ObjectivesObjectivesAt the conclusion, primary care practitioners will understand:
• Red flags and high-suspicion cases
‒ i.e. when to call the ENT directly and ensure a more expeditious referral
• When to refer non-smokers who are hoarse
• What to do about the PPI question
CaseCase• Patient is a 46yo female with 6 weeks of
increased hoarseness absent any illness‒ Never smoker‒ Obese‒ Significant increase in family-related
stress

Pepsin detected in larynges of cancer pts, but absent in pts without clinical signs of reflux/inflammatory/neoplastic disease Pepsin induces a dose & time‐dependent promotion of proliferation in both normal &
transformed epithelial cultures This induction of proliferation is associated with gene and microRNA expression changes
that are consistent with promotion of neoplasia
Chronic pepsin exposure caused resistance to apoptosis In vivo HBP study revealed active pepsin increases tumor volume
Chronic pepsin, pH7, exposure increases cell colony forming ability

Physical ExaminationPhysical Examination• Any evidence of prior head and neck
surgery or trauma?
• Biphasic stridor vs. inspiratory stridor vs. end-expiratory wheeze?
TestingTesting• Usually expect CXR.
• Consideration has often already been given for pulmonary, cardiac, or deconditioning etiology at the time of referral.
• Pulmonary function tests:
‒ What diagnosis is supported with flattening of the inspiratory loop?
‒ What diagnosis is supported with flattening of both the inspiratory and expiratory loop?

LaryngoscopyLaryngoscopy• Evaluate for masses or lesions
• Vocal fold motion to rule out paralysis
• Observe vocal folds at rest, with exercise, vocal cord dysfunction protocol, and/or with odors (imperfect proxy)
• Evaluate subglottis

CaseCase• 78 yo M with history of repeated
pneumonias over the past 3 years, becoming more frequent.
• Upon questioning, he endorses globus sensation and “mucous.”
• Occasionally, “things come back up” and he coughs more after meals.

Testing or ReferralsTesting or Referrals• May consider modified barium swallow
(MBS) or referral to laryngology for functional endoscopic evaluation of swallow (FEES) with speech language pathology for concern for oropharyngeal dysphagia.
• May consider esophagram or referral to gastroenterology for concern for esophageal dysphagia.
On Esophagrams and DysphagiaOn Esophagrams and Dysphagia
• Able to assess anatomy (masses, strictures, Zenker’s, Schatzki’s ring, hiatal hernia).
• Able to assess motion (dysmotility, spasms, achalasia, may catch or miss reflux events).
• Unable to assess many mucosal abnormalities.
• Unable to allow for biopsy.

46
On EGD and dysphagiaOn EGD and dysphagia• Does not examine causes of oropharyngeal
dysphagia.
• Not a dynamic study examining motion of the patient’s esophagus during swallow.
• Able to assess for mucosa (esophagitis, ulcer, lesions) and anatomy (strictures, Schatzki’s ring, hiatal hernia).
• Able to biopsy (eosinophilic esophagitis)
