Occupational Emergency Medicine
11 Feb 2011
Abstract
Professional voice users include not only singers and actors, but also attorneys, politicians, clergy, educators (including some physicians), telephone receptionists, and others. This chapter helps the emergency physician understand the special needs and problems associated with various voice‐dependent professions and the current standard of care for all patients with complaints and disorders of voice and speech. It covers the anatomy, physiology, psychology, and psychoacoustics of voice production to help emergency physicians care for a patient's voice problems and to provide good medical care by recognizing systemic diseases that present with laryngeal manifestations.
