Symptoms of laryngeal muscle spasm

summary

Laryngopharyngeal spasm refers to the stimulation induced by blood, secretion or vomiting in the airway, central brainstem disease or airway operation, sputum suction under shallow anesthesia, oropharyngeal or nasopharynx airway placement, tracheal intubation or extubation on the laryngopharynx. It is mainly manifested as pharyngopharyngeal muscle twitch. This disease is mild in patients with mild inspiratory wheezing, more serious patients can appear complete upper respiratory tract obstruction. So, the symptoms of laryngeal muscle spasm now tell us.

Symptoms of laryngeal muscle spasm

Mild laryngeal spasm can be manifested as mild inspiratory wheezing, severe cases can appear complete upper respiratory tract obstruction. Although the former is not a fatal attack, improper treatment can rapidly develop into the latter. Complete upper respiratory tract obstruction is characterized by disappearance of inspiratory wheezing. It is particularly important that this kind of "silent" obstruction should not be mistaken for improvement of clinical manifestations.

Airway operation, sputum suction under shallow anesthesia, oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airway placement, tracheal intubation or extubation of throat stimulation. 2. It is caused by stimulation of blood, secretion, vomiting and reflux of gastric contents in airway. There is an old saying: eat without words, sleep without words. It is easy to make food and soup enter the airway, cause choking cough, even cause laryngeal spasm, make the patient glottic atresia, neither inhale nor exhale, unable to speak, on the verge of suffocation. At this critical moment, if you can press Tiantu point in time, you can relieve laryngeal spasm and make the patient turn the corner. The protruding point is located 2 inches below the laryngeal knot, just in the center of the suprasternal fossa.

In order to prevent laryngopharyngeal spasm, tracheal intubation and operation under light anesthesia should be avoided, and hypoxia and carbon dioxide accumulation should be avoided. Extubation is best performed when the patient is fully awake. Lidocaine can be used to prevent laryngeal spasm after extubation after tonsillectomy.

matters needing attention

Avoid spicy, too cold, too sour, spicy food. Such as hot pot, beer, yogurt, etc. Cold drinks can cause temperature difference is too big, strong stimulation of gastrointestinal tract, leading to sudden spasm. Stomach spasm disease, patients can immediately drink a cup of hot water, hot soup.
