Photography of severe laryngeal obstruction.
Thirty-five-millimeter photography using rigid rod lens telescopes at direct laryngoscopy is the most versatile and reliable method of laryngeal documentation. Photography of severe laryngeal obstruction, whether in pediatric or adult patients, mandates a method of anesthesia chosen for maximum patient safety, a laryngoscope selected for optimal exposure, confidence in controlling the airway, and a technique that does not jeopardize the safety of the patient.
