. Dyspnea at rest develops when the airway diameter reaches 5 mm, coinciding with the onset of stridor. Sound recordings from the neck and chest have shown that the sound signals from the asthmatic wheeze and stridor are of similar frequency.[slideshare.net]

Four (0.7%) died within 24 hours of the procedure, while the major morbidities were halitosis (n 41, 6.7%) and iatrogenic pneumonia (n 24, 3.9%).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Coronary angiography demonstrated no coronary artery disease, but left ventricular angiography showed marked apical ballooning and apical wall akinesia consistent with a diagnosis of takotsubo cardiomyopathy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Depending on the results of your examination, you may require further workup in the form of scans, blood work or biopsies. Many different treatment options are available depending upon your diagnosis.[hopkinsmedicine.org]
Septic workup should likely include a chest X-ray, labs including lactate, VBG, and blood cultures. Get your “double set up” airway equipment to the bedside.[emergencymedicinecases.com]
. • Investigations add little in the initial workup • As viral croup is the commonest cause of UAO, attempts to identify other causes is also very important to confirm the diagnosis. 16.[slideshare.net]
AP2, prior to FP treatment, was enriched with Streptococcus pneumoniae.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, the causes, evaluation, and appropriate treatment of this complication are not clearly defined.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report on a prospective 3-center cohort study investigating this treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment with appropriate respiratory medications resulted in increase in lung function, quality of life and exercise tolerance at 3rd month.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Distraction osteogenesis has emerged as a treatment modality for mandibular hypoplasia in this setting for the treatment of asymmetry and airway obstruction.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
On multivariate analysis, PS before airway stenting was identified as possible predictor of prognosis after stenting (HR 1.6180, 95% CI 0.969 to 2.7015, p 0.066).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Laryngeal atresia is an extremely rare fetal anomaly with dismal prognosis. It is important to differentiate the condition from other lesions with a more favorable prognosis, such as congenital adenomatoid malformation of the lung.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
SUMMARY: Traditionally, difficulty in obtaining a patent airway at delivery was a major factor in the dismal prognosis of these pregnancies.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prognosis of the affected infants is often poor. Five cases are reported here that were diagnosed in a tertiary center between 2008 and 2014. [Indexed for MEDLINE] Free full text[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This study aimed to determine the factors that influence prognosis of these patients. METHODS: This is a retrospective single institutional study. A total of 155 patients were included.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The purpose of this retrospective review of a prospective database was to investigate etiologic factors related to the development of AAO due to postoperative hematoma after ACF and formulate appropriate prevention and treatment guidelines.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
. Common etiologies of upper airway obstruction in adults include infection, inflammatory disorders, trauma, and extrinsic compression related to pathology of adjacent structures. Definitive management depends on the underlying etiology and may include[slideshare.net]
ETIOLOGY • Passive smoking • Exposure to chemical, air pollution • Inhalation of smoke • Hereditary factors 59.[slideshare.net]
Etiology-specific treatment 1. Aspiration of Food or Foreign Body Use of the Heimlich maneuver in an individual who suddenly is unable to speak while eating (a so-called, “café coronary”) may relieve the obstruction. 2.[clinicaladvisor.com]

Anatomic and physiologic small airway abnormalities may develop as part of the pathophysiologic process of asbestosis. We hypothesized that inhalation of asbestos may induce small airway defects in addition to asbestosis and pleural abnormalities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
See Figure 2 for a comparison of what 1 mm of circumferential edema does in terms of airway resistance to an infant and an adult Pathophysiology Upper airway obstruction can occur for a variety of causes, but fundamentally, leads to increased airway resistance[learnpicu.com]

Abstract The safety of high pressure source ventilation (jet ventilation) is dependent upon upper airway patency to facilitate adequate passive expiration and prevent increasing intrathoracic pressure and its associated deleterious sequelae.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prompt recognition and management of IPA can reduce the risk of airway complications and may prevent the need of a surgical intervention.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Systematic evaluation and appropriate management can be helpful for preventing serious complications after development of a postoperative hematoma.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention is highly emphasized here because once an airway becomes obstructed, we have a very short time to deal with this life threatening emergency. We work all the time with techniques and vigilence to prevent this.[erikrichmond.com]
Early anticipation of the complications leads to proper management of such critical and life threatening complications and prevention of hypoxia, hypercapnia, pneumothorax, and pulmonary edema.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
