Practical points in the management of laryngospasm
J Post Anesth Nurs.
1989 Feb.
Abstract
Laryngospasm is an emergency situation and must be promptly recognized. Without quick recognition and proper treatment, the patient's airway may occlude, leading to respiratory arrest followed by cardiac arrest. Because laryngospasm is a potential life-threatening postoperative event, the PACU nurse must remain a guardian of the airway.
