stridor(名词):指由于上呼吸道(尤其喉部或气管)狭窄或阻塞引起的高调、粗糙的呼吸音,常在吸气时更明显。医学语境中常用于提示气道紧急问题。(另有较少见的用法指一般“刺耳的噪音”。)
/ˈstraɪdər/
The nurse heard stridor and called the doctor right away.
护士听到患者出现喘鸣(stridor),立刻叫来了医生。
The child developed inspiratory stridor after the swelling narrowed his airway, so he was taken to the emergency department.
孩子因肿胀导致气道变窄而出现吸气性喘鸣(stridor),于是被送往急诊科。
来自拉丁语 strīdōr,意为“尖锐刺耳的声音、吱吱声”,源于动词 strīdēre(“发出尖叫/刺耳声”)。后来在医学中专指气道狭窄时产生的高调呼吸杂音。
