Management Outcome of Severe Laryngomalacia at Queen Sirikit National Institute Child Health
Background:
Outcomes of the different management in severe laryngomalacia (LM) have not been evaluated.
Objective:
To identify the management practices and to evaluate the outcomes in patient with severe LM.
Material And Method:
The medical records of LM at Queen Sirikit National Institute Child Health between January2007 and December 2012 were retrospectively reviewed.
Results:
Severe LM 69.8% (30/43) were found in patients diagnosed with LM. Type B (complete collapse) at 46.67% were the most common finding. Decision of management were made individually based on consideration of disease severity and comorbidity. The outcomes after management were evaluated by pre- and post-symptoms score. Post-symptoms scores were statistically significant better than pre-symptom score in all management (observation p<0.001, laser supraglottoplasty p = 0.003, and tracheotomy p = 0.001).
Conclusion:
Our management in severe LM include: observation, laser supraglottoplasty, and tracheostomy. The overall post-management outcome were satisfactory but the present study was limited to relatively small number of patients.

Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
