Exercise Induced Paradoxical Vocal Cord Dysfunction (EI-PVCD) Dale R. Gregore M.S., CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologist Clinical Rehabilitation Specialist - Voice NORMAL Respiration 101 On inhalation, the vocal cords (folds) ABduct allowing air to flow into the trachea, bronchial tubes, lungs On exhalation, the vocal folds may close slightly, however should and do remain ABducted Normal Larynx Vocal fold ABDUCTION occurs during respiration Vocal fold ADDUCTION Occurs during swallowing, coughing, etc Strobe exam Paradoxical Vocal Fold Movement (PVFM) The cord function is reversed in that the vocal folds ADDuct on inspiration versus ABduct Leads to tightness or spasm in the larynx Inspiratory wheeze evident Definition of EI-VCD “Inappropriate closure of the vocal folds upon inspiration resulting in stridor, dyspnea and shortness of breath (SOB) during strenuous activity” Matthers-Schmidt, 2001; Sandage et al, 2004 Pseudonyms Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD) Most common term Munchausens Stridor Emotional Laryngeal Wheezing Pseudo-asthma Fictitious Asthma Episodic Laryngeal Dyskinesia Patient description of VCD episodes “in the top of my throat I see a McDonalds straw surrounded by darkness. The straw ends in a pool of thick, sticky liquid that is encased by a wall of rubber bands and outside of the rubber bands is air that I cant access”. “The top part of my throat is complete darkness, at the back part of the darkness there are cotton balls. These are holding my fear”. PVFM Visualized Anterior portion of the vocal folds are ADDucted Only a small area of opening at the Posterior aspect of the vocal folds Diamond shaped CHINK May be evident on both inhalation and exhalation Essential Features Vocal fold adduct (close) during respiration instead of abducting (opening) Laryngeal instability while patient is asymptomatic Treole,K. et. al. 1999 Episodic respiratory distress Symptoms Stridor Difficulty with inspiratory phase Throat tightening bronchial/ chest Dysphonia during/following an attack Abrupt onset and resolution Little or NO response to medical treatment (inhalers, bronchodilators) Various Etiologies Laryngo-Pharyngeal Reflux (LPR) Food/ liquid/ acid refluxes from the stomach up the esophagus into the pharynx (throat) Can spill over and into the larynx causes coughing, choking, breathing and voice changes, swelling, irritation, Can be SILENT or sensed when it happens WATERBRASH LPR, continued Clinical characteristics can be observed using videolaryngoscopic or stroboscopic visualization of the larynx Ideally, diagnosed by a 24- hour pH. Probe or EGD LPR and Athletes Well documented occurrence in weight lifting Can be aggravated by bending, pushing/ resisting (tackling, etc), tight clothing, even drinking water during a game/ meet/ match Timing of meals before exercise is important Type of foods/ liquids should be monitored Laryngopharyngeal Reflux: Clinical Signs Vocal Fold Edema Lx Erythema Interarytenoid Edema Other potential causes of Paradoxical Vocal Cord Dysfunction Allergic rhinitis or reaction Conversion disorder Anxiety Respiratory-type or drug- induced laryngeal dystonia Etiologies (cont.) Asthma-associated laryngeal dysfunction Brainstem dysfunction CVA or injury Chronic laryngeal instability, sensitivity college level sports, etc) EI-VCD versus Asthma Recalcitrant to asthma medications i.e. does not respond to Individuals with “asthma” after long term steroid use might not truly have asthma, but VCD Individuals with significant anxiety: is it LIVE OR MEMOREX? Which causes which? Differential Diagnosis of EI-VCD Includes a detailed Case History Pulmonary function Studies Lab Test ENT/ Pulmonary/ Allergy evaluations Flexible Laryngoscopy/ videostroboscopy Speech-language pathology evaluation Supplemental as needed: Psychological evaluation Differential Diagnosis of VCD Team Must Rule Out: Mass Obstruction Bilateral vocal fold paralysis Anaphylactic laryngeal edema Extrinsic airway compression Foreign body aspiration Infectious croup Laryngomalacia Exercise Induced Asthma/ Asthma Diagnosis of EI-VCD Often mistaken for asthma