Synopsis

Master the basics of laryngoscopy and rhinoscopy to observe the airway with confidence.

This edition guides beginners through practical technique, from patient setup to interpreting the laryngeal and nasal anatomy.

The text blends clear descriptions of anatomy with step‑by‑step exam methods. It emphasizes careful observation of structures, proper illumination, and the distinction between true paralysis and mechanical movement limitations. You’ll learn how to approach both anterior and posterior rhinoscopic views and how to recognize common landmarks like the turbinates, septum, and Eustachian tube openings. The material also lays out how to check vocal cord function and what signs point to different laryngeal conditions.
  • How to position the patient and insert mirrors or instruments for a stable view
  • How to identify key nasal and laryngeal structures and assess their appearance
  • How to test mobility of the arytenoids and the tension of the vocal cords
  • Guidance on avoiding misdiagnosis by distinguishing paralysis from mechanical blockage
Ideal for students and clinicians beginning their study of the laryngoscope, this edition builds a practical foundation for accurate examination and interpretation.
