A road is a channel, a road, an access or a road. Respiratory, in turn, mentions what is linked to breathing: the process that allows you to inhale air to store some of its elements and then expel it, already modified.
It is known as the airway due to the grouping of organs that allow breathing. The concept, therefore, is equivalent to the notions of respiratory apparatus and respiratory apparatus. The airways are made up of the nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles, which carry inhaled air to the alveoli and lungs. Different structures are also involved in breathing, such as the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles.
The upper part of the airways is known as the airways. It is possible to differentiate between the upper airways (from the nostrils to the larynx) and the lower airways (from the trachea to the bronchioles). The obstruction of the airways prevents a person from breathing: therefore, this obstruction leads to death when it is maintained for a certain time. On the other hand, the respiratory tract can cause harmful substances to enter the body; therefore, in certain areas, it is necessary to protect them with masks and filters. Within the diseases and disorders of the respiratory tract, one of the most common are colds or colds, which involve inflammation of the nasal passages. Influenza is an infection caused by a virus that affects the respiratory tract. On the other hand, there is the obstruction of the upper respiratory tract, a problem that occurs when they are obstructed or narrowed more than normal, causing the person not to breathe easily. The parts of the upper tract commonly affected by this disorder are the larynx, pharynx, or trachea. As for the causes of the obstruction, the possibilities are many, as you can see below: * an allergic reaction in which the throat or trachea swells to the point of closing, something that can occur after taking certain antibiotics (such as penicillin), peanuts, or some blood pressure medication (such as ACE inhibitors), but also as a result of a bee sting;
* burns and reactions by contact with a chemical product. In this case, symptoms such as abdominal pain, dizziness, seizures and itching may appear; * infection in the epiglottis (the superficial tissue of the trachea) known as the epiglottis; * smoke inhalation, with or without burns; * Presence of foreign bodies in the respiratory system after accidental inhalation. This can include small toy parts, buttons, hard, hard-to-break food fragments, or even coins. As with the causes of airway obstruction, the symptoms also include a long list including: restlessness and agitation; bluish-colored skin (known as cyanosis); altered state of consciousness (decreased consciousness); confusion; suffocation; panic and wheezing with difficulty inhaling; Fainting; different breath sounds, such as whistles or wheezes. In a case like this, doctors would recommend a physical examination that may include langyroscopy, bronchoscopy, and X-rays, although not all are necessary. As expected, the treatment depends on the cause of the disorder, since as we have seen, they can vary a lot from each other; While objects that have been stunned can be removed through various interventions, meanwhile, cases resulting from infections and inflammations may require more “violent” procedures, such as tracheotomy.
