Upcoming (potential) obstruction of the Upper Respiratory Tract (URT) from malign origin – problems in the behaviour and in the therapy and treatment

Abstract

The obstruction of the upper respiratory tract (URT) of adult patients is a medical problem / case, but it becomes a socio-medical one if an obstruction is expected in the future. It represents a serious challenge in the othorhinolaringologic practice mostly with diagnozed, non-treated patients but also with non-diagnosed ill persons. When we consider our practical experience and the results from the modern research, we necessarily enter the area to update the behaviour towards and the treatment of patients with potential ( expected) obstruction.
