Overview
Future or Investigational Therapies
Heliox
- Helium and oxygen combined into "heliox" breathing gas can be used to alleviate croup symptoms by reducing upper airway obstruction.[1]
- Upper airway resistance to gas flow is reduced to relieve respiratory distress.
- There is evidence that heliox is as effective
