Acute epiglottitis in an older patient: a case report and review of the literature

Acute epiglottitis is a medical emergency with a rapid progression and severe consequences, thus requiring a high index of clinical suspicion in patients presenting with nonspecific symptoms. A multidisciplinary approach and immediate therapeutic measures are imperative to ensure the safety of the airway through basic and invasive procedures, in addition to strict postprocedural follow-up. This approach is fundamental to optimize health outcomes among these patients.

Abstract

Acute epiglottitis is a medical emergency with a rapid progression and severe consequences, thus requiring a high index of clinical suspicion in patients presenting with nonspecific symptoms. A multidisciplinary approach and immediate therapeutic measures are imperative to ensure the safety of the airway through basic and invasive procedures, in addition to strict postprocedural follow-up. This approach is fundamental to optimize health outcomes among these patients.
