Transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasonography: A promising tool for otolaryngologists during COVID-19

摘要

Purpose: With the current COVID-19 outbreak, otolaryngologists are most exposed to the risk of infection due to the nature of the specialty.This is why they are required to find safer diagnostic alternatives minimizing aerosol generating procedures. The aim of this study is to explore the accuracy of transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasonography (TLUSG) in order to assess vocal fold movement.
