What happens during the disease - other congenital malformations of trachea
Other congenital malformations of the trachea are caused by abnormal development of the trachea during fetal development. these malformations can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, or a combination of both, leading to abnormal growth and development of the trachea. these malformations can range from narrowing of the trachea due to a web or membrane, to complete tracheal agenesis, where the trachea is completely absent. these malformations can result in difficulty breathing, recurrent infections, and in some cases, death.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To improve the patient's breathing and prevent further complications.
- Administer oxygen therapy as needed to improve breathing.
- Perform tracheostomy to create an airway.
- Perform endoscopic surgery to remove any obstructive tissue.
- Perform bronchoscopy to assess the extent of the malformation.
- Perform corrective surgery to repair the trachea.
- Administer medications to reduce inflammation and improve breathing.
- Monitor the patient's condition and adjust the treatment accordingly.
