The
patency of the larynx and the trachea is sometimes compromised acutely
with a direct threat of suffocation or asphyxia. Of old this occurred
quite often as a consequence of diphteria and other infectious diseases
or as a result of various kinds of exogenous traumata. Infectious
diseases for instance, epiglottitis are still among us but are usually
handled efficiently by medication and occasionally by intubation.
