  • Dysphagia
  • Congenital Heart Disease in Children

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy

Flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy with examination and video documentation of laryngeal function preoperatively (if the participant is not intubated and is stable enough to do so) and postoperatively with a 2.4mm flexible laryngoscope will be performed.

PROCEDURE

Laryngeal ultrasonography
