Abstract
BACKGROUND Post intubation dysphonia is a well documented phenomenon. Presence of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) may exacerbate this condition. However, there is a dearth of information identifying LPR as a risk factor for post intubation dysphonia. Other known risk factors include duration of intubation, endotracheal intubation, and ease of intubation. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of LPR to postintubation dysphonia. Our hypothesis was that patients with LPR are predisposed to dysphonia following endotracheal intubation.
