I have some questions that I hope can be answered. Been focusing on another surgical subspeciality but have come to enjoy ENT, however, some questions remains unanswered. Have had some exposure (my other field is close related to ENT surgery), mainly clinic and ER and some in the OR. Planning to get more exposure to the specialty, anyway, some questions that will be rather mixed;
1) How much is acute airway management in ENT? Is it a common problem in an adult population? This is for university hospitals.
2) What are some typical ENT patients/diagnoses in the ICU?
3) Which specialty deals with tracheal pathology? From articles on the subject, it seems to be both ENT and CT surgeons, or is there any general division for example distal = CT, proximal = ENT?
4) General turf wars; endocrine gland surgery, likely be increased volumes for ENT or general (/endocrine) surgeons; skull base surgery, NSG or ENT in the future?
5) What non-operative fields exists in ENT? I'm going into the specialty for the surgery, but have a father that has essential tremor (mild), I have no ET and don't know if I ever will get, but always nice to know.
Thanks in advance!
