What is Central Airway Obstruction Overview about?
Central airway obstruction (CAO) is a condition that impedes airflow in the central airways, often misdiagnosed as asthma or COPD, requiring a high suspicion for accurate diagnosis. Management involves securing the airway and utilizing interventions like bronchoscopy and stent placement, with a multidisciplinary approach being crucial for success. The distinction between malignant and non-malignant CAO is vital for prognosis and treatment, with surgical options available for suitable patients.
