Chetambath, Ravindran
- Abstract
The article focuses on tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) and its association with airway inflammatory diseases. Topics discussed include TBM acquired due to chronic inflammation or infections; its association with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and excessive dynamic airway collapse (EDAC) caused due to invagination of tracheobronchial tree's posterior wall. Other topics include a study on persistent wheeze in patients with COPD and computed tomography (CT) for diagnosing TBM.
