Abstract

Stridor in an infant is a significant clinical sign; the primary objectives are to ensure that the airway is safe and to arrange timely, appropriate management. A structured history, examination and targeted investigations will determine the cause and guide care.Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of stridor in an infant. The stridor tends to start shortly after birth, classically presenting as a positional stridor in the first month, which gradually resolves before 12-18 months of age in mild cases. There is a wide spectrum of severity; few require surgical intervention. This article will outline how the infant is appropriately assessed and managed.

十五分钟会诊:处理有喘鸣和疑似喉鸣的婴儿。
婴儿出现喘鸣是一种重要的临床表现;主要目的是确保呼吸道安全,并安排及时、适当的治疗。有条理的病史、检查和有针对性的检验将确定病因并指导治疗。喉鸣往往在婴儿出生后不久就开始出现,通常在第一个月表现为体位性喉鸣,轻度病例会在 12-18 个月大之前逐渐缓解。病情严重程度不一,很少需要手术治疗。本文将概述如何对婴儿进行适当的评估和管理。
