Upper airway obstruction

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1987
From 1976–1982, 3,000 transnasal upper airway evaluations (TNUA) have allowed the direct visualization of upper airway structures in a natural, state without significant anatomical or physiological distortion. As a result, TNUA in experienced hands, is thought to be safe and the procedure of choice in evaluating upper airway obstruction in children.

Upper airway obstruction

Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians, 1976
A large number of diseases may present with respiratory distress. In adults, upper airway obstruction (UAO) is relatively rare. Consequently, UAO may initially be overlooked in the differential diagnosis of the dyspneic patient. Because it may progress rapidly, delays or errors in diagnosis can be critical.

Rhinorrhea with airway obstruction

The Laryngoscope, 1975
AbstractLife endangering airway obstructions have many facets and causes. Rhinorrhea is a symptom whose etiology may be overlooked if an immediate crisis of airway obstruction is present. Unless the cause for the obstruction or rhinorrhea is investigated it may go undetected and continue to present further problems for the patient.

Peripheral Airway Obstruction

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1976
IN RECENT years, great progress has been made in our understanding of the chronic obstructive pulmonary syndromes. It now appears that these diseases begin in the periphery of the lung and interfere with the function of the small airways located there long before they produce diagnostically interpretable symptoms or compromise results of the standard ...

Upper airway obstruction

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1996
The airways in infants and children are anatomically different from adults, thus predisposing them to more acute upper airway obstruction. The causes of upper airway obstruction may be infective or non-infective. The presence of dysphonia, dysphagia, abnormal respiratory pattern, cough and abnormal posture suggests upper airway obstruction. The general

Airway Obstruction in Achalasia

Chest, 1980
A man with a mediastinal mass shadow detected on chest roentgenogram was diagnosed as having achalasia by barium swallowing study. Megaesophagus caused by achalasia produced airway obstruction. Maximum expiratory-inspiratory flow volume curve identified that peak flow rate decreased in early expiration, and the ratio of expired to inspired flow at 50 ...
