary.

Several studies demonstrate some degree of glottic compression reduction in tidal volume and increase in peak pressures.

Because the airway of a child is narrow, a small amount of glottic or tracheal swelling can produce critical obstruction.

About 90 out of every 100 people (90%) with T1 glottic cancers are cured with radiotherapy or surgery alone.

Most laryngeal cancers in the UK are glottic, meaning they start in the vocal cords within the larynx.

Radiation therapy may also be appropriate treatment of selected patients with in situ carcinoma of the glottic larynx.

Treatment of recurrent supraglottic, glottic, and subglottic cancer includes further surgery or clinical trials.

Using this device, he was able to observe the function of his own glottic apparatus and the uppermost portion of his trachea.

Magill tracheal spray (glottic anaesthetic)

Tracheotomes provide another alternative for airflow when there are glottic pathological conditions such as neoplasm and bilateral vocal cord paralysis.

Belt quality also uses clavicular breathing and has the longest closed phase with the highest subglottic pressure and the greatest glottic resistance.

Such as Treacher Collins syndrome, Robin sequence, head and neck surgery with supraglottic or glottic obstruction).

Thus, there is no need to treat glottic cancer cervical lymph nodes electively in patients with stage I tumors and small stage II tumors.

Cancer may occur on the vocal folds themselves ("glottic" cancer), or on tissues above and below the true cords ("supraglottic" and "subglottic" cancers respectively).

Some believe that cricoid pressure in pediatric population, especially neonates, improves glottic view and aids tracheal intubation apart from its classical role in rapid sequence intubation for aspiration prophylaxis.

To Dr Brain's delight, it was possible to ventilate the lungs, indicating not only that the device provided a clear airway, but that it also formed an effective seal with the glottic inlet.

If the vocal fold valve is subsequently opened, the previously two separate cavities become one unified cavity although the cavities will still be aerodynamically isolated because the glottic valve between them is relatively small and constrictive.
