WHAT IS STRIDOR?
Stridor is an abnormal, high-pitched
breath sound produced by turbulent
airflow through a partially obstructed
airway at the level of the supraglottis,
glottis, subglottis, or trachea.
Stertor
heavy snoring inspiratory sound
occurring in coma or deep sleep,
sometimes due to obstruction of the
larynx or upper airways.
Causes of stertor : choanal stenosis,
enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids, and
redundant upper airway tissues.
TYPES OF STRIDOR
1. INSPIRATORY STRIDOR
2. EXPIRATOTY STRIDOR
3. BIPHASIC STRIDOR
Suggests an airway obstruction at or above the level of
vocal cord
Suggests airway obstruction at the level of trachea
and bronchioles. Commonly referred as wheeze.
Suggests a supraglottic or glottic airway obstruction

OVERVIEW
CONGENITAL
METABOLIC
 Acute laryngotracheobronchitis or croup is an acute infection
involving the larynx, trachea and bronchus.
 Commonly seen in the children up to age of 7 years old.
 Parainfluenza viruses (types 1, 2, 3) are responsible for about
80% of croup cases.
 Spread through either direct inhalation from a cough and/or
sneeze, or by contamination of hands
 Most likely to occur during the winter and early spring.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
CONGENITAL
METABOLIC
Inhalation of virus through nose
or the nasopharynx.

Respiratory epithelium becomes
inflamed and edematous.

Airway narrowing

Airflow through the airway
becomes turbulent (stridor)

CONGENITAL
METABOLIC
WESTLEY SCORING
CONGENITAL
METABOLIC
Croup scores have been developed to assist the clinician in assessing
the patient's degree of respiratory compromise.
The final score sum has a range of 0 to 17.
 Sum score of less than 2
 Occasional barking cough, hoarseness, no stridor at rest, and mild
or absent suprasternal or subcostal retractions.
 Specific respiratory symptoms (rhinorrhea, sore throat, cough)
 Fever ( generally low grade but may exceed to 40⁰C )
 Hoarseness of voice
 Barking cough
 Stridor
 Chest retraction
A. MILD DISEASE
WESTLEY SCORING
CONGENITAL
METABOLIC
 Sum score of 3 – 5 indicates moderate disease.
 Frequent cough, audible stridor at rest, and visible retractions,
but little distress or agitation.
 Sum score of 6 – 11.
 Prominent inspiratory (and, occasionally, expiratory)
stridor, frequent cough, marked chest wall retractions,
decreased air entry on auscultation, significant distress and
agitation.
B. MODERATE DISEASE
C. SEVERE DISEASE
WESTLEY SCORING
CONGENITAL
METABOLIC
 Sum score of ≥ 12
 At this point, a barking cough and stridor may no longer be
prominent.
 Lethargy, cyanosis, and decreasing retractions are harbingers of
impending respiratory failure.

 Bounded anteriorly by visceral layer of
pretracheal fascia and posteriorly by alar fascia
of the deep layer of deep cervical fascia.
 Situated posterior to the pharynx and the
esophagus extending from base of skull to T4
vertebra level.
 Contains lymph nodes (lymph nodes of
rouviere) that disappear by 3-4 years of age
RETROPHARYNGEAL SPACE
ANATOMY
RETROPHARYNGEAL ABSCESS
Is a collection of pus at the retropharyngeal space
secondary to infection.
There are 4 different ways in which it can occurs:
1. Suppuration of retropharyngeal lymph nodes of
rouviere
2. Spread of infection from parapharyngeal abscess
3. Trauma causing perforation of the posterior
pharyngeal wall leading to infection.
4. Tuberculosis of cervical spine.

