“…8 Endotracheal intubation may be necessary, and awake fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation is the preferred method when feasible, with ready access to surgical airway equipment if intubation fails. 6,9,10 Tracheostomy is the conventional surgical management if intubation is unsuccessful. 8 In our study, airway interventions may have been more common at teaching institutions because of the acuity of the presenting patients, but there was still no difference in mortality based on hospital type.…”

“…A manutenção da via aérea é fundamental, devido ao risco de rápida obstrução e, consequentemente, morte (Miller, et al, 2018;Mcdonnough, et al, 2019;Fernandes, et al, 2020). O tratamento inicial é feito por meio de terapia com antimicrobianos de amplo espectro, intravenosos, além da remoção de fatores etiológicos e, se necessária, drenagem cirúrgica (Lee, et al, 2019;Bernardoni, et al, 2017;Edetanlen & Saheeb, 2018).…”
