Abstract
- The authors have experience of three cases of laryngeal edema after tracheal intubation for general anesthesia. Two cases have been treated by oxygen therapy, epinephrine spray on the larynx and dexamethasone injection. A case has been treated after tracheostomy. We find the etiology of laryrigeal edema as follows; trauma, infection and allergic response to the lubricant, rubber, plastic and to topical anesthetics. We should like to prevent and remedy complications of tracheal intubation.
