description | OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of flexible fiberoptic examinations of the larynx recorded onto smartphones. METHODS: Prospective, blinded study of inpatients requiring laryngoscopy. A live exam was performed, then a smartphone was attached to the endoscope using a novel coupling device and the same examination was recorded. The live and recorded exams were evaluated by two laryngologists, each blinded to the findings of the other. RESULTS: Eighteen subjects were evaluated. Evaluation of airway patency was identical (Kappa = 1.0 [1, 1]). Evaluation of vocal cord motion was identical for 14 subjects: 9 normal, 3 paretic, 2 paralytic (Kappa = 0.69 [0.38, 1]). CONCLUSION: There is high correlation between laryngeal diagnoses using live flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy and recordings using a coupling device to transfer the recordings on to smartphones. Critical findings such as airway patency and vocal fold motion showed the highest correlation. |
