Ninety children with acute epiglottitis were admitted from 1971 - 1977. Lateral extended neck radiograph was found to be a quick, safe and reliable way to establish the diagnosis. Out of 79, 77 (97%) had blood cultures yielding Hemophilus influenzae type b. Immediate institution of airway and antibiotics were the mainstay of treatment. All patients in the series survived. For short-term airway management, as in acute epiglottitis, nasotracheal intubation under general anesthesia was found to be the airway of choice. |
