Acute laryngeal edema requires prompt medical attention. Emergency treatment includes medication, surgery and other modalities, all of which should be carried out under the guidance of a physician.
1. Drug treatment: it is suitable for patients with laryngeal edema accompanied by stridor, which affects breathing. If the patient does not have the triple concave sign, glucocorticoids, anti-allergic drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs can be given to help eliminate the edema.
2. Surgical treatment: It is suitable for patients with particularly urgent conditions, who have developed dyspnea, triple concave sign and hypoxia symptoms. The patient should be intubated to save the patient’s life, and if necessary, cricothyrotomy or tracheotomy may be given to help the patient restore ventilation. Acute laryngeal edema can lead to respiratory failure with a high mortality rate if not treated urgently.
When acute laryngeal edema occurs, it should be treated promptly to avoid life-threatening situations.
