Cpap And Infants
Health Encyclopedia: Tracheomalacia
People with tracheomalacia must be monitored closely when they have respiratory infections. Most infants respond well to humidified air, physical therapy, careful feedings, and antibiotics for infections.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may be necessary for adults with respiratory distress. Rarely, surgery is needed. In the case of acquired tracheomalacia, the placement of a stent to hold the airway open may be necessary.
