Короткий опис (реферат):
Sometimes, babies are simply noisy breathers. They are gaining weight and
growing well, and we think of them as pleasant squeakers—something that is not
worrisome. But when stridor comes on suddenly, it must be evaluated , If left untreated,
stridor can block the child’s airway. This can be life-threatening or even cause death.
Stridor is often loudest when breathing in, but it can happen when breathing out. We
think of wheezing as occurring when we breathe out, when we push air out of our
lungs. Similarly, stridor can be confused with snoring or stertor (a low-pitched noise
that comes from the nose, tongue, or back of throat), which are caused by an
obstruction high up in the airway.
