In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this prospective, observational study is to evaluate for the presence of vocal fold motion impairment (VFMI) in the children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit on noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV PPV). Participants will have two ultrasounds of their vocal folds performed, once while on NIV PPV and once after weaned off of the NIV PPV. This results of these scans will be reviewed against one another and against the gold standard, fiberoptic nasolaryngoscopy (FNL). The main question this study aims to answer is: Can POCUS be used to reliably detect VFMI while pediatric patients on supported with NIV PPV?
