Physical Signs Of Tracheal Foreign BodyCategory: FOREIGN BODIES IN THE AIR AND FOOD PASSAGES Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery If fixed in the trachea the only objective sign of foreign body may be a wheezing respiration, the site of which may be localized with the stethoscope, by the intensity of the sound. Movable foreign bodies may produce a palpatory thrill, and the rumble and sudden stop can be heard with the stethoscope and often with the naked ear. The lungs will show equal aeration, but there may be marked dyspnea without the indrawing of the fossae, if the object be of large size and located below the manubrium. To the peculiar sound of the sudden subglottic, expiratory or bechic arrest of the foreign body the author has given the name audible slap; when felt by the thumb on the trachea he calls it the palpatory thud. These signs can be produced by no condition other than the arrest of some substance by the subglottic taper. Once heard and felt they are unmistakable.
