A case of acute epiglottitis in a 79-year-old man is presented describing the airway and anaesthetic management. Early reports of adult epiglottitis advocated observation or tracheostomy for airway management. Recent reports stress early endotracheal intubation. Unlike the paediatric age group adults may present with differing degrees of airway obstruction, epiglottic abscess, and with a more diverse set of medical problems. This can make airway management more variable than in children. A discussion of airway management in adult epiglottitis is presented.
本文介绍了一名79岁男性急性会厌炎病例，描述了气道管理和麻醉处理。早期关于成人会厌炎的报告主张观察或气管切开术进行气道管理。近期报告强调早期气管插管。与儿童年龄组不同，成人可能表现出不同程度的气道阻塞、会厌脓肿以及更多样化的医疗问题。这使得气道管理比儿童更具变数。本文对成人会厌炎的气道管理进行了讨论。