CLINICAL FEATURES
1. Breathing difficulty
2. Dysphagia
3. Drooling
4. High fever
5. Stridor
6. Intercostal retraction
7. Severe sore throat
8. Difficulty turning the head
DIAGNOSIS
1. X-RAY
DIAGNOSIS
2. CT SCAN
TREATMENT
 IV broad spectrum antibiotics and drainage
by an incision in the posterior pharyngeal
wall through oral cavity.
 Adults with tuberculous abscess are treated
with anti tuberculous drugs, drainage
through an external neck incision when
required.
TREATMENT
FOREIGN BODY
ASPIRATION
INTRODUCTION
 Foreign body aspiration is a common cause of acute
stridor.
 The peak incidence is between one and two years of
age because children have the habits of putting small
objects into the mouth.
 The site where the foreign body gets lodged depends
on the size and nature of the foreign body.
 The foreign body can be anything, but the most
common is food.
 A history of aspiration or choking can be obtained in
90 percent of cases.
INTRODUCTION
CLINICAL FEATURES
It depends on the site where the foreign body get stuck.
Cough, stridor, dyspnea and rarely aphonia.
Symptoms:
 Sudden onset of choking (early stage), productive cough and fever (later
stage).
Signs:
 Unilateral wheezing, poor chest movement and reduced breath sound.
 Organic FB (vegetables, foods) may produce a severe mucosal reaction,
while non-organic FB (coins, toys) produce little or no mucosal reaction.
Foreign body in larynx:
Foreign body in tracheobronchial:
INVESTIGATIONS
1. X-RAY OF THE NECK – lateral view
INVESTIGATIONS
2. CHEST X-RAY
 Will initially show collapse beyond the
obstructed bronchus and later
consolidation
 Look for unilateral hyperinflation, lobar
or segmental atelectasis or mediastinal
shift.
 On chest radiographs, children have air
trapping more often, while adults have
atelectasis more often
 A normal finding on chest radiographs
does not exclude the diagnosis
 Foreign body can only be visualized on
x-ray if it is radio-opaque. (E.g.
vegetables foreign body is not radio-
opaque)
INVESTIGATIONS
3. BRONCHOSCOPY OR LARYNGOSCOPY
 Both rigid and flexible can be both diagnostic and therapeutic
4. CT SCAN
 Show the object and may identify localized air trapping
 CT scanning supplemented with virtual bronchoscopic imaging may
further provide such useful information prior to an attempt at
bronchoscopy.
 Attempting to pass a flexible bronchoscope beyond the first object
encountered is not an advisable course of action
INVESTIGATIONS
INVESTIGATIONS
TREATMENT
 Depends on the location of foreign body.
 Removal of the foreign body by an experienced surgeon assisted by
anaesthetist.
 Flexible laryngoscopy or bronchoscopy can be done under the LA.
 Rigid direct laryngoscopy or bronchoscopy is performed under GA
using small endotracheal tube.
 The patient lies supine position with the neck flexed on an extended
head (barking dog position)
 If the FB impacted deeper.

HOW TO APPROACH?
HISTORY
Stridor is a physical sign and not a disease. Attempt should always
be made to discover the cause. It is important to elicit:
1. TIME of Onset – To elicit the cause is from congenital or
acquired.
2. MODE of Onset – Sudden onset (foreign body, oedema),
gradual and progressive (laryngomalacia, subglottic
haemangioma, juvenile papillomas).
3. DURATION –
Short : foreign body, oedema, infections
Long : Larygomalacia, laryngeal stenosis,
subglottic haemangioma, anomalies of tongue
and jaw
HOW TO APPROACH?
HISTORY
Stridor is a physical sign and not a disease. Attempt should always
be made to discover the cause. It is important to elicit:
4. RELATION to feeding – Aspiration in laryngeal paralysis,
oesophageal atresia, laryngeal cleft, vascular ring, foreign body
oesophagus.
5. CYANOTIC SPELLS – Indicate need for airway maintainence
6. ASPIRATION OR INGESTION of a foreign body
7. Laryngeal TRAUMA – Blunt injuries to larynx, intubation,
endoscopy
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
1. Stridor always assoc. with respiratory distress. There may be recession in
suprasternal notch, sternum, intercostal spaces and epigastrium during
inspiratory efforts.
2. Note whether stridor is inspiratory, expiratory or biphasic - indicates the
probable site of obstruction.
3. Note assoc. characteristics of stridor:
4. Assoc. fever indicates infective condition, e.g. acute laryngitis, epiglottitis,
croup, or diphtheria
5. Stridor of laryngomalacia, micrognathia, macroglossia and innominate artery
compression disappears when baby lies in prone position.
HOW TO APPROACH?
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
6. Sequential auscultation with unaided ear and
with stethoscope over the nose, open mouth,
neck and the chest helps to localize the probable
site of origin of stridor.
7. Examination of nose, tongue, jaw, and pharynx
and laryx can exclude local pathology in these
areas. In adults, indirect laryngoscopy can be
done easily while infants and children require
flexible fibreoptic laryngoscopy.
FLEXIBLE FIBREOPTIC LARYNGOSCOPY
 Can be done under topical anaesthesia as an outdoor procedure
 Allow examination of nose, nasopharynx and larynx
 Helps in dx of laryngomalacia, vocal cord paralysis, laryngeal papillomas,
laryngeal cysts and congenital anomalies of larynx, e.g. laryngeal web or clefts
HOW TO APPROACH?
INVESTIGATION
History and clinical examination will dictate the type of tests required.
1. Soft tissue lateral and PA view of neck & X-Ray chest in PA and
lateral view help in diagnosing the foreign bodies of the airway.
2. X-Ray chest in respiratory & expiratory phases or a fluoroscopy of
chest help to diagnose radiolucent foreign bodies.
3. CT scan with contrast is helpful for mediastinal mass and other
congenital vascular anomalies innominate artery, double aortic
arch or an anomalous left pulmonary forming a sling around the
trachea.
4. Angiography may be need for above vascular anomalies before
operation.
5. Oesophagogram with contrast may be needed for
tracheobronchial fistula or aberrant vessels or oesophageal
atresia.

