Laryngeal dyspnea is a life-threatening emergency situation. The diagnosis is clinical and made from the association of: inspiratory bradypnea, intercostal and sus-sternal inspiratory depression, with or without stridor. The aetiologies are most often laryngeal tumours or inflammatory oedema; incidence of epiglottitis has decreased due to vaccine against Haemophilus influenzae. Airway obstruction due to foreign body includes acute laryngeal dyspnea and reflex paroxysmal coughing without fever. Management of a laryngeal dyspnea depends on the aetiology and the severity of clinical symptoms. Medical treatment associates racemic epinephrine aerosol, steroids, and oxygenation. In the presence of severe dyspnea, intubation after anaesthetising the patient and positive pressure ventilation is required.

The management of children dyspnea depends on the severity and symptomatology. The severity assessment requires knowledge of the standards of respiratory rate by age and signs of failure ventilatory mechanics. Recognize the time of dyspnea is important because it guides the diagnosis. Inspiratory dyspnea is most often due to viral laryngitis but an age of less than 6 months or no vaccination against Haemophilus should suggest other urgent diagnostics. Dyspnea with inspiratory and expiratory wheeze is a sign of tracheal damage and needs specialized hospital care. Expiratory dyspnea is the sign of a lower airway affection. A first episode of wheezing during epidemics sign acute bronchiolitis whose support is purely symptomatic with DRP and nutritional splitting. Corticosteroids, bronchodilators and chest physiotherapy are not indicated. Asthma attack is defined as a third episode of wheezing, that requires the administration of salbutamol with an inhalation room, and even oral corticosteroids. Febrile dyspnea must seek auscultatory or radiological abnormalities confirming pneumonia to be treated by a probabilistic and emergency antibiotherapy.
