Abstract
Acute epiglottitis is a serious disease because of its potential for sudden fatal obstruction. We reported a case of acute epiglottitis that demonstrated airway obstruction 5 minutes after coming to the hospital. The patient underwent emergency cricothyrotomy and was successfully resuscitated, however subglottic stenosis ensued in 4 days after the cricothyrotomy. Cricothyrotomy is effective when a patient has rapidly progressive stenosis in the upper airway, but has high risk of complications post-operatively. To avoid such outcome, proper examination and properly timed restoration of the airway by tracheotomy or tracheal intubation are required with acute epiglottitis.
