Overview

This study will look at how accurate physician recall is compared to video review for laryngoscopies, which are throat examinations and a standard part of the otolaryngology visit. The hypothesis is that there may be a significant difference in accuracy, creating reason to standardize video recording of the laryngoscopy exam for improved patient outcomes.

Study Details

Inclusion Criteria

  • Any pediatric patient having a laryngoscopy as a standard part of their otolaryngology visit

Exclusion Criteria

  • Any patient unable to complete the laryngoscopy procedure

Study Requirements

The study does not require any additional time or visits. The laryngoscopy, which is already part of the visit, will simply be recorded.