Stridor

  • 1. STRIDORAUDI ADIBAH | AFFAN SYAFIQI | NURUL HIDAYU | NIK NOR LIYANA
  • 2. WHAT IS STRIDOR? Stridor is an abnormal, high-pitched breath sound produced by turbulent airflow through a partially obstructed airway at the level of the supraglottis, glottis, subglottis, or trachea. Stertor heavy snoring inspiratory sound occurring in coma or deep sleep, sometimes due to obstruction of the larynx or upper airways. Causes of stertor : choanal stenosis, enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids, and redundant upper airway tissues.
  • 3. TYPES OF STRIDOR 1. INSPIRATORY STRIDOR 2. EXPIRATOTY STRIDOR 3. BIPHASIC STRIDOR Suggests an airway obstruction at or above the level of vocal cord Suggests airway obstruction at the level of trachea and bronchioles. Commonly referred as wheeze. Suggests a supraglottic or glottic airway obstruction
  • 7. CONGENITAL CAUSES 1. Laryngomalacia >70% 2. VC paralysis 3. Subglottic stenosis 4. Cysts 5. Web 6. Vascular anomaly 7. Cleft larynx 8. Lymphangioma 9. Subglottic haemangioma
  • 8. ACQUIRED CAUSES TRAUMA INFLAMMATORY FOREIGN BODY ALLERGY NEOPLASIA Thermal or chemical, iatrogenic (intubation) Ac epiglottitis, Ac laryngitis, ALTB, Retropharyngeal abscess, Diptheria In the larynx, trachea or bronchus & external compression from oesopharyngeal foreign body Angiomeurotic oedema of larynx or trachea Benign e.g. laryngeal papillomatosis Malingnant e.g. laryngeal or bronchial carcinoma
  • 9. IN CHILDREN / INFANT STRIDOR CONGENITAL ACQUIRED AFEBRILE FEBRILE Laryngomalacia  Laryngeal web  Subglottic stenosis  Haemangioma  Vocal cord paralysis  Tongue and jaw abnormalities  Papillomatosis  Injury  Foreign body  Laryngeal edema  Adenotonsillar hypertrophy  Epiglotittis  Acute laryngitis  Laryngotracheitis  Diptheria  Retropharyngeal abscess  Infectious mononucleosis  Peritonsillar abscess

