2021, Expert Systems with ApplicationsCitation Excerpt :Once upper-airway obstruction is diagnosed and treated, most of the symptoms are relieved. Failure to diagnose the condition in the early stages, on the other hand, can lead to progressive respiratory symptoms and even respiratory failure (Jain & Mehta, 2016; Kryger, Bode, Antic, & Anthonisen, 1976; Empey, 1972). Currently, airway obstructions are diagnosed and monitored using both minimally-invasive and invasive techniques, such as bronchoscopy, fibrotic endoscopy, radiography, and computerized tomography (CT) (Sprigings & Chambers, 2017; Manno, 2010).

2010, Anesthesiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :The primary effect occurs early in expiration and results in a truncated, flat-topped flow-volume curve, with a normal late expiratory portion of the flow-volume curve.17,18 It is important to remember that the quality of the flow-volume loops is totally dependent on the patient's effort and cooperation and that tracings obtained may not have the shapes presented earlier.19 Imaging can be very useful in evaluating these patients.
