“Croup syndrome” : a group of diseases• Laryngotracheitis• Spasmodic croup, • Bacterial tracheitis, • Laryngotracheobronchitis, and• Laryngotracheobronchopneumonitis.
Manifestation : Hoarse voice ; dry, barking cough; inspiratory stridor; and respiratory distress ,develops over a brief period of time
Infection: Common and typical
2
1. Acute viral infection : acute laryngotracheitis obstruction of the upper airway, larynx, infraglottic tissues, trachea
2. Bacterial and atypical agents
3. Noninfectious : foreign body aspiration, trauma (Intubation), and allergic reaction ( acute angioneurotic edema)
3
15 % of respiratory tract disease Aged 1-6 years of age ( mean:18 mo) Peak incidence, 5 cases / 100 during
second year of life, Boys > Girls
4
1. Parainfluenza viruses ( tipes 1,2 and 3) : 65 %
2. Adenovirus, RSV, Measles3. Mycoplasma pneumoniae
5
Laryngotracheobronchitis and laryngotracheobronchopneumonitis :• Streptococcus pyogenes,• S pneumoniae,• Staphylococcus aureus, • Haemophilus influenzae• Moraxella catarrhalis
6
7
Nasopharynx respiratory ephitelium on larynx and trachea bronchus
Diffuse inflammation, erythema and edema develop in tracheal walls impaired mobility of vocal cord
Subglotic trachea swelling cause encroaches on the airway and airflow restriction inspiratory stridor and hoarse voice.
8
Tracheal lumen obstructed by fibrinous exudate and pseudomembranes.
Histologic : marked edema, cellular infiltration of histiocytes, lymphocytes, plasma cell and PMN leucocytes
9
Rhinorrhea, pharyngitis, low grade fever of few days duration, and mild cough
After 12-48 hours upper airway obstructive sign and symtomss are noted “barking” cough, hoarseness, and inspiratory stridor, fever +/-
10
Hoarse voice, coryza, a normal or inflamed pharynx and slightly increased RR
Most cases only the hoarseness and barky cough, no evidence or airway obstruction
Gradualy normalize whithin 3-7 days.
11
Increasing severity of obstruction and accompanied by:• Increasing HR and RR• Flaring of alar nasi• Cyanosis with supra and infraclavicular and sternal
retraction• Restless and anxious with the development of
progressive hypoxia• Duration of illness 7-14 days
12
Elevated WBC above 10x109 /L ( 10.000/cu mm ), PMN predominant
Anterior CXR : subglottitis narrowing
13
14
Extensions of acute laryngotracheitis. Sign and symptoms of laryngotracheitis
suddenly progresses to severe desease caused by :• Bacterial superinfection ,sudden worsening of clinical
sign and symtoms, high grade fever, Increasing work of breathing (RR, Rales, Wheezing, Air trapping )
• CXR : pulmonary infiltrates May requires intubation or a tracheostomy.
15
Occur at night, children 3 months – 3 years
Awakens at night with sudden dyspnea, croupy cough, and inspiratory stridor (sudden subglottic edema), no fever
Endoscopic : pale and boggy laryngeal mucosa
16
Epiglottitis :• Lack of croupy cough, drooling, toxic appearance,
growing anxiety and apprehension• A sitting posture, chin pushed forward, refuse to lie
down• Inspection : cherry-red epiglottis
17
• Laringotracheitis :“ The Steeple Sign”
• Epiglottitis : “ Thumb Sign”
18
19
20
DD :• Foreign body aspiration and angioneurotic edema• Laryngeal diphtheria• Retropharyngeal or peritonsilar abscess• Subglottic stenosis• Infectious mononucleosis• Bacterial tracheitis• Paraquat poisoning• Importance information : immunization history,
clinical evidence of pharyngeal involvement, greater degree of hoarseness and relative slowness of disease progression
21
Primarily : Clinical CXR : Plain film of the neck
• Steeple sign• Overdistended hypo pharynx( lateral)
Pulse Oxymetri : maybe normal Need : serial observation and frequent
physical exam
22

Comparison of the Features of Epiglottitis and Croup
24
Serial observation Mist therapy Epinephrine Steroids
25
Cool mist is as effective as hot steam Cool mist moistens airway secretions Humidity the viscosity of mucus
secretions
26
Stimulate -adrenergic receptor For moderate to severe distress Decreased stridor/retractions (<2hrs)
• Rebound phenomenon• Observe 3-4hrs after administration
Side effects: tachycardia, hypertension
27
Dose : 0,25 - 0,75 ml of 2,25 % racemic epinephrine solution in 2,5 ml NaCL, every 20 mnt
If not available, 5 ml mixture of l-isomer epinephrine and saline ( 1:100)
Caution : tachycardia, ToF, Ventricular outlet obstruction
28
Single parenteral dose; • 0,6 mg/kgBW dexamethason( max 10 mg)• 0,15 mg /kgBW dexamethason is as effective as 0,3 or
0,6 mg /kgBW in relieving symptom• Clinical improvement not apparent until 6
hrs of initiation of treatment• Nebulized budesonide (dose 2 - 4 mg), rapid
effect (2-4 hour)
29
Endotracheal intubation• Severe croup, with hypercarbia and probable respiratory
failure• Only for brief period Helium-oxigen mixture Antibiotics Evidence for bacterial infection Aim for S aureus, S pyogenes, S pneumoniae and H
influenzae Initial treatment second generation of cephalosporin or
combination therapy with semisyntethic penicillin and third-generation cephalosporin
30
Croup is a common viral illness in children, generally benign
Treatment options :• Mist – years of use• Epinephrine – years of experience and trials support its
use• Steroids – good evidence to support• Not preventable• Vaccine could reduce the incidence of croup
due to influenza A and B
