Chapter 3 Flashcards
Pressure
Force per unit area: F=PxA, pwedeng static (constant) or dynamic measurement (using speech)
Where can pressure be measured?
subglottic, supraglottic, transglottic
subglottic
below the glottis so there’s more pressure: lungs, trachea, esophagus
supraglottic
above the glottis so less pressure, intraoral pressure and nasal
transglottic
across the glottis so from below to above; it measures the PTP
what is PTP
phonation threshold pressure
what methods for subglottic pressure?
invasive: tracheostomy, noninvasive methods
non-invasive methods for subglottic pressure
U-tube manometer
spirometers
pneumotachograph
plethysmograph
what is u-tube manometer
measures the effects of the force of a person’s expiration, measures air pressure differences
what is a spirometer
measures respiratory volume/volume of air
pneumotachograph
measures rate of airflow, kaya there’s a turbine spinning
plethysmograph
measures changes in volume
phonation threshold pressure
the pressure that you need to get your VF to start vibrating
what measures transglottal pressure?
phonatory aerodynamic system
phonatory aerodynamic system
measures pressure, airflow and other things related to speech and voice production measures max expiratory pressure (how much can they build up)
