Summary
A Delphi process identified 21 influential laryngology publications since 2000. These papers significantly impacted practice, research, and understanding in voice, cancer, airway, and swallowing disorders.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Laryngology
- Medical Research Impact
Background:
- Identifying seminal works is crucial for advancing medical fields.
- Laryngology has seen significant advancements since 2000, necessitating a review of influential research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify the most influential publications in laryngology published from 2000 onwards.
- To create a curated list of high-impact papers for research and education.
Main Methods:
- A modified Delphi process involving expert laryngologists was employed.
- Participants nominated and ranked influential papers based on practice changes, research catalysis, and impact.
- Bibliometric analysis augmented expert nominations.
Main Results:
- Twenty-one papers were identified as most influential by a panel of 16 laryngologists.
- The most influential papers predominantly focused on voice (11 papers), followed by cancer, airway, and swallowing.
- One paper received unanimous consensus, highlighting its significant impact.
Conclusions:
- The identified list of 21 influential papers serves as a valuable educational resource.
- This compilation can guide future research directions and provide perspective on recent laryngology advancements.
- The findings offer a benchmark for understanding progress in the field.

01:16The Respiratory System
The respiratory system is comprised of the organs that enable breathing. Air enters the nostrils and mouth, followed by the pharynx (throat) and larynx (voice box), which lead to the trachea (windpipe). In the thoracic cavity, the trachea splits into two bronchi that allow air to enter the lungs. The bronchi split into progressively smaller bronchioles and terminate in small groups of tiny sacs in the lungs called alveoli, where gas exchange occurs.
01:21Larynx
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids, corniculates, and...

01:30Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...

01:29Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Equipment Required
01:25Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway
In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

01:30Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway interventions are...
