Answer: • **Inspiratory**: Supraglottic (e.g., larynx)
• **Expiratory**: Intrathoracic (e.g., trachea/bronchi)
• **Biphasic**: Glottic or subglottic (fixed obstruction)
Extra: Stridor is a pathological breath sound produced by a partially obstructed airway.
- **Inspiratory stridor**: Suggests obstruction at the level of the larynx (supraglottic).
- **Biphasic stridor**: Suggests obstruction at the level of the glottis or subglottis.
- **Expiratory stridor**: Suggests obstruction of the lower trachea or bronchi (intrathoracic).
