Phonatory effects of body fluid removal.

Adequate body and vocal fold hydration are believed to be critical to phonation. We hypothesized that body fluid reduction, without dehydration, would increase phonation threshold pressure (Pth) and be associated with patient-perceived increases in phonatory effort and worsening voice quality.
