Laryngoscopy Reporting
Structured laryngoscopy documentation with vocal cord assessment, true/false cord mobility, arytenoid position, and laryngeal lesion characterization.
Nasal Endoscopy
Systematic nasal cavity and sinus assessment with anatomical landmarks, polyp grading, mucosal appearance, and drainage patterns using standard terminology.
Audiometric Integration
Integration of audiometry results with automatic interpretation of hearing thresholds, type of hearing loss, and word recognition scores.
Sinus CT Correlation
Document CT findings with Lund-Mackay scoring, correlate imaging with endoscopic findings, and track surgical planning.
Procedure Documentation
Comprehensive operative notes for FESS, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, septoplasty, and other ENT procedures with CPT code suggestions.
Sample AI-Generated ENT Note
See how PatientNotes documents a chronic rhinosinusitis evaluation with nasal endoscopy
SUBJECTIVE: 52-year-old female presents with chronic nasal congestion and facial pressure for 8 months. Reports thick yellow-green nasal discharge, decreased sense of smell, and frontal headaches worse when bending forward. Previous treatment with multiple courses of antibiotics and nasal steroids with minimal relief. Denies epistaxis, vision changes, or fever. History of seasonal allergies. OBJECTIVE: Vital Signs: Afebrile, BP 128/78 Anterior Rhinoscopy: - Bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy - Mucopurulent drainage from middle meatus - Nasal septum: mild deviation to right Nasal Endoscopy Findings: Right Side: - Middle meatus: purulent drainage, polypoidal mucosa - Uncinate process: edematous - Ethmoidal region: polypoid changes, Grade 2 polyps - Sphenoethmoidal recess: mucopurulent drainage Left Side: - Middle meatus: minimal clear drainage - Uncinate process: patent - Ethmoidal region: mild mucosal thickening - Maxillary sinus ostium: patent Oropharynx: posterior pharyngeal drainage Neck: no cervical lymphadenopathy Lund-Kennedy Endoscopy Score: 6/12 (right), 2/12 (left) Recent CT Sinus (reviewed): - Complete opacification right maxillary and ethmoid sinuses - Partial opacification right frontal sinus - Left-sided mucosal thickening - Osteomeatal complex obstruction on right - Lund-Mackay Score: 14/24 ASSESSMENT: 1. Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis, right side predominant - refractory to medical therapy 2. Nasal septal deviation 3. Allergic rhinitis PLAN: 1. Medical optimization trial: - Mometasone nasal spray 2 sprays each nostril BID - Saline irrigations with budesonide respules BID - Prednisone 40mg daily x 5 days for polyp reduction - Montelukast 10mg daily for polyp/allergy management 2. If symptoms persist after 4-6 weeks of maximal medical therapy, recommend: - Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS): maxillary antrostomy, ethmoidectomy, frontal sinusotomy - Consider septoplasty for septal deviation 3. Allergy testing referral to identify specific allergens 4. Patient counseled on realistic expectations, surgical risks including bleeding, CSF leak, orbital injury, and need for continued medical therapy post-operatively 5. Follow-up in 6 weeks to reassess response to medical therapy and finalize surgical planning if indicated
