WHAT DOES STRIDOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Stridor

Stridor is a high-pitched musical breath sound resulting from turbulent air flow in the larynx or lower in the bronchial tree. It is not to be confused with stertor which is a noise originating in the pharynx. Stridor is a physical sign which is caused by a narrowed or obstructed airway. It can be inspiratory, expiratory or biphasic, although it is usually heard during inspiration. Inspiratory stridor often occurs in children with "croup." It may be indicative of serious airway obstruction from severe conditions such as epiglottitis, a foreign body lodged in the airway, or a laryngeal tumor. Stridor should always command attention to establish its cause. Visualization of the airway by medical experts equipped to control the airway may be needed.

Definition of stridor in the English dictionary

The definition of stridor in the dictionary is a high-pitched whistling sound made during respiration, caused by obstruction of the air passages. Other definition of stridor is a harsh or shrill sound.