  • 12. ACUTE EPIGLOTTITIS  It is an acute inflammation in the supraglottic region of the oropharynx with inflammation of the epiglottis, vallecula, arytenoid and aryepiglottic.  It is rapidly progressive  Common in children (2-7 y/o)  It is emergency case as the time interval from start of symptom to total respiratory obstruction may be extremely short
  • 13. CAUSES 1. H. influenza type B 2. Streptococcus pneumonia 3. Group A streptococci 4. Burn / Trauma
  • 14. SYMPTOMS 1. Stridor 2. Dyspnea 3. Fever 4. Odynophagia/Dysphagia 5. Severe sore throat 6. Drooling 7. Tripod position 8. Muffle voice
  • 15. SIGNS  Epiglottis is swollen red mass  Surrounding areas in the larynx and pharynx also congested and swollen
  • 16. INVESTIGATIONS  Blood culture  X ray lateral view will show large swollen epiglottis (thumb sign)
  • 17. TREATMENT 1. IV antibiotic 2. Steroid 3. Hydration with parenteral fluid 4. Intubation
  • 19. OVERVIEW CONGENITAL METABOLIC  Acute laryngotracheobronchitis or croup is an acute infection involving the larynx, trachea and bronchus.  Commonly seen in the children up to age of 7 years old.  Parainfluenza viruses (types 1, 2, 3) are responsible for about 80% of croup cases.  Spread through either direct inhalation from a cough and/or sneeze, or by contamination of hands  Most likely to occur during the winter and early spring.
  • 20. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY CONGENITAL METABOLIC Inhalation of virus through nose or the nasopharynx.  Respiratory epithelium becomes inflamed and edematous.  Airway narrowing  Airflow through the airway becomes turbulent (stridor)
  • 23. CLINICAL FEATURES CONGENITAL METABOLIC 1. Non–specific respiratory symptoms (rhinorrhea, sore throat, cough) 2. Fever (generally low grade but may exceed to 40⁰C) 3. Hoarseness of voice 4. Barking cough 5. Stridor 6. Chest retraction
  • 25. WESTLEY SCORING CONGENITAL METABOLIC Croup scores have been developed to assist the clinician in assessing the patient's degree of respiratory compromise. The final score sum has a range of 0 to 17.  Sum score of less than 2  Occasional barking cough, hoarseness, no stridor at rest, and mild or absent suprasternal or subcostal retractions.  Specific respiratory symptoms (rhinorrhea, sore throat, cough)  Fever ( generally low grade but may exceed to 40⁰C )  Hoarseness of voice  Barking cough  Stridor  Chest retraction A. MILD DISEASE
  • 26. WESTLEY SCORING CONGENITAL METABOLIC  Sum score of 3 – 5 indicates moderate disease.  Frequent cough, audible stridor at rest, and visible retractions, but little distress or agitation.  Sum score of 6 – 11.  Prominent inspiratory (and, occasionally, expiratory) stridor, frequent cough, marked chest wall retractions, decreased air entry on auscultation, significant distress and agitation. B. MODERATE DISEASE C. SEVERE DISEASE
  • 27. WESTLEY SCORING CONGENITAL METABOLIC  Sum score of ≥ 12  At this point, a barking cough and stridor may no longer be prominent.  Lethargy, cyanosis, and decreasing retractions are harbingers of impending respiratory failure. D. IMPENDING RESPIRATORY FAILURE
  • 28. INVESTIGATIONS CONGENITAL METABOLIC 1. Full blood count – Lymphocytosis 2. ABG – Hypoxia and hypercapnia in respiratory failure 3. X-ray : – Steeple sign (signifies the subglottic narrowing ) 4. Laryngoscopy
  • 30. MANAGEMENT CONGENITAL METABOLIC  In mild croup, a child may just require parental guidance  Keep the child's head elevated.  Antipyretic  Mucolytic agent  Corticosteroid  Nebulized epinephrine
  • 33. ANATOMY  Bounded anteriorly by visceral layer of pretracheal fascia and posteriorly by alar fascia of the deep layer of deep cervical fascia.  Situated posterior to the pharynx and the esophagus extending from base of skull to T4 vertebra level.  Contains lymph nodes (lymph nodes of rouviere) that disappear by 3-4 years of age RETROPHARYNGEAL SPACE
  • 35. RETROPHARYNGEAL ABSCESS Is a collection of pus at the retropharyngeal space secondary to infection. There are 4 different ways in which it can occurs: 1. Suppuration of retropharyngeal lymph nodes of rouviere 2. Spread of infection from parapharyngeal abscess 3. Trauma causing perforation of the posterior pharyngeal wall leading to infection. 4. Tuberculosis of cervical spine.
  • 37. CLINICAL FEATURES 1. Breathing difficulty 2. Dysphagia 3. Drooling 4. High fever 5. Stridor 6. Intercostal retraction 7. Severe sore throat 8. Difficulty turning the head
  • 40. TREATMENT  IV broad spectrum antibiotics and drainage by an incision in the posterior pharyngeal wall through oral cavity.  Adults with tuberculous abscess are treated with anti tuberculous drugs, drainage through an external neck incision when required.
  • 43. INTRODUCTION  Foreign body aspiration is a common cause of acute stridor.  The peak incidence is between one and two years of age because children have the habits of putting small objects into the mouth.  The site where the foreign body gets lodged depends on the size and nature of the foreign body.  The foreign body can be anything, but the most common is food.  A history of aspiration or choking can be obtained in 90 percent of cases.
