Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) happens when your main airway and the airways leading to your lungs close more than they should, affecting your ability to breathe. Thomas Gildea, MD joins this episode of Respiratory Inspirations to talk about TBM and excessive dynamic airway collapse (EDAC). He explains how the large airway works, what happens when it’s not working well and how he diagnoses TBM/EDAC. He also covers how the condition is treated and what the EDAC/TBM program at Cleveland Clinic offers.
