    This study reviews 261 acute epiglottitis cases, detailing clinical features and treatment protocols. It compares nasotracheal intubation and tracheostomy, updating bacteriology and antibiotic data for pediatric care.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Acute epiglottitis is a severe upper airway infection in children.
    • Historical treatment protocols varied significantly.
    • Understanding the disease's epidemiology and microbiology is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review a large cohort of acute epiglottitis cases treated over 30 years.
    • To describe clinical presentations and analyze epidemiological data (age, season, sex).
    • To compare the efficacy of nasotracheal intubation versus tracheostomy and update bacteriology and antibiotic treatment strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 261 pediatric cases of acute epiglottitis.
    • Analysis of clinical features, treatment outcomes, and demographic data.

  • Comparison of airway management techniques: nasotracheal intubation and tracheostomy.

    • Main Results:

    • Detailed clinical features and disease presentation are described.
    • Epidemiological trends concerning age, season, and sex are analyzed.
    • Comparative outcomes of nasotracheal intubation and tracheostomy are presented, alongside updated bacteriological findings and antibiotic therapies.

    Conclusions:

    • Nasotracheal intubation and tracheostomy are viable primary treatments for acute epiglottitis.
    • Updated bacteriology and antibiotic guidelines are essential for managing pediatric acute epiglottitis.
    • This review provides valuable insights into the long-term management of acute epiglottitis in children.
