AutodrownageCategory: BRONCHOSCOPY IN DISEASES OF THE TRACHEA AND BRONCHI Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery Autodrownage is the name given by the author to the drowning of the patient in his own secretions. Tracheobronchial secretions in excess of the amount required to moisten the inspired air, become, in certain cases, a mechanical menace to life, unless removed. The cough reflex, forced expiration, and ciliary action, normally remove the excess. When these mechanisms are impaired, as in profound asthenia, laryngeal paralysis, laryngeal or tracheal stenosis, etc.; and especially when in addition to a mild degree of glottic stenosis or impaired laryngeal mobility, the secretions become excessive, the accumulation may literally drown the patient in his own secretions. This is illustrated frequently in influenza and arachidic bronchitis. Infants cannot expectorate, and their cough reflex is exceedingly ineffective in raising secretion to the pharynx; furthermore they are easily exhausted by bechic efforts; so that age may be cited as one of the most frequent etiologic factors in the condition of autodrownage. Bronchoscopic sponge-pumping (q.v.) and bronchoscopic aspiration are quite efficient and can save any patient not afflicted with conditions that are fatal by other pathologic processes.
