Upper airway radiographs in infants with upper airway insufficiency
Upper airway measurements in nine infants considered to be at risk of upper airway insufficiency, six of whom presented after an apnoeic episode, were compared with measurements taken in two age groups of healthy infants. Paired, inspiratory and expiratory, lateral upper airway radiographs were obtained while the infants were awake and breathing quietly. The radiographs of all nine infants demo...

متن کاملOpening the upper airway--airway maneuvers in pediatric anesthesia.
Maintenance of a patent airway is the most important aspect of the safe administration of anesthesia in children. However, in spontaneously breathing, anesthetized children, upper airway obstruction is a frequent problem (1) and failure to maintain a patent airway can rapidly result in hypoxemia, bradycardia or even cardiac arrest. Upper airway narrowing is most likely to appear in pharyngeal s...
متن کاملThe upper airway during anaesthesia.
Upper airway obstruction is common during both anaesthesia and sleep. Obstruction is caused by loss of muscle tone present in the awake state. The velopharynx, a particularly narrow segment, is especially predisposed to obstruction in both states. Patients with a tendency to upper airway obstruction during sleep are vulnerable during anaesthesia and sedation. Loss of wakefulness is compounded b...
متن کاملThe upper airway resistance syndrome.
The upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) is a recently described form of sleep-disordered breathing in which repetitive increases in resistance to airflow within the upper airway lead to brief arousals and daytime somnolence. This review will first describe the chronological progression of our understanding of UARS within the broader context of sleep-disordered breathing. The primary symptom...
