Activity Description

Airway glottic insufficiency is characterized by incomplete closure of the vocal folds during phonation, resulting in an increased risk of aspiration and the development of laryngeal symptoms such as dysphonia and dysphagia. This condition can manifest diverse laryngeal symptoms, including dysphonia, dysphagia, and recurrent lung infections due to aspiration. The underlying causes of glottic insufficiency are extensive and encompass various factors that hinder complete vocal fold closure, whether static or dynamic. These factors include neoplasms, focal neurological deficits, trauma, functional disorders, and other contributing elements. This activity reviews evaluation strategies and etiology, identifies associated risks, provides best-practice treatment, and emphasizes the collaborative role of the interprofessional healthcare team in managing glottic insufficiency. 


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the clinical signs and symptoms associated with airway glottic insufficiency during patient assessments.

  • Implement appropriate evidence-based evaluation techniques, such as laryngoscopy and imaging studies, to accurately diagnose and assess the extent and underlying cause of glottic insufficiency.

  • Apply a patient-centered approach to select appropriate treatment modalities, including voice therapy, surgical interventions, medialization thyroplasty, and interdisciplinary care plans based on individual needs.

  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary healthcare team of experts to develop holistic management strategies and ensure comprehensive and coordinated care for patients with glottic insufficiency.
