    Acute epiglottitis can cause severe hypoxemia without cyanosis or hypercapnia. This study polled otolaryngologists on the feasibility of emergency tracheotomy during failed intubation for acute epiglottitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Respiratory Physiology

    Background:

    • Acute epiglottitis presents with severe hypoxemia but often lacks cyanosis and hypercapnia due to unimpaired CO2 elimination.
    • Failed intubation in acute epiglottitis creates a critical airway obstruction scenario.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the perceived time feasibility of performing life-saving tracheotomy in cases of failed intubation for acute epiglottitis among otolaryngologists.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was distributed to 600 otolaryngologists.
    • The survey queried their ability to perform emergency tracheotomy within critical time constraints.

    Main Results:

    • Data on the polled otolaryngologists' opinions regarding the time limits for emergency tracheotomy in acute epiglottitis.

    Conclusions:

    • The study aims to inform emergency airway management protocols for acute epiglottitis.
