ABSTRACT
Upper airway obstruction is a frequent cause of admission to the emergency department and the intensive care unit. Symptoms are mainly represented by dyspnea and stridor. Severity must be rapidly assessed to allow adapted treatment and avoid cardiac arrest and hypoxic encephalopathy. The possible etiologies are numerous, with acquired and congenital ones, but the majority is represented by laryngitis, lymphoid hypertrophy and laryngotracheomalacia. In case of respiratory failure, treatment must first establish airway patency with bag and mask ventilation, and then intubation. If vital prognosis is not threatened, biologic, radiologic or endoscopic examination can be performed to identify the cause of the obstruction and treat it.
