the specialist uses a bright light source and a small, round 21-25-mm mirror, angled on a long,
slender handle, to lift the velum and press slightly against the patient's posterior pharyngeal
wall area
, the mirror should be positioned to view the laryngeal structures during phonation and quiet
respiration - correct answer ✔✔Indirect Laryngoscopy (Mirror Laryngoscopy)

-VFs are looked at but patient cannot phonate
-used for taking a biopsy when assessing laryngeal cancer - correct answer ✔✔direct
laryngoscopy
-uses thin, flexible tube with lens and light
-passes through nose
-patient can talk and prolonged view of VFs is obtained - correct answer ✔✔Flexible Fiber-Optic
Laryngoscopy
flexible = through the nose
rigid = orally
structured illuminated by light, can be attached to video camera
flexible: can view velopharyngeal mechanism - correct answer ✔✔Endosopy
