If I face a case oflaryngeal edema due to fire smoke inhalation ? How to deal in primary care clinic ?I have laryngoscope . ET tubes , oral airway ? Cricothyrodotomy or intubation ? And what is next step connect tube to o2 sylinder or ambobag or leave him breath spontanously
If there is a risk you should secure the airway as a precaution,intubate use minimal ventilatory support move them quickly to bipap with minimal support(if any), Observe aim to extubate asap, most likely would be extubated within 48 hours as Oedema recedes quickly if there is no burn
