ABSTRACT
Introduction. The professional voice disease or occupational dysphonia, vocal alteration includes any directly related to the use of the voice in a professional activity that diminishes, compromise or impact worker communication. Teachers have a high risk of acquiring vocal pathology because they use the voice for long periods of time. The aim of this study was to identify the main findings obtained by nasendoscopy laryngeal in physical education teachers.
Material and methods. We studied 30 subjects presenting to National Institute of Rehabilitation Phoniatrics since July 2005 to July 2012. We proceeded to scan a flexible nasolaryngoscopic asking the patient to perform inhalation and exhalation to observe the several laryngeal structures, likewise was asked to deliver the phoneme / a / for 5 seconds to evaluate movement of the vocal cords.
Results. The main findings were: generalized hyperemia 29 (96.66%) laryngeal hypokinesia 12 (40%) and lymph chordal with 8 cases (26.66%). Both hyperemia present in 16 cases (53.33%) as the lymph chordal 8 cases (26.66%), teachers were identified in less than 10 years of service. Noteworthy that the longer a teacher, fewer nasolaryngoscopic findings.
Conclusion. The hyperemia was the main finding laryngeal. It should be noted, that as long as a physical education teacher, met nasolaryngoscopics fewer findings. It should make early detection of such diseases in the physical education teachers and implement hygiene and care programs vowel.
