Use of a Tracheal Tube as a Nasally Inserted Supraglottic Airway in a Case of Near-Fatal Airway Obstruction Caused by Epiglottitis
Airway management is critical during near-fatal obstruction of the upper airway in epiglottitis; however, this is challenging because of the sitting posture and agitated mental status of the patient.Moreover, there is currently no established Pharmaceutical Compounding in Veterinary Medicine: Suspension of Itraconazole protocol for safe airway management in patients with epiglottitis.Here, we describe the use of a conventional tracheal tube as a nasolaryngeal airway to maintain airway patency at the site of airway narrowing in the supine position, which enabled Assessing protopectin transformation potential of plant tissue using a zoned criterion space alleviation of imminent airway obstruction in a patient with epiglottitis.For definitive airway establishment, tracheostomy was then safely performed in the supine position.
