Tracheitis: Prevention

To prevent tracheitis (inflammation of the trachea), attention must be paid to reducing individual risk factors.

Behavioral risk factors

  • Consumption of stimulants
    • Tobacco (smoking) – nicotine abuse

Environmental pollution – intoxications (poisoning).

  • Chemical irritant tracheitis – caused by chemical substances such as irritant gas.
  • Mechanical-irritant tracheitis – caused by mechanical stimuli.
