Laryngospasm mechanism. Definition. Laryngospasm: Stimulation of vagus nerve during light anesthesia (Superior Laryngeal n, pharyngeal br of vagus, recurrent laryngeal below cords). Muscles involved: lateral cricoarytenoid, thyroarytenoids (both from recurrent laryngeal), crycrothyroid (from external branch of superior laryngeal).
Laryngospasm is a rare but frightening experience. When it happens, the vocal cords suddenly seize up or close when taking in a breath, blocking the flow of air into the lungs. People with this condition may be awakened from a sound sleep and find themselves momentarily unable to speak or breathe.
