OBJECTIVE: To compare the nasal valsalva with the trumpet manoeuvre and anterior neck skin traction as aids to nasendoscopic examination of the hypopharynx.
DESIGN: Randomised, controlled comparison of examination techniques.
SETTING: Single tertiary referral centre.
PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-six adult patients requiring hypopharyngeal nasendoscopic examination were recruited. Patients were examined with both techniques in a randomised order that was recorded to video cassette.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Blinded assessment of the percentage visualisation of the pyriform fossae, post-cricoid and upper oesophageal sphincter was carried out by three consultant otolaryngologists independently.
RESULTS: Mean percentage scores (and 95% confidence intervals) for nasal valsalva versus trumpet manoeuvre for the three consultants, respectively, were as follows: right pyriform fossa: 77(68, 87) versus 80(71, 91), 61(55, 66) versus 60(54, 66), 46(38, 54) versus 45(37, 54); left pyriform fossa: 76(65, 87) versus 80(69, 91), 59(53, 64) versus 55(49, 61), 42(35, 49) versus 42(35, 50); post-cricoid: 55(44, 67) versus 59(47, 71), 53(46, 60) versus 53(46, 60), 32(25, 39) versus 32(25, 39); upper oesophageal sphincter: 11(1, 21) versus 21(11, 31), 15(9, 21) versus 20(14, 26), 4(0, 8) versus 7(3, 11). No significant difference was found between the two techniques at any subsite. Individual differences were noted in a minority of patients where one or other technique gave a clearly improved view.
CONCLUSIONS: The nasal valsalva and the trumpet manoeuvre with anterior neck skin traction are complementary techniques for improving the view of the hypopharynx.
