Examination of the child with respiratory distress starts with the identification of the site of the lesion. In upper airway obstruction in which stridor is the hallmark, decisions about the severity of the condition are based almost exclusively on clinical examination. Intrathoracic lesions, however, require both careful clinical and laboratory evaluation. Although each disease requires specific attention, these principles of management should prove helpful when treating the child with respiratory distress.
对有呼吸窘迫的儿童进行检查首先要确定病变部位。在上气道梗阻中，喘鸣是其特征，对病情严重程度的判断几乎完全基于临床检查。然而，胸内病变则需要仔细的临床和实验室评估。尽管每种疾病都需要特别关注，但这些治疗原则在治疗有呼吸窘迫的儿童时应会有所帮助。