  • 45. CLINICAL FEATURES It depends on the site where the foreign body get stuck. Cough, stridor, dyspnea and rarely aphonia. Symptoms:  Sudden onset of choking (early stage), productive cough and fever (later stage). Signs:  Unilateral wheezing, poor chest movement and reduced breath sound.  Organic FB (vegetables, foods) may produce a severe mucosal reaction, while non-organic FB (coins, toys) produce little or no mucosal reaction. Foreign body in larynx: Foreign body in tracheobronchial:
  • 46. INVESTIGATIONS 1. X-RAY OF THE NECK – lateral view
  • 47. INVESTIGATIONS 2. CHEST X-RAY  Will initially show collapse beyond the obstructed bronchus and later consolidation  Look for unilateral hyperinflation, lobar or segmental atelectasis or mediastinal shift.  On chest radiographs, children have air trapping more often, while adults have atelectasis more often  A normal finding on chest radiographs does not exclude the diagnosis  Foreign body can only be visualized on x-ray if it is radio-opaque. (E.g. vegetables foreign body is not radio- opaque)
  • 48. INVESTIGATIONS 3. BRONCHOSCOPY OR LARYNGOSCOPY  Both rigid and flexible can be both diagnostic and therapeutic 4. CT SCAN  Show the object and may identify localized air trapping  CT scanning supplemented with virtual bronchoscopic imaging may further provide such useful information prior to an attempt at bronchoscopy.  Attempting to pass a flexible bronchoscope beyond the first object encountered is not an advisable course of action
  • 51. TREATMENT  Depends on the location of foreign body.  Removal of the foreign body by an experienced surgeon assisted by anaesthetist.  Flexible laryngoscopy or bronchoscopy can be done under the LA.  Rigid direct laryngoscopy or bronchoscopy is performed under GA using small endotracheal tube.  The patient lies supine position with the neck flexed on an extended head (barking dog position)  If the FB impacted deeper. 1. HEIMLICH MANEUVER 2. LARYNGOSCOPY OR BRONCHOPSCOPY 3. OPEN THORACOTOMY
  • 55. TREATMENT 2. LARYNGOSCOPY OR BRONCHOPSCOPY The patient lies supine position with the neck flexed on an extended head (barking dog position)
  • 56. HOW TO APPROACH? HISTORY Stridor is a physical sign and not a disease. Attempt should always be made to discover the cause. It is important to elicit: 1. TIME of Onset – To elicit the cause is from congenital or acquired. 2. MODE of Onset – Sudden onset (foreign body, oedema), gradual and progressive (laryngomalacia, subglottic haemangioma, juvenile papillomas). 3. DURATION – Short : foreign body, oedema, infections Long : Larygomalacia, laryngeal stenosis, subglottic haemangioma, anomalies of tongue and jaw
  • 57. HOW TO APPROACH? HISTORY Stridor is a physical sign and not a disease. Attempt should always be made to discover the cause. It is important to elicit: 4. RELATION to feeding – Aspiration in laryngeal paralysis, oesophageal atresia, laryngeal cleft, vascular ring, foreign body oesophagus. 5. CYANOTIC SPELLS – Indicate need for airway maintainence 6. ASPIRATION OR INGESTION of a foreign body 7. Laryngeal TRAUMA – Blunt injuries to larynx, intubation, endoscopy
  • 58. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION 1. Stridor always assoc. with respiratory distress. There may be recession in suprasternal notch, sternum, intercostal spaces and epigastrium during inspiratory efforts. 2. Note whether stridor is inspiratory, expiratory or biphasic - indicates the probable site of obstruction. 3. Note assoc. characteristics of stridor: 4. Assoc. fever indicates infective condition, e.g. acute laryngitis, epiglottitis, croup, or diphtheria 5. Stridor of laryngomalacia, micrognathia, macroglossia and innominate artery compression disappears when baby lies in prone position.
  • 59. HOW TO APPROACH? PHYSICAL EXAMINATION 6. Sequential auscultation with unaided ear and with stethoscope over the nose, open mouth, neck and the chest helps to localize the probable site of origin of stridor. 7. Examination of nose, tongue, jaw, and pharynx and laryx can exclude local pathology in these areas. In adults, indirect laryngoscopy can be done easily while infants and children require flexible fibreoptic laryngoscopy. FLEXIBLE FIBREOPTIC LARYNGOSCOPY  Can be done under topical anaesthesia as an outdoor procedure  Allow examination of nose, nasopharynx and larynx  Helps in dx of laryngomalacia, vocal cord paralysis, laryngeal papillomas, laryngeal cysts and congenital anomalies of larynx, e.g. laryngeal web or clefts
  • 60. HOW TO APPROACH? INVESTIGATION History and clinical examination will dictate the type of tests required. 1. Soft tissue lateral and PA view of neck & X-Ray chest in PA and lateral view help in diagnosing the foreign bodies of the airway. 2. X-Ray chest in respiratory & expiratory phases or a fluoroscopy of chest help to diagnose radiolucent foreign bodies. 3. CT scan with contrast is helpful for mediastinal mass and other congenital vascular anomalies innominate artery, double aortic arch or an anomalous left pulmonary forming a sling around the trachea. 4. Angiography may be need for above vascular anomalies before operation. 5. Oesophagogram with contrast may be needed for tracheobronchial fistula or aberrant vessels or oesophageal atresia.
