Whether anesthesia is required for laryngoscopy depends on the condition and the type of examination. Laryngoscopy includes indirect laryngoscopy, electronic laryngoscopy, fiberoptic laryngoscopy, dynamic laryngoscopy, and direct laryngoscopy. Indirect laryngoscopy is the most commonly used and easy to perform, and most patients do not need anesthesia; if the pharyngeal reflex is sensitive, surface anesthesia is required. Electronic laryngoscopy, fiberoptic laryngoscopy, and dynamic laryngoscopy sometimes require surface anesthesia. Direct laryngoscopy is usually performed under surface anesthesia, and general anesthesia is required for some uncooperative patients. If there is any discomfort in the throat, it is recommended to go to the ENT department in time, and choose the appropriate laryngoscopy method under the guidance of the doctor according to the patient’s condition, and cooperate with head and neck CT and other examinations to clarify the condition.
