For-eign bodies in the larynx and diseased processes contiguous to it, causingobstructive dyspna?a, are, as a rule, better treated by tracheotomy than byintubation. Chronic stenosis of the larynx from tubercle, syphilis, and otherchronic states of an inflammatory nature can be promptly and often effec-tually treated by intubation. However, the chief importance of the measurerests in affording prompt relief in impending suffocation from membranousobstruction (Fig. 1277). The following is a description of the apparatus:.
