Inducible laryngeal obstruction presenting with breathlessness at hospital

The latest episode of Ask the Expert, formerly Curbside Consult, focuses on inducible laryngeal obstruction presenting with breathlessness at hospital.

 

Guest expert Dr Jemma Haines (Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, United Kingdom) is joined by Dr Brian Kent (St. Vincent's University Hospital, Dublin) and Dr Hitasha Rupani (University Hospital, Southampton).

Jemma, Brian and Hitasha discuss the case of a 28-year-old female diagnosed with asthma about five years ago, who has presented at the emergency department with breathlessness and chest tightness. It is the 15th time she has been admitted this year, how should the physician approach this case?

Ask the Expert - formally Curbside Consult - is a video discussion series. In each episode, two experts have an informal discussion or a 'curbside consultation' - an informal process, well-accepted in medical practice, where physicians seek advice from colleagues to assist in the management of a particular issue for a particular patient.