Diagnosis of EI-PVCD is by exclusion = when patient fails to respond to asthma or allergy medication, then VCD is finally considered EI-VCD and Asthma Can exist independently Can also coexist Patient may experience LPR which causes Asthma flare-up and then laryngospasm (VCD) from coughing May experience chest (asthma) and/or laryngeal (VCD) tightness EI-PVCD versus Exercise Induced Asthma Typical Spirometry Findings for PVCD Asymptomatic Flow-volume loops are normal Symptomatic: Blunted inspiratory curve Inspiratory curves highly varied Expiratory portion may be blunted Ratio of forced expiratory to inspiratory flow at 50% VC can be greater than 1.0 Inspiratory cut-off, flattening of the inspiratory limb (curve) NORMALVCD Case History Questions Do you have more trouble breathing in than out? Do you experience throat tightness? Do you have a sensation of choking or suffocation? Do you have hoarseness? Do you make a breathing-in noise (stridor) when you are having symptoms? Questions (cont.) How soon after exercise starts do your symptoms begin? How quickly do symptoms subside? Do symptoms recur to the same degree when you resume exercise? Do inhaled bronchodilators prevent or abort attacks? Do you experience numbness and/or tingling in your hands or feet or around your mouth with attacks Questions (cont.) Do symptoms ever occur during sleep? Do you routinely experience nasal symptoms (postnasal drip, nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing)? Do you experience reflux symptoms? Videostroboscopic Examination Instrumentation Flexible fiberoptic laryngeal endoscope with stroboscopic capability Observations Movement of arytenoids during respiration at rest: Complete closure; Posterior diamond Signs of laryngopharyngeal reflux disorder (LPR) Degree of laryngeal instability Laryngeal Supraglottic Hyperfunction arytenoid compression ventricular compression Limited airway for phonation VCD appearance on direct examination Laryngeal Supraglottic Hyperfunction Abnormal ventricular compression during speech Laryngeal Supraglottic Hyperfunction Sphincteric contraction of the supraglottis during speech production PVCM Visualized Rounded arytenoids, but normal abduction Posterior chink Diagnostic Features PVFM Asthma Flow-volume loop Inspiratory cut-off, Reduced expiratory perhaps some expiratory limb only limb reduction * Bronchial provocation Negative Positive test Laryngoscopic Inspiratory adduction Vocal folds may observations adduct during of anterior 2/3 of vocal exhalation folds; posterior diamond- shaped chink; perhaps medialization of ventricular folds; inspiratory adduction may carry over to expiration Diagnostic Features PVFM Asthma Precipitators (triggers) Exercise, extreme Exercise, extreme temperatures, airway temperatures, irritants, emotional airway irritants, stressors emotional stressors, allergens Number of triggers Usually one Usually multiple Breathing obstruction Laryngeal area Chest area location Timing of breathing Stridor on Wheezing on noises inspiration exhalation Pattern of dyspneic Sudden onset and More gradual onset event relatively rapid longer recovery cessation period Nocturnal awakening Rarely Almost always with symptoms Response to broncho- No response Good response dilators and/or systemic corticosteroids Acute Management of EI-VCD in the field Approach to the patient is important It is generally agreed that patients do not consciously manipulate or control their upper airway obstruction Acute Management of EI-VCD During an episode, they usually feel helpless and terrified Implying that it is “in their head” is incorrect and counterproductive to their recovery Coach them through, help them out Be positive Acute Management of Attacks Offer reassurance and empathy Eliminate activity and people from environment Prompt for EASY BREATHING Elicit controlled Panting Relaxed jaw Tongue on floor of mouth behind bottom teeth Acute Management in the Game Visualize WIDE OPEN AIRWAY 6 lane highway with no roadblocks Air goes in and circles around, goes out Shoulders relaxed Standing w/ open chest, hands on hips, or bent over/ hands on knees.which position works best?
