    Journal: J Accid Emerg Med; 1998 Mar; 15(2):114-5. PubMed ID: 9570055.
    Abstract:
    Supraglottitis in the adult can progress rapidly to complete airway obstruction. Successful management requires a high index of clinical suspicion at initial presentation and anticipation of a fulminant course. All cases should be assessed in a resuscitation area by senior medical staff.
