This study was a retrospective chart review designed to evaluate factors that impact the collection of aerodynamic data in pediatric airway patients. The study included 55 participants ranging in age from 3 years, 1 month to 16 years, 10 months, who had undergone laryngeal reconstruction procedures and had been seen at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Center for Pediatric Voice Disorders for a complete voice evaluation. Descriptive analysis revealed that 35% (N=19) of the participants were unable to perform an aerodynamic protocol due to specific factors. These factors included issues related to mask seal, cognitive ability, cooperation, and physical ability. Descriptions of participant phonation patterns indicated that 74% of participants unable to perform aerodynamic protocol used supraglottic phonation, compared to 39% of participants able to perform the protocol. A binary logistic regression analysis indicated a significant positive correlation between participant age and ability to perform an aerodynamic protocol.
