Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This conference reports a case of acute functional airway obstruction occurring in the postoperative anesthesia care unit, which was diagnosed by fiberoptic laryngoscopy and successfully treated with intravenous midazolam after other more common causes of stridor were ruled out. The presentation, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of paradoxical vocal cord motion as it relates to the care of the postoperative patient are discussed. |
