In the literature, airway obstruction following pharyngeal flap surgery using the Wardill-Kilner and von Langenbeck techniques are well documented.
22.
The more severe the airway obstruction, the more likely ventilation-perfusion mismatching will result in impaired gas exchange and hypoxemia.
23.
Soft tissue swelling occurs, along with airway obstruction and trouble swallowing, due to the rapid enlargement of the cyst.
24.
Mediastinal pseudocysts, a rare form of pancreatic pseudocysts in the abdomen, may cause dysphagia, dyspnea, airway obstruction, or cardiac tamponade.
25.
Laryngomalacia results in partial airway obstruction, most commonly causing a characteristic high-pitched squeaking noise on inhalation ( inspiratory stridor ).
26.
It is sometimes directly followed by a rapid inhalation ( inspiration ), in particular when assessing possible upper airway obstruction.
27.
Postoperative airway obstruction may range from mild stridor events to severe blockage of the airway resulting in intubation or tracheostomy.
28.
Asthma is caused by inflammation of the lower airways and airway obstruction that can be caused by mucus or muscle spasms.
29.
Tonsil size may have a more significant impact on upper airway obstruction for obese children than for those of average weight.
30.
Early findings indicate a possible role for eNO in predicting the response to inhaled glucocorticoids and the degree of airway obstruction reversibility.
