Sites of Obstruction
• Nasal
• Oro/hypopharyngeal
• Supraglottic
• Glottic
• Subglottic
• Tracheobronchial
![Page 4: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Nasal Obstruction• Initially obligate nasal breathers so causes
severe respiratory distress• Generally no stridor • Snorting respiration with nasal flaring• Chest retractions common• Cyclical cyanosis: cyanotic episodes frequent
but interrupted with crying• Feeding difficulty because of need for mouth
breathing

Nasal Differential• External
– midline pits or dimples (dermoid) or nasal mass (encephalocele, meningocele, glioma, dermoid, intracranial vascular anomaly)
• Internal – pyriform aperture, turbinate hypertrophy, nasolacrimal duct
cysts, posterior choanae (should pass a 5-6 Fr catheter) and nasopharynx (adenoid, tumor)
• Craniofacial anomalies– Treacher Collins syndrome (narrowed nares, hypoplastic
alar cartilages)– Apert syndrome (midface hypoplasia)
![Page 6: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Oro/hypopharynx Obstruction
• Coarse inspiratory stridor, worse with sleep, when supine, feeding or agitated

Glottic Laryngeal Obstruction
• Hoarse cry or aphonic
• Initially inspiratory stridor becomes biphasic if obstruction increases
• Usually no feeding difficulty (no physical obstruction in pharynx) except hunger for air
![Page 11: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Physics• Poiseuille’s law: fluid flow through a
tube varies with the fourth power of the radius
• Venturi principle: drop in fluid pressure that results when an incompressible fluid flows through a constricted section of pipe
• Bernoulli’s principle (conservation of energy): an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's gravitational potential energy
![Page 17: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Choanal Atresia
• Occurs in 1 in 5,000-8,000 live births• 50% have associated congenital anomalies• 30% pure bony, 70% mixed bony-
membranous• Features: narrow nasal cavity, lateral bony
obstruction by the lateral pterygoid plate & medial obstruction due to vomer thickening (endochondral bone formation), membranous obstruction
![Page 18: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Choanal Atresia
• Diagnosis: inability to pass small catheter through the nose into the nasopharynx, rigid or flexible endoscopy
• Imaging: CT• Nonsurgical management: McGovern
nipple, oropharyngeal airway• Surgical management: removing and
shortening posterior bony septum, removal of superior-lateral nasal wall & lateral pterygoid plate, stented 3-6 weeks
![Page 19: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Laryngomalacia• Most common cause of neonatal stridor
• Develops within first 2 weeks of life
• Usually resolves by 2 years of age
• Inspiratory stridor results from collapse of the supraglottic larynx
![Page 20: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Laryngomalacia• Anterior prolapse of arytenoid
mucosa: laser excision of redundant mucosa
• Short tethered aryepiglottic folds: laser or microscissor supraglottoplasty
• Posterior collapse of the epiglottis: epiglottopexy
![Page 21: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tracheal Vascular Anomalies
• Innominate artery compression
• Double aortic arch
• Right aortic arch
• Pulmonary artery sling
• Pulmonary artery dilation
![Page 22: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Innominate Artery Compression
• Most common vascular compression
• Artery arises further to left than usual
• Causes anterior tracheal wall compression particularly during expiration and cough
• Treatment: aortopexy
![Page 23: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Double Aortic Arch• “Complete vascular ring”• Second most common• Derived from persistence of the paired
aortic arches• Encircles the trachea and esophagus
and joins to form the descending aorta• Imaging shows posterior esophageal
compression• Treatment: divide the vascular ring
![Page 24: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Neonatal “Stridor” Consult• History
– Time of onset, progression– Identify initiating factors– Effects of positioning, feeding, or crying– History of prematurity, difficult labor/delivery, intubation
at birth, cardiac surgery
• Exam– Document quality of stridor and timing with respiration– Characterize cry and presence of cough & dysphagia– Hoarseness – Prolonged exhalation
![Page 25: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Congenital Bilateral VC Palsy• Second most common cause of neonatal
stridor• 10% of all congenital laryngeal anomalies• Typically presents within first month of life• Symptoms: stridor, cyanosis, apnea, feeding
difficulty• Slight M>F dominance, bilateral>unilateral• Causes: neurologic disease,
meningomyelocele, trauma, idiopathic
![Page 26: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Congenital Bilateral VC Palsy
• Prognosis: spontaneous recovery is unpredictable – Usually within 6 and 36 months– Less likely with associated neurologic problem– Less common when bilateral
• Treatment: vocal cord lateralization, arytenoidopexy, posterior cricoid split
![Page 27: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Subglottic Hemangioma• Caucasian
• 2:1 female:male
• 50% affects the head and neck region with subglottis being the most common subsite
• Can be multiple
• Peaks at age 6 weeks, before 6 months
• Most common symptom: initially intermittent stridor, progresses to become constant
![Page 28: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Subglottic Hemangioma• Diagnosis: direct laryngoscopy• Smooth, soft, compressible sessile mass
from lateral wall of subglottis• Can be biopsied without hemorrhage• Natural history: rapid proliferation to 1yr
then resolution of airway symptoms 2-3 years (growth of larynx)
• Treatment: laser excision, systemic steroids, interferon alfa-2a
![Page 29: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Endotracheal Tubes & Complications
• ID (mm) = [age in years + 16] / 4
• Prevention! Correct technique and size
• Complications: lacerations, cricoarytenoid dislocation, nerve injury (lingual, hypoglossal, superior laryngeal, RLN), vocal cord injury
• Risk of subglottic stenosis from prolonged intubation >7-10 days outweighs the risk of tracheotomy
![Page 30: Cd6e Coclia86 Neonatal Resp Distress](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/556b1839d8b42adb338b47c1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Cricoid Split• Purpose: to decompress the complete cricoid
ring and temporarily expand the lumen without stenting
• One week period of intubation is required
• Indications: failed extubation from subglottic edema or soft immature stenosis
• Contraindications: less than 1.5 kg, oxygen requirement >35% from BPD
