The most frequent complication of the processes of stent insertion has been respiratory failure because of carbon dioxide retention, consequent on obstruction with secretions in the area of the carina.
Unseeded grafts developed strictures, with consequent complete esophageal obstruction, while seeded ones showed the regeneration of squamous epithelium, muscularis mucosa, and smooth muscle tissue and a good distensibility.
"There does not appear to be any challenge to the judge's findings of fact on the extent and nature of the obstruction and consequent public nuisance caused," he argued.
It is known that upper airway obstruction and consequent mouth breathing may result in pulmonary diseases.
Setting: Tertiary care children's hospital Patients: Four neonates, ages 2 weeks to 3 months, evaluated for nasal obstruction and consequent respiratory distress.
Some authors claim that diseases such as allergies [17], chronic colds, habits [22, 27], head position [12], or shape of the upper airway [2, 7] may lead to nasal obstruction and consequent OB [1, 8, 12, 13, 16, 28].
Atherosclerosis is associated with increase of the arterial intima media thickness (IMT), leading eventually to luminal obstruction with consequent ischemic events, such as myocardial infarction and stroke.
Marik and Sibbald reported worsening of gastric oxygenation when transfused blood cells were stored for more than 15 days and they postulated that prolonged storage time could make the cells rigid and this could, in turn, lead to capillary obstruction and consequent decrease in local blood flow [ 6].
The increase in effort for breathing to overcome obstruction and its consequent calorie demand are a further mechanism by which OSA impacts growth.
Frequently, one of the ends of the tube is patent, leading to decompression of the tubal obstruction with discharge and consequent shrinkage of the pelvic mass, resulting in a temporary resolution of symptoms, as described in the clinical presentation.
