Laryngospasm and Bronchospasm Alyssa Acosta San Joaquin Valley College Abstract Laryngospasms and bronchospasms are both spasms that occur during within the upper respiratory tract (Frey & Ross, 2014). They can either occur in the operating room, during induction of anesthesia or can occur in a normal setting, triggered by things other than anesthesia. Depending on severity and setting, laryngospasms and bronchospasms can be either non life-threatening or life-threatening (Drugs.com,…

still asleep. The footsteps have stopped and Sam can practically feel the presence looming over him. Oh God, no. Please no, not now. “Sam.” Cas. He wants to croak out: yep, it’s me! But when he opens his mouth, no sound comes out. He wants to cry out at the injustice of the angel having to see him like this. Except, it isn’t injustice, is it? This is justice, for the world he broke. If…

Myoelastic-aerodynamic theory is the term used to describe the way that the vocal folds vibrate. The theory consists of an interaction of muscle forces (myo), elastic recoil forces (elastic), and aerodynamic forces. I will now describe the myoelastic-aerodynamic theory using the following diagram. Diagram A starts on the exhalation phase and the vocal folds are in phonatory position. The vocal folds are contracted by the Interarytenoids and the Lateral cricoid arytenoids. These muscles (IA and…

rich voice was stunning and full of soul. Smith’s vocal range was powerful, even though she appears to be a contralto. The technical proficiencies of Smith’s vocal sound appear to be controlled and clear. Smith’s voice filled the room, hitting one’s ears smoothly and was powerfully inviting. When comparing the voice of Bessie Smith to Alberta Hunter’s, in particular “Sugar”, both ladies had strong and powerful voices. However, Smith’s smooth voice is opposite that of Hunters. Hunter’s voice was…

When starting something new or changing an aspect of your life, you may have a little voice in your head that is doubtful of your abilities to succeed. The little voice that says things like “I am such a disappointment” or in my case, “Why did I even think about taking Psychology 150? I can not pass that class.” This little voice, as small as it may be, slowly eats away at your confidence until there is nothing left...unless you learn how to diminish it. On the same note, while…

Our voice is important because it defines us as an individual; it is our voice identity. Every person’s voice is different from each other which make it unique. Our voice does numerous amounts of things for us and one of the things that it can do is detect how we are feeling. For example, if a person is sad, his/her voice would indicate that because his/ her pitch would be lower. This would occur due to the decrease of the frequency. In Dr. Patel’s videos, she explains the importance of our…

The laryngeal muscles of the phonatory system are comprised of a group of both intrinsic and extrinsic muscles. Out of these two muscle groups, the placement of the extrinsic muscles are what confuse me the most. The extrinsic laryngeal muscles are further divided into suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles. The suprahyoid muscles attach superiorly to the hyoid bone and elevate the larynx and hyoid bone, while the infrahyoid muscles attach inferiorly to the hyoid bone and depress the larynx and the…

“I am Esther –” The young girl behind the desk had noticed her assessing her appearance through the windows before she finally pushed through the tinted double doors. “– and I think you’ve made a mistake. Mordecai Asher, he can’t be… He’s been arrested? ” With little more than a sigh the receptionist rose from behind her station. “Robin” she called around the partition that separated the foyer from the rest of the station. “There’s a girl here, says she’s after that kid they brought in…

A joint subcommittee was formed in December 1994 and they addressed issues about second language speakers that are audiologists, SLPs and students that have a linguistic competence of English and have an accent or a dialect. Would this have any type of affect when doing procedures? Is there any research that shows that audiologists or SLPs with a “different” dialect or accent would affect those who need their treatment? “There is no research to support the belief that audiologists and…
