Introduction

Introduction Refers to the glottic mucosal edema, erosion and submucosal bleeding. Mostly caused by external factors. The common symptom is that the baby has a sound of breathing after birth, but the crying is normal. The degree of difficulty in breathing depends on the condition of the blockage.

Cause

Cause

Fiber endoscopy for tracheal intubation anesthesia for improper operation or inhalation injury. Damage above the glottis is a clinical manifestation of open neck injury. Dislocation of the sacral cartilage and hemorrhage of the glottis or glottis also have hoarseness or loss of sound, and sometimes throat lary occurs when inhaling. Patients often complain of swallowing pain, difficulty swallowing, coughing, and unable to turn the head. Glottic dyskinesia is a type of disorder in which the glottic motor function is abnormal due to various causes and the clinical manifestation is vocal dysfunction. Can be divided into neurological, muscular, joint and functional.

The glottic mucosa edema, erosion and submucosal hemorrhage after intubation.

Inhalation injury Severe glottic edema is likely to occur approximately 6 hours after injury to 48 hours after injury.

Adjust the throat resonance chamber to a thick and thin head. This resonance position has an expanding effect on the sound. Therefore, before the vocalization, the mouth should be enlarged, so that the back neck is erected, so that the epiglottis cartilage can stand up, and the tongue can be lifted down, so that the soft palate and the uvula can be placed down. Form a straight tube. After the sound is emitted from the vocal cords, it rushes straight up to the top of the nasopharynx and swirls over the top of the head.

With glottic dyskinesia, above the glottis, the glottis is short and small.

The glottis is short and small: the congenital small laryngeal laryngoscopy shows that the structures of the throat are small and the glottis is short and narrow.
