sult in airway obstruction. The present study reports clinical features, management and patient outcomes in an acute epiglottitis. Subjects and Method Included in our retrospective study were 315 patients who were admitted with the diagnosis of acute epiglottitis between January 2006 and July to the department Otolaryngology-Head and Neck surgery, Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital 2018. The diagnosis of acute epiglottitis was established by confirmation of inflamed epiglottis using laryngoscope or computed tomography. Results Among 315 patients, 89 cases (28%) and 83 cases (26%) were found in the fifth and fourth decades, respectively. The mean age of patients was 45.0±13.94 years. The male to female ratio was 1.33:1. A total of 75 patients (23.8%) had co-morbidities, with hypertension (13.6%) being the most common. Fever was relatively uncommon, whereas most patients complained of sore throat. Ceftriaxone was the most common empirical antibiotic regimen prescribed and the use of steroids did not affect the length of hospital stay. Nine patients required airway intervention, including eight who underwent endotracheal intubation and one emergency tracheostomy. In patients who need airway intervention, systolic blood pressure, body temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, white blood cells and the proportion of dyspnea were significantly higher in comparison to the patients without airway intervention. Conclusion Although acute epiglottitis often has nonspecific symptoms, it may lead to sudden dyspnea and unstable vital signs, so an in-depth understanding of this disease is needed.
