An approach to stridor in infants and children.
Stridor is a clinical sign, common to many disease entities which may compromise the airway. Although stridor may herald a life-threatening condition, most patients have a minor self-limiting condition. Diagnosis based on the character of the stridor alone is tenuous, and consideration of presentation other than the stridor is discussed in the management of these infants.
