Assessment of upper airways obstruction.
An indication of obstruction to the upper airways (trachea and larynx) may be obtained by calculating the ratio of the forced expired volume in one second to the peak expiratory flow rate (FEV(1)/PEFR). This index was found to be usually less than 10 in normal subjects (mean 7.3), and in patients with asthma (mean 6.9), chronic bronchitis (mean 7.7), or interstitial lung disease (mean 6.3). A s...
متن کاملFunctional upper airways obstruction: two patients with persistent symptoms.
Functional upper airways obstruction is caused by vocal cord dysfunction and classically occurs in paroxysms closely resembling acute asthmatic attacks. We present two cases in which the symptoms and signs of the vocal cord dysfunction demonstrate very little variability with time. We suggest that as part of this disorder, a syndrome of chronic unremitting symptoms may occur.
متن کاملAcute upper airways obstruction and pulmonary oedema--case reports.
M.F., a two-year old male, was admitted with severe respiratory distress following accidental inhalation of a peanut. On examination he was semi-conscious, cyanosed and had severe sternal and intercostal retractions associated with a tracheal tug. Several attempts to dislodge the peanut using Heimlich's manoeuvre and back blows were unsuccessful. The child was then brought to the operating thea...
متن کاملUpper airways obstruction and apnoea in preterm babies.
Measurements of tidal flow, volume, and oesophageal pressure were recorded on a group of 8 severely preterm infants with periodic respiration. Analysis of the flow trace for evidence of cardiac artefact, and the tidal volume trace to identify at what point of the tidal cycle apnoea starts, indicated that upper airways obstruction was associated with about half these attacks. It is surmised that...
