stridor?or croup?

hi, i'll do my best to keep this as short as possible.My son has had breathing problems since he unexpectedly collapsed last year,this resulted in a 3wk stay in Itu, then a further five months in hospital as he had a tracheostomy fitted and due to his special needs found it hard to deal with, anyways since we have been home after he had a surgical de-cannulation he's breathing has not been right, first very breathless so he needs to use a wheelchair for all out door and now slightly less breathless looks good in himself but makes this wierd noise on an intake of breath which is getting louder and more frequent but showing no signs of disress, he's still under the Ent surgeon and i've recently sent him a video tape of this wierd noise, he's not come back to me yet but a friend reckons it's stridor? or croup? he had croup a lot as a baby but to me it's not sounding like that and he's not distressed, any advice i would be so greatful.

Re: stridor?or croup?

I would venture to say it is stridor. Since he has been de-cannulized I bet he has some sort of scarring in his trachea. This will cause the stridor. It can also explain his need for the wheechair. Your body works harder to move air when there is something blocking the way and it is really tiring. I have recently had a tracheal resection where they removed my scar tissue surgically and I no longer have that stridorous sound. Make sure that the ENT keeps an eye on him. The scar tissue can completely close off the trachea and they would have to re-trache him. Perhaps they can do a bronchoscopy for you to see how his trachea is healing? Good luck to you.

Re: stridor?or croup?

thanks for your advice, i'll be seeing him in just under a couple of weeks so i'll put the scar tissue point across, because i think that is the most likely. Hope you are feeling better after your recent op. Thanks again
