Clinical Studies

Examining the Patient Experience of Awake Laryngoscopy Procedures Rochester, Minn.
"We hypothesize that anticipation of pain, gagging, and dyspnea may be of concern to patients undergoing awake in-office flexible laryngoscopy procedures but that reported experience of pain, gagging, and dyspnea during the procedure will be minimal. Patient perception of mitigating strategies such as music, low light, physical touch, and relaxed breathing will be explored."

The Relationship of a Predictive Gag Survey and Patient’s Gag Reflex in Flexible Laryngoscopy Rochester, Minn.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the correlation between the predictive gag survey (PGS) and a provider-completed GSI in patients undergoing nasolaryngoscopy.
