The postcricoid subsite is difficult to visualize on flexible laryngopharyngoscopy. The view can be improved with either auto-insufflation manoeuvres or anterior neck skin traction. In this study, the view of the hypopharynx was graded whilst anterior neck skin traction was applied during the trumpet manoeuvre; the latter involves the patient blowing on his finger as if blowing up a balloon. On auto-insufflation alone, the postcricoid site was demonstrated in 22/25 (88 per cent) of cases and the upper oesophageal sphincter (UOS) in two out of 25 (eight per cent). Of the 22 cases in whom only the postcricoid site was demonstrated, subsequent neck skin traction revealed the UOS in eight. Overall, the use of auto-insufflation solely or in combination with traction resulted in UOS visualization in 40 per cent (10/25) of cases. The application of skin traction during trumpeting is easy to perform and should be used routinely.
