  • Respiratory System
CONT

Remember, young infants normally have abdominal breathing, so be certain that it is not simply normal chest-abdomen movement that is present. Also be sure that the indrawing is not restricted to the midline, as occurs in pectus excavatum. True subcostal indrawing is abnormal and usually means stiff lungs from either cardiac or pulmonary causes.

French

CONT

Un tirage sous-costal est un enfoncement de la paroi thoracique inférieure lorsque l'enfant inspire et représente un signe de détresse respiratoire. L'enfoncement de la paroi thoracique ne fait pas référence au mouvement du tissu mou entre les côtes.
