    Cricothyroidotomy, a surgical airway procedure, often results in significant voice disturbances. This study found that six out of eight examined patients experienced voice problems after the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Laryngeal Function

    Background:

    • Cricothyroidotomy is a life-saving surgical procedure for emergency airway access.
    • Potential long-term sequelae of cricothyroidotomy, particularly on voice production, require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of cricothyroidotomy on laryngeal function and voice production.
    • To correlate objective and subjective voice assessments with laryngoscopic findings.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 24 patients undergoing cricothyroidotomy.
    • Subjective voice assessment and objective laryngography in 8 eligible patients.
    • Indirect laryngoscopy to assess structural laryngeal changes.

    Main Results:

    • Six of eight examined patients exhibited subjective and objective voice disturbances.
    • One case of subglottic stenosis secondary to granulation tissue was identified.
    • Laryngographic findings correlated with observed structural changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Cricothyroidotomy is associated with a high incidence of vocal impairment.
    • Subglottic stenosis is a potential complication requiring monitoring.
    • Further research is needed to understand and mitigate long-term vocal effects.
