Airway Obstruction | Manipal Hospitals Bengaluru

Airway obstruction is a common issue faced by children. Due to their throat being narrower, a child's airway can get blocked easily by food pieces, marbles, etc. Upper airway obstruction is characterised by low-pitched noisy inhalation, while lower airway obstruction causes high-pitched noisy exhalation. Both of these can cause cough and breathing difficulty, while acute symptoms can cause agitation, loss of muscle movement and unconsciousness. The treatment varies based on severity, position, and airway obstruction. Standard treatment techniques include thrusts to the chest, back or abdomen, rigid bronchoscopy followed by breathing support, and intravenous fluid and necessary medications may be provided. #Airway #obstructions #inhale #exhale #chestblockage #chestcongestion #HealthCare #MedicalReports #ManipalHospitalsBengaluru #LifesOn
