OverviewAI-generated summary

Olivia Speed's research investigates various aspects of otolaryngology and surgical outcomes, with a recent focus on pediatric care. Her work includes reviews of existing databases, such as the MAUDE database, to analyze the otologic use of porcine small intestinal submucosal grafts. Speed has also published on virtual surgical planning for mandibular reconstruction and the impact of surgical interventions for velopharyngeal insufficiency on Eustachian tube function in children. Her studies compare different surgical techniques, like pharyngeal flap versus sphincter pharyngoplasty, and evaluate outcomes for lined versus unlined flaps. Additionally, her research extends to assessing the role of pediatric otolaryngologists in critical care scenarios and exploring mental health burdens in conditions like idiopathic subglottic stenosis. Speed collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including John L. Dornhoffer and Robert Saadi.
